I am a big fan of Delilah Marvelle. Her novels are consistently good, with great story lines and great heat in the bedroom. That said, this book had its problems. I would probably give this 3 1/2 stars if I could, just because it wasn't my favorite novel that she has done, and the heroine is really TOO STUPID TO LIVE! I was really shaking my head when the heroine rushed off to that house party, knowing the kind of scum that would be there. She really was clueless about her own safety and the possible outcome of her actions. I really felt sorry for the hero when he realizes what he'd done to her at the party. The heroine's anger towards the hero was a bit much, too, knowing how conflicted he felt before she tricked him into bed.  And that is never a good way to win over your man, by tricking him into bed, by the way. She was lucky he loved her so much and was ultimately willing to work things out between them. On the other hand, I liked the hero a lot. He had a tragic backstory but still managed to become a decent person.  Just like in lots of romance novels, I liked the hero way more than the heroine. I wish writers in this genre would work on making the heroine as compelling as the hero. When that rarity happens, I gladly bestow five stars!
