The beginning starts off strong. Alice has a few appletinis and heads over to Noah's house to ask him to step in as a faux boyfriend on her sisters wedding cruise. After the first chapter I was really looking forward to this story. But things went downhill fast.Once Noah and Alice end up on the boat the story starts to slowly unravel.Alice's ex is never fully explained to the extent I felt he should have been. Her ex-bestfriend should have had more of a spot light as well. The emotional connection between Alice and Noah never fully fleshes out before they start dropping the L-bomb towards the end of the book.The sex is only subpar as well. There could have been a bit more tension and build up before the deed and the whole reveal that Alice knew Noah was a vampire fell extremely flat (and I felt that part needed to have the most emotion in it).I did love Alice's mother. I would've liked to see a lot more of her in the story.About 75% of the way through the book I started to get pretty bored. I felt the story was way to drawn out. Though the ending perked up a bit I felt the entrance of Noah's father Kane wasn't explained as well as it should have been. I also would have liked to have heard more about Alice's brother... but I assume that will be another book in the series.All in all the book as just O.K.I wouldn't be putting in on the top of a TBR pile, but it certainly would pass a rainy day just fine (as long as you had nothing else to do, like I don't know, washing the floor or something).If you enjoy vampires (not in the traditional sense, though) and a bare bones story - then this book is for you.If you want some heat, emotional depth and a well drawn plot - then I'd stay away.
