Review: Not sure at first... then loved it, especially the fire scenes!

At first, I wasn't sure if I liked the book.1) The meetings were so awkward and all they did was dream about each other for weeks after their first meeting. But... then I realized it wasn't a drawback, but an accurate picture of first experiences with a person you really like. (As one of the married characters said, "I'm glad I'm past that stage.")2) The girl seemed so stupidly helpless around "bad" guys, getting herself into situations where she could be compromised, while seeming to be pretty well able to refuse the good guy. Then... I realized that, while I didn't agree with the author's tactics, it was a genius way of wrapping my emotions into the story.3) There is a lot of mild sexual hints. Guys making references (sometimes by code) of different girl parts they find pleasing. The girl finally beds with the good guy, but just laying there - no "bad stuff"... stilllll....4) The girl winds her hair around her finger or puts it behind her ear like a KA-zillion times.. till you almost wonder if that's the only action she does. Besides swimming in her lover's blue eyes. And the book talks a million times about their brains going haywire. As if I hadn't noticed....  Those weren't necessarily drawbacks... just so repetitive it got oldddddd.There are great action scenes - gotta love that!Well written prose (although some misspellings did stand out)Dealt with different issues - death, unresolved conflict, false guilt, fear, stress, love, etc.All-in-all, I enjoyed the book and hope to read more by the author :)
