This review contained SPOILERS.I have conflicted feelings about this book.THINGS I LIKED I thought the author did a good job of moving the story along.  I did not put it down but rather read it in one sitting.  Also, there were no obvious grammar mistakes and the book was a good length.Also I really liked some of the characters, primarily Aaron.  Aaron is the h, Etta former boyfriend and good friend. Aaron is attractive, loyal and a good person.  He was there for Etta during their boyfriend/girlfriend relationship and afterwards when they were only friends. She was still attracted to him but was made to break up with him due to her father who thought she was too young to be in a relationship with him.  Aaron was patiently waiting until she moved out of her home to again be with her romantically.  Even after they broke up including during her relationship with Damien, the H, Aaron stayed faithful to her, not dating anyone.  The author made it clear that he had plenty of opportunities to be with other women as he was attractive and they were interested in him.I like that the book has heat and passionate scenes. There is a strong attraction between Damien and Etta that is acted upon.  Also there is an attraction between Etta and Aaron which results in them making out before she was with Damien but after she moved out of her parent's house.WHAT I DISLIKED. I disliked parts of Etta's personality.  She is a ditzy person. She believed that unprotected sex would not result in pregnancy because Damien told her that it wouldn't. She took his word for it even though they were not using condoms nor any other form of birth control.  This is especially bad because she is 18 years old.  It is not like she is 14  years old and inexperienced.  She had other sexual relationships other then with Damien.  Also she is supposedly a girl who was smart enough to skip 2 grade levels.I disliked Damien. I usually love a possessive jealous heros.  The sole reason that I read this book was because it was mentioned on a thread devoted to heroes who display those traits.  However I did not like Damien. I strongly dislike cheaters. I believe that during their short 2 month relationship he could not keep it in his pants.  He was an artist who worked out of his home but would never share any information with Etta about his work other than he does portraits of women.  One of the times Etta past by his apartment door, she heard Damien telling a woman he dated to open her thighs and to pleasure herself.  Damien does not want Etta to speak with men but it is ok for him to be alone in his apartment with naked women. I believe that he sexually pleasured his customers  before during and after his relationship with Etta.  There is no question that he slept with OW after they were no longer a couple.  Shortly after they broke up, Etta went to his apartment to speak with him.  She opened the door and Damien was in bed with his customer.  Both were naked.Also Damien lies to Etta, steals her SIMS cell phone card to block out calls from Aaron and slowly starts to isolate her from everyone including her parents.  They spent so much time locked up in his apartment that they basically drop out of school.  Etta was a very good student before she met him.I also disliked that the book has a cliffhanger.  Right before the book ends it is 3 years later. Etta opens the door and it is Damien. He had been in prison during that period. They show Aaron walking towards her house with her daughter. The girl calls him daddy even though we know it is Damien's child. I will be so angry if Etta has not been with Aaron during the 3 year separation.  If she hasn't then she is just using him again, this time as  a substitute father for Damien's child.  I am hoping that in the second book that Etta is with Aaron and they have a HEA ending.  Aaron deserves it.
