Lacey Vaughn was unlucky in love.  None of her relationships ever work out, and now she had caught her latest boyfriend Evan cheating in the shower with her friend Christy.  She didn't understand what she was doing wrong, but could only determine she must be doing something wrong in bed, and that was why she kept having relationship problems.  Her best friend, Nick Stone thought that was laughable.  He had never been intimate with Lacey, but had been in love with her for a long time, and knew she wouldn't be a terrible bed partner.  He was just glad she was finally free so he could show her how good they would be together.This short read was ok, but didn't impress me very much as a large part of the premise was utterly absurd.  The conclusion that Lacey jumped to was not believable.  Instead of the myriad of reasons most women come up with for failed relationships - thinking they are not pretty, too fat, too serious, etc.  The only reason it could possibly be is sex.  We weren't provided any specific reasoning for this such as she was accused of being frigid or something.  I also didn't buy the alpha aspect with Nick.  He was labeled that way over and over again, but didn't really pull it off, and act it.  When he made statements such as "you see me as sexless" and I want you to see me as a man.  With most true alphas, it would never be a question.
