Now this is what I have been waiting for!  Does everything I want to see in a romance to perfection. Smart, funny, great female friendships, taut tension, well-formed characters, friendships...the story and characters just leapt from the pages. We get to hear both dating guru magazine columnist Julie's perspective as well as uptight (and hot) Wall Street broker Mitchell's. Each is trying to get over on the other, she-"dared" by her boss to write a "what happens after the first date-taking it to the next step" column, he "dared" by a co-worker to have a fling- and each of the dares the complete opposite of their mutual histories.  She has a million flings, he just out of a near 10-year relationship. Love that the women (Julie's friends/boss) are strong but very real, natural human beings. Very relatable. Loved Mitchell, his humor, sexual prowess, yet a nice blend of tenderness too. Steamy, but not overly so. Well-balanced. OH and the "dark moment" had me teary-eyed. Kept me gobbling up the words so I could find out what happened!
