I adored Grey as a character. She was the perfect mix of innocence and confidence. Her personal growth throughout the book was done very well and was very believable.Dawson was an attractive, wonderful hero. I would have liked to see his conflict a little more, however. His past was there and maybe should have affected them a little more, not just be swept under the rug without a question.Their chemistry was off the chart and totally believable. I wanted her to give in to him the whole time, but her reasons against it were logical.The plot was great in the first 2/3 of the book. I devoured the book, reading late into the night. The plot was realistic and well thought out. The struggles and conflict were believable, as well. I didn't really like how the last 1/3 of the book skipped ahead over and over. We didn't see any of her internship (would their relationship not have affected her ability to work in said internship?), nor the beginning stages of their relationship. All conflict was over after the first 2/3 and all that was left was sex. It seemed like nothing more than filler. That was highly disappointing.The conflict with Grey's father was rather anticlimactic. She went back, he apologized, everything is great. No real resolution there. I would have liked to see more of a struggle, more of a push from both sides.The fact that the media discovered her past as a stripper was pretty anticlimactic, as well. She cried, he comforted, done. No growth in that department from her and no real resolution to the issue at hand. It should have been a bigger issue, even if she had accepted it.Can't wait till Jacinda Wilder's next book. She's a great writer and I'm never disappointed.
