I loved this story. I liked that they were friends first and that the hero valued the heroine as a person, instead of just being in lust with her. I liked that the heroine was courageous enough to try something out of the ordinary, although I wish she'd had more guts to go after what she really wanted from the beginning. I also liked that the hero wasn't too dense and woke up to his feelings pretty fast after he started to realise that things were changing between them; he didn't spend the whole story being in denial. And I liked that he was willing to break past all his own personal rules and do what needed to be done so that she would feel secure in the knowledge of his love. It was all pretty straightforward, there wasn't a lot of conflict but it's good because there were no silly misunderstandings. The story was reminiscent of Harlequin Mills & Boon but better, because current M & B stories tend to have both parties overpowered by lust for each other from the moment they set eyes on each other, and the guy is often in denial about his feelings right until the end and doesn't come to his senses until the heroine leaves him or something terrible happens to her.
