I still get excited when I see a new BE book being published, but I think I may need to stop automatically purchasing them.  The reason: as with any other author, some of the common themes are becoming so common and used to the point where it seem as though Ms. Elsborg writes her books off a "recipe."PLOT SPOILER: So Wren is your typical BE heroine.  She has some issues from her childhood, bad luck with relationships, but comes from a happy home now.  Glass half-full, not half-empty.Adam is a rich man who starts off the story in a funk because he is in love/lust with his PAs, but they don't return his love/lust.  He had his own issues, but he worked them through before ever meeting Wren and Tomas.Tomas: he's the one with all the major issues in this book.  First, he's an undercover cop.  Second, he's bi, but due to a sexual incident in his past, he has trouble being with men.  And while Wren and Adam are being very straightforward and honest about what they want, Tomas is the wildcard.What I loved about this book: BE consistency of writing, and a small glimpse at Casper and Ally from Kiss A Falling Star!  Yay!  I only wished that they had more of them in the book.  For example, I kept waiting for Caspar and Ally to come back and save the day at the end.What I didn't like about this book: Same BE recipe of writing.  Honestly, some of the characters just really annoyed me.  For some reason, I felt no sympathy for Tomas and wished he would just get his head out of his a$$.  Also, I wanted Wren to stand up for herself against her cousin, her boss, etc.  If I were Wren, I wouldn't have chopped off my hair and dyed it to resemble a radioactive source.  I would have gotten my hair and nails done at a salon and then asked my cousin how she liked my left-overs, since that's all she'd ever had.
