Review: Had potential...

Two former best friends reunite through letters while one of them is deployed overseas.This had a promising start, with letters being written back and forth. We got to know the characters a bit through their letters (although the letters from Darren did have a bit too much information considering he was sending them from a war zone). But once the characters met face to face I felt the story went down hill.The book lacked character development and at times it felt awkward and a bit contrived. For example, the self conscious main character went from shy to sex kitten extremely quickly -- referring to her own ass as "voluptuous" and not skimping on the dirty talk either. The sex scenes appeared out of nowhere and it almost felt as though they came from a different book. For some reason they seemed out of place, or thrown in just for the heck of it. There was also one random scene that was written in Darren's POV, which seemed strange.I really wanted to like this book, and perhaps if it was developed further I would. It was okay.
