So good! Great interaction between Victoria and Ford! The scenes in the bar and that first night when picks up an entire bachelorette party are hilarious! His relationships with his sister, Brooke, and friends are also so real. I liked that he was getting as much talking with friends as she does. The whole "girl's best friend convinces her to sleep with the cute guy despite any reservations" is such an annoying plot device. 
 But my very favorite thing about this book is the very, very realistic way they both go about resolving problems from their childhood. Her fears don't go away magically when he's around, and he hasn't been stonewalling all the issues from his father. In too many stories, characters with lots of childhood or lifetime trauma are magically cured by luuurve. So suddenly the woman who was certifiable 50 pages ago is suddenly perfectly well adjusted because now her big alpha man is protecting her! Heaven forbid he should ever have to go to work, be out of town, get mad, etc.......
