Lukewarm at best. Nothing really HAPPENED. 
 *SPOILERS* 
 The 'climax' of the story occurred when the 'bad guy' (who turned out to simply be a completely egocentric slob, therefore harmless) came to the super party given by the heroine and the hero beat him up in the dark. 
 This is sooooo far beneath Balogh's usual stories. I miss her brilliance in Longing or her wit in More Than a Mistress. 
 Perhaps it has to do with the subject matter, but the characters themselves are so bland that there isn't much to look forward to.
