There were moments when I wanted to give even 5 stars for this novel. The characters were described very believable and interesting. This is the first book by Higgins I have read where the hero (a main male hero) wasn't a mystery at the end. Moreover, Levi is my favorite hero from Higgins' books. Probably, he is even the best hero of all contemporary romances I have read by now (but I must stress I have read only about a dozen). 
 The whole background and the past was revealed slowly, as memories. Most of the time it was absorbing. Unfortunately, I think the book should be shorter a little. I would have cut a few memories, maybe I wouldn't have repeated some of them. This is why I give it 4 stars, although it was the best Higgins' romance from four that I have read. 
 As I have written, I simply love Levi, the mix of "a boy next door", "a masculine man", "a man who can deeply love" with "a Darcy". I am not sure if such kind of a man is possible but what books are for? ;-) 
 Like in other Higgins' novel there was a humor (We all have met at least once Speedy Gonzalez, Senior Editioon), a family drama and a dog. I like how Higgins showed that the love can be found even in our times. And that Maybe love isn't just a bouquest of roses once in a while. Maybe it's just sticking it out, when it's hard, when you're mad, when you're tired. 
 [I think it is a bit more serious novel than three other I have read. Higgins covered here a few quite difficult issues]
