I drank this book in a big, long gulp. Awesome slow burn, awesome characters. I loved it and I can't wait for another installment in this series. 
 I recognised a lot of Gabriel's reactions and defenses from my own life experience and I felt a huge connection with him, which is a bit arse-about for most romances where I would identify more with the female lead. I liked how Sophie just got in under his walls and she wasn't going ANYWHERE (not really), she was a fucking rock. And that's exactly what he needed. Yep. I liked this romance in a massive way. 
 I also liked the first scene on the plane because it reminded me of a solo, overnight train trip I took when I was 15 and was seated next to an older (early 20's) guy. Yep. Nice times :-) 
 Anyway, out of my reverie. This book did it for me. Highly recommended.
