Not my usual fare, and rather more sex in it than I like in my romance (But, I picked this up knowing that and tried to go in with an open mind). 
 Still, I'm not sorry I decided to buy this book on an impulse. Yes there were some problems with the writing (The author has a horrible tendency to over explain - a lot [really, a lot]); however, it is still readable - if you're able to ignore the overuse of a few words. It was simple, straightforward, and uncomplicated prose. 
 There really is no plot to speak of in this book. This would normally have me tearing out my hair. So much of the action in this revolves around the relationship between Danny, Paul, and Eve that if there had been a "main plot" it would have bloated the book into unreadablity. Maybe that means some of the relationship stuff could have been cut down to make room for a more traditional plot? I'm not sure. The pacing only dragged for me in a few areas, so maybe I just have to accept that some plots only revolve around the relationship in the book. It was a bit strange to me, and it made the book feel slightly one dimensional in some areas. 
 I think the reason I liked this so much really had to do with the fact that I identified with aspects of Paul's personality and his dilemma. Which kind of says something about me, to those of you that have read the book. Suffice to say the greatest point of emotional tension in the novel had me in tears - and I literally had to put the book down and blow my nose several times. 
 Danny was a total ass, but that fit in with his character's personality. He was also vulnerable despite his walls and I think the author showed that nicely. I liked Eve too, and her clear misery involving her failed marriage and career attempts in New York. 
 I think characterization is where the author really shined, and that alone made this book have an emotional impact on me. 
 I was shocked I liked this book so much. 
 **For those of you that cannot tolerate a ton of sex in a novel - I do NOT recommend you pick this up. For those of you that can - and/or like a lot of sex in your reading material, this one might well connect with you too.
