What flawless writing, a wonderful story and great characters but just way too SHORT - did not want it to end !!! 
 The bad boy is Connor Sullivan, the gorgeous, highly successful corporate lawyer with the playboy persona - but beware as the 'bad' connotation is just a veneer. The nice girl is Abby Bartlett soon-to-be PhD and BFF of Connor's younger brother Brian. 
 The story follows Connor's attempts to get Abby to agree to be his latest 1-month girlfriend [a limit he places on relationships to avoid the eventual awkward breakup]. But also in the picture is his sibling and her BFF Brian Sullivan whose had a rough time the last 13 years, widowed after his wife succumbed to Huntington's disease and being single dad to 12 year old and absolutely adorable Skylar - and BTW he's also in love with Abby. 
 So what happens after the 1-month arrangement - prepare for a cliffhanger.
