I don't really quite know why I finished this book, at about half way mark I stopped really caring about how it ends. I suppose it was because the writing style is good and the book is short. The cover is nice too. Here, that was about all that I liked about this book. I give it 2 stars - it was a fairly easy and fast read and I can see how it might appeal to some people. 
 The plot is nothing original: two people who were childhood best friends meet up many years later under weird circumstances. The heroine goes from a complete doormat to a paranoid idiot, the hero goes from a raging asshole to a prime example of a caring male specimen. 
 I found the character development to be somewhat lacking. These two just lust after each other, there is no gradual awakening of their old friendship. The hero consistently keeps putting himself into situations where he could potentially cheat on his girlfriend. (like getting piss drunk on tequila with the heroine while home alone. Not very smart are we?) There's no cheating though. 
 A lot of things didn't add up. Heroine's family clearly had money. Her grandma & mom each owned a Victorian house on the beach in Newport, RI. I am from that area and those properties are serious money. Her mom is then represented as some loser living off of her current boyfriend. Where'd the money from selling the house go? 
 By the end of the book the heroine got on my nerves big time. She is not a very rational woman, she is an emotional wreck who constantly jumps to conclusions without having any facts. Her world revolves around this man and nothing else. Just not my type of heroine, I found it hard to connect with her character.
