I really enjoyed this book. Darcy was a very feisty and confident heroine and Reece was almost a regular guy with his flawed personality. Note that I said "almost". My main beef with this book is the same one I have with a lot of Harlequin Mills and Boon romances: why do the heroes have to be incredibly wealthy men? I know romance novels aren't reality, but I like to relate to aspects of them and nothing turns me off more than a billionaire hero (except maybe a heroine that is a shy virgin). That said, I gave this book 4 stars because I found it to be well plotted, humourous, interesting and most of all because I liked the hero and heroine and I cared about them and their story. I've been reading a lot of romance novels lately (totes props for Christmas vacation time) and this is probably the best of the bunch and certainly one of the superior Harlequin's. The sex scenes are really well done, explicit but sensual. The sexual tension between the characters is almost tangible which is no easy feat. Good writer, great book. What's not to like?
