Maybe my rating for this book is so high because it's the first I've read from this particular author and wasn't really sure what to expect. Most writing that centers around a romantic dynamic where the man isn't the dominant force in the bedroom, I have found, leaves a bit to be desired, with few exceptions.
Well, this one was a MAJOR exception. What a wonderfully-written little treat of a novella! I fell in love with many of the characters, and even those I didn't love were well-conveyed and served their intended purposes.
My only complaint is that this book was WAY TOO SHORT, so the story felt perhaps a tiny bit rushed, but that could just be my own greediness and the fact that I want SO MUCH MORE story about Gavin & Preshea! Please! I need a whole series!!
