This was an enjoyable read, but at times I felt it was lacking that special something that would take it to the next level.

I thought that Harper & Xander were a cute couple with great chemistry.  The spice was spicing - especially that hot tub scene!  I was also a huge fan of the way that they communicated with each other.  They acted like the grown ups they were, and when the third act drama happened, neither of them hid anything to protect the other.

However, I found Harper to be irritating, especially in the first half of the book.  Despite repeatedly being told by Xander that he wants to try a relationship with her, Harper’s almost constant refrains on how she’s wrong for his image became very trying.  It just put me off & impacted my enjoyment of the story.
