Pretty standard start to a NR trilogy. The older I get, the more grating I find the gender essentialism in NR novels. I am especially frustrated that this novel includes a sexual assault between the main love interests (Cal brings Quinn to climax while she's asleep). It's not even that old of a novel (2008?) so I find this scene's inclusion pretty inexcusable. The repeated mentions of Quinn's "lifestyle change"/diet also haven't aged well IMO.
