What was there I absolutely loved! The characters have chemistry and their relationships are great fun. This book is fun, funny, heartfelt, and hot. However, I wanted there to more buildup and follow through.
While I was very happy to see Kieran moving forward as a character towards the end, I didn't feel I ever really had the opportunity to see or feel it. From the storytelling perspective, it felt that when the romance's fireworks went off, the show was promptly wrapped up. While I certainly see the value in that, I did end the book feeling I hadn't gotten all this story or its characters had to offer, and seeing the story around the romance fleshed out could have created a greater feeling of involvement.
That said, this is a really enjoyable novel, a bit of a one-bite-brownie of literature. Does it give you everything a cake does? No. But it is very satisfying, sates a craving, and is vastly superior to any poorly cooked cake.
