Started out verrrryyy slow for me, but picked up after about five chapters. Felt a little more chick lit than romance (although, yes, that is a fine line) for most of the book. The pairing itself was good -- I did like Olivia a lot, and I loved Connor. The thing that I didn't like was that, Spoilerthroughout the whole book we keep hearing about how Connor was the behind the most humiliating experience of Olivia's life -- and experience that has haunted her since it happened -- and then, after about 500 pages, it was resolved in two, and even those were partially indirect due to a conversation Olivia had with someone else. I wanted the resolution to cause sparks and tension between Olivia and Connor, not anyone else. And I wanted the making up that came with that.
SpoilerI was glad that at the end I got my romance HEA, but I wanted a little bit more togetherness there as well. Especially because the build-up was so much more thorough than in more conventionally sized romance books. Overall, however, I did enjoy the book and am looking forward to the next in the series.
