HOT! Warning... If steamy graphic scenes aren't your thing...this one probably isn't for you. I wanted a cold shower after a few of the love scenes between Jake, who after traumatic incidents in his past, has sworn off any true relationships and Melanie, who is independant, career driven and doesn't want the complication of a man. Plus, romantic involvements she did have weren't exactly satisfactory. After an accidental encounter...their romance unfolds at a nice realistic pace. Loved her friends. They were a little vulgar, but reminded me of my own group in lots of ways...so I really identified with some of them. The best thing about this book is that the characters aren't whiny sniveling bores. They are smart and ambitious and real. Its not great literature, but it was certainly a fun read!
