Doesn't quite stand up the Proof by Seduction, Milan's first effort.
Several things don't work for me. First the through-line of the book, Ned withholding himself in order to manage his symptoms of bipolar disorder, is just not super interesting to read. There isn't a lot of action propelling the story. Second, I didn't buy how this couple comes back together. Ned abandoned Kate three months into their marriage and then returns three years later wanting to be accepted back into Kate's life. And what happens? Kate accepts him. Her lack of anger toward him, her easy willingness to take him into her bed - it just struck me as unrealistic. And not very romantic.
The romantic tension wasn't there for me in this book and the sensuality was much more tame than in Proof by Seduction. Not sure I'll read another Courtney Milan book very soon.
