I was eagerly awaiting this book. Even the premise of the story sounded intriguing, and I couldn't wait to start this story. Unfortunately, I really had a hard time actually getting all the way through the story. While the concept was good, the execution was poor and the characters hard to like. The plot could have been great but I feel it was weak. Half the time I was struggling with all the jumps the author made in the story's time line. The first chapter was great, but then the second chapter jumped to a year later, and the third to a few months after that, and so on. The characters seemed to change, especially the heroine. She seemed sweet and shy at the beginning, but then quickly had the nerve to break into the hero's house. She only knew of the hero's horrible reputation, but pushed all that aside pretty quickly to be his friend. However, we were never given the chance to see how their frienshhip developed. I just wish that their changing relationship had been more focused throughout the book so that we could really discover and see its development between the two characters more fully.
