Helpful Score: 2
This book probably just restored my faith in romance novels. I've been really bitter towards them lately because the main characters are always so predictable and the plots have holes large enough to fall into. Not so with this story!
Both characters are likeable and witty. They have a very unconventional relationship which makes the romance interesting. And the plot of the book takes up more of the pages than the sex scenes. There were two or three really good steamy ones, but the rest of the book focuses on the plot, not just describing lush curves and throbbing members. Many other romance novels seem to skip the plot and just write really uncomfortable sex.
A few downfalls - I liked each character individually but wasn't quite sure what they saw in each other. Another question I had was, if Judith had been so discreet with her previous relationships, how is it everyone and their sister seems to know about them, to the point of having wagers on how long her relationship with Gideon will last? Also, the author uses the expression "adventure" to the point of silliness.
But still, it is a very good unconventional romance novel. I definitely look forward to reading more in the series!
