This novel has it all... I got pulled in from the start, grinning like an idiot, giggling, cringing, and tearing up along the way. It was hot, unexpected, and truly surprising - despite the author's words in the beginning. The end got me smiling all giddy, which isn't too common an occurrence when I listen to audiobooks of this genre. (Most often I feel relief and joy, not such elation as with this novel!)
