I thought this was a very satisfying ending to Lily and Ethan's story. I was worried about the pacing with the two main characters apart - most of what made The Apartment so great was the fantastic chemistry between the couple - but the author quickly alleviated my worries and gave her readers a well-paced, sexy and emotional story. I am particularly impressed with the author's ability to write characters that feel totally believable, and instantly sympathetic. This was so far outside of my life experience, and yet I could absolutely understand Lily's impulses and reactions. I'm completely sold on this author, and can't wait to read what she writes next.… (mehr)

Wow, did I enjoy the crap out of this book. When I decide to read a romance novel, what I'm really looking for is escape - I want to read something completely unlike my actual life, with situations that I would never find myself in. And boy, oh boy, did this fit the bill.

Hot, brooding stranger? Check. Potentially ill-advised sexual exploration? Check. Rich, funny, nearly irritatingly perfect friends? Check. It's the combination I need for a perfect bit of escapism, and this novel hit all the right buttons. The main characters were realistically flawed, and I found myself rooting for their romance from the beginning. I couldn't stop turning the pages, because I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.

This was a great piece of fun, sexy entertainment, and I can't wait to read the next installment.
