Great HP. I'm really enjoying the books I've been reading lately from this author. There is a lot of depth here. This is a woman with a severe sexual trauma in her past. She meets a man who falls head over heels for her and will just not give up when he meets her rather frigid resistance. I liked his patient perseverance. I do wish he had been just a little quicker on the uptake. And I feel like had this book been written today he probably would have been. He did make a reasonable mistake about her though and it colored his approach to her. He did of course do something rather asshatty but it wasn't as bad as it could have been and on the whole he is one of my favorite HP heroes.

The book lost a star for me with the ending. I just didn't find it fully satisfying. On the whole though a great old HP. ( )
