For the most part, I enjoy Nicole Jordan's books. I pick them up when I see them, as they're generally well written and have good characters. My one qualm with her, however, is she really has a problem portraying tender love. Her sex scenes are steamy, her characters passionate and hot, yet her books generally lack the emotional tenderness that would make them really memorable. This book is no different, although she certainly makes an attempt to bring in an emotional "love" element towards the end. Unfortunately, it's not very convincing. He follows her around shopping a few times and takes her to a ball - not really enough to convince someone you're in love with them, sorry. Nonetheless, this book is enjoyable and worth a read - but don't expect to get too caught up emotionally. ( )
