This is one of those books that seemed really short. I guess not a lot happened. The set up was quite different in that the heroine had a medical condition which kept her from enjoying sex. The hero was quite nice about the whole thing and had absolutely zero asshat moments. This was the rich tycoon that we'd all like to meet in real life. The man was caring and sweet and loving, just macho enough and rich.
The story was nicely done and all character motivations made sense. So all in all not very HPish eh? Still I consider it worth the read.
