Ashelyn has a knack for romance and creating situations with characters we can identify with. Julia is tired of not having someone to hold her hand, she wants what her best friend has. I have definitely felt like the third wheel and yearned for what my friends had regarding romance.

I noticed some similarities with the mocha cake and the yogurt scene from Romancing the R.A., but that might've stood out more for me since I read them back-to-back.

Julia also felt like a different person in this story compared to the first one where she spoke her mind and was funny. I missed the humor, but there is more sensuality in this story, which is just as entertaining and certainly made up for it.

I enjoyed the twists in Behind Closed Doors, the lies and the confrontations when the lies came out. I was engaged from beginning to end. I really liked Darren, too. There's nothing more alluring than a forbidden (not to mention sexy) older man.
