This is my first book by this author. It started out really good and I was interested in the characters and their interactions to see where it would go. Even if Gideon seemed a little too stand-offish, I got it. The plot was interesting, and had some unique differences from similar roommate romance type of stories. As well as the whole best friend’s brother aspect to the story even had different aspects from what you usually read. The story felt a little slowed down or off to me about halfway through, and so I kind of sped-read the last half. While it wasn’t bad, in the end it wasn’t one that blew me away. There were some things the characters did that seemed out of character for how they’d been introduced and built up at the beginning for their personalities, and that just bugged me a bit. It was good enough though that I was able to finish, and wouldn’t be completely opposed to reading another book by this author in the future.
