This would have been a 4-star review but for a couple of things:

1. It still pisses me off that this whole series is a rip-off of Nalini Singh's Rock Hard series

2. The dozens and dozens of proofreading mistakes! For goodness sake - get a proper proofreader Kristen! This was littered with errors - so much so it nearly became a DNF. It was the worst book I've read for a very long time for mistakes (including the whopping continuity error in the middle). Awful. The person credited with proofreading in the acknowledgements should be ashamed.

Hmm. Not Lisa Kleypas's best. Not enough made of the storylines, especially considering West's past.

Not at all what I expected. i was looking forward to the usual frothy, funny chick-lit and instead I got a book that stirred the emotions. It wasn't bad at all, just not what i wanted or expected.
