I just finished this book and I thought most of the supporting female characters sucked, with the exception of Lois and that really cool aunt.

I *loved* Nick. He redeemed the book for me.

I read a lot of gay romance, so I’m not even gonna say what those latex gloves brought to my mind. O_O

Thanks Violet, although I am hardly alone among romance reviewers in biting a book and shaking that thing until it’s good and lifeless.

Kristie: LOL! Your comment inspired my first poll!

Sounds like you had some of the same reservations as I did. This was the first book I read after reading Broken Wing and I wasn’t sure if I was being fair or not. But your review confirms that even though I was still in the after glow of a previous book that rocked my reading world, I did manage to be as fair as I could be.
I also found Gina to be irritating and way too intrusive into Lee’s life.
One thing you didn’t mention in your review, but I found very irritating was the mother. As she didn’t seem to really care about Lee at all and just steam rolled over what Lee had to say about the previous boyfriend, I didn’t care for her character at all.

I have never read a review of a romance book which is so detailed and so interestig to read.
