I really wanted to like this more than I did. Grace Lennox can most definitely write (with great sentences like "The divine stranger sauntered to the bar like she had a patent on the satisfaction gene") and Chance is very likable. But something started nagging at me as I hit the two thirds point.

What keeps me from giving this four stars (and it's probably just me) is that it seems like the ending is rushed and Chance takes the "love the one you're with" approach.

One of the most compelling characters is Layla, a very troubled and emotionally scarred woman, who should be more integral to the plot and definitely deserves a sequel, with a story all to herself. My heart went out to her so much! ( )
