Worst book ever. The main characters can only either have sex or fight.

With all the fistfights and drunkenness the main character is involved in, there is no way he could be a successful businessman. He also has no tact whatsoever. I also cannot imagine a grown man unable to control his urges to this extent.

The other characters suffer from a painful lack of personality with a side of Mary Sue-ness.

Also, to read this you'll need to suspend all disbelief, because you'll see the most unprofessional nurse ever, who leaves in a bitchy fit every time the traumatized car crash victim he is nursing back to health makes a snarky comment. Yup, the nurse walks out on a recently disabled, very traumatized man he is paid to help because said disabled man says something rude.

Throw in absolutely no character building, the frequent use of the word "fag" and other assorted derogatory terms, plus the most bipolar protagonist possible, who alternatively craves and is disgusted by (and wants to pummel into a bloody pulp) another guy.

Brittany This review pretty much describes why I dropped this book 200 pages in. The romance wasn't believable.


message 2: by VsReadYs (new) - added it

VsReadYs I hardly give up on any book..but this was a exception and I dropped the book,
Agree with you on all aspects..
Matt was not even spared by his so called friends (They hardly had a problem with him when he was not injured),but they have no qualms in confronting an injured ,traumatized bed ridden person for his choices of words and reluctance of accepting facts - and walk out on him
