In brief, here's what I was looking for & what I got:

- Well written.

- The characters are mature, fully drawn, and likable. Montraine battles with his ordered life and rational nature; he has to set his need for love on the balance with his need for financial security. Margaret is self-contained, self-controlled, and good. She balances her future livelihood and reputation against her present desires. Neither has an easy choice, but they work through it.

- Lots of super awesome sex. I mean, creative, intense, and frequent.

- I love, love, loved the ending.
