I enjoyed this novel simply because it was different. The heroine was certainly not a doormat! It starts when Slade sees Bronwen in the hospital and feels utterly shocked because she was actually alive after an accident. He is her brother's best friend and she has known him for a long time but didn't see much of him the recent years. To her utter dismay, he decides to protect her from herself and her furry temper which frustrates her to no ends because her temper seems her only protection against her attraction to him. LOL
