Loved it. Great writing. Perfect pacing. Plot and character development was superb. The banter was hysterically funny. Sebastian is outrageous and a total ass at times but he's a good guy underneath the exterior. James was a great heroine - loved her confidence and her morality, and her strength to live by her beliefs even if she wanted to give in to him. The chemistry and sexual tension is sublime. The ending was a little rushed, but, apart from that one very minor complaint this was an excelle ...more

Loved loved loved. But I've got to say Sebastian was not too much of a douche. Not completely, and especially not when it came to Jameson. They were perfect.

Jameson and Sebastian are an interesting duo. Sebastian approaches Jameson at the library on a dare and quickly discovers that she is not falling for his charms. Sebastian is both intrigued and challenged, yet he's not a romancer. Jameson isn't easily seduced either and I thought she was a fun person, given the whole package of her outward geekiness, while being an athlete and had a snarky personality. In complete douchebag fashion, Sebastian tries to woo her in his own way, which is entertainin ...more
