** spoiler alert ** Considering the intriguing premise and number of good reviews on Amazon, I was expecting to absolutely love this book. The shocker: I didn't. There were a number of issues with this book that I just couldn't get past.

First, Kendall and Cruise are supposed to possess jaded outlooks on love. I mean, the description claims Kendall is seeking to become the female version of a playboy. This is not so. Within the first few moments of meeting each other, both Kendall and Cruise decide they want to be with the other. Where's the struggle? Where's the angst? Also, Kendall's "playgirl" endeavor? A complete joke. I was expecting a kick-ass young woman with sass to spare. Instead I got naive young virgin. While I'm on the subject, I did not understand or appreciate the author's inclusion of Cruise's collar-play. It felt unnecessary and out of character and had no bearing on the story whatsoever.

Then, there was the style of writing. I couldn't get past it. Not only was the wording too abundant, but it was extremely fanciful and elaborate. Less would have been more.

However, I could have dealt with this language exaggeration if it were not for my complete lack of connection with either Kendall or Cruise. I just couldn't bring myself to care about them.
