This book started out just a tad slow, but still enough to keep my attention. I agree with other reviewers did some characters Appeared one-dimensional - namely the heroine's sister. Further, later actions and thoughts of the heroine with regard to her sister - after a middle of the book climax, I found a little hard to believe. But aside from having to suspend amounted For Those few actions and thoughts, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. There was little mincing of words once "love" which discovered, and the sensual portions of the book were just that - very sensual. Ms. Small is quietly one of my favorites.
