The sensuality and emotionality combine to give reader something that feels once in a lifetime in terms of reading love stories. You feel how the characters feel. You must hold on to this one.
In my opinion, Laura Florand is among the best Romance writers publishing today. I haven’t read a book by her yet that I have not adored.
I so enjoyed this character driven story that examines very closely how the dents (and sometimes out right trauma) of childhood play out in our adult lives and most particularly in our relationships. With the wonderful alternating point of view, we see the characters do what love and a great partner make us all do—grow and at the same time come more into our true selves.
Our hero is a seemly sunny have it all alpha kind of guy who is faced with his unrelenting admiration and crush on his intern and all the ethical dilemmas that ensue. Our heroine, is a Korean American (half anyway), born of an immigrant mother, with the drive to be good enough (meaning excellent) in a place where everything is very hard. They are both finely drawn and worth discovery. What I like most about Florand, I think, is that it is never the hero's or the heroine's book---it’s the couple's. A new space forged.
This romance runs parallel in time with The Chocolate Heart. I love it when a writer has the chops to do that. In makes the rereading of any series so much more pleasurable because it is like getting a new camera angle on your favorite moments.
The sugar work, romantic gestures, emotional bravery, retreats, lovemaking, and love saying are grand here.
I can’t wait until I have a little more time and I can reread the whole series. We are six books in and while I know the series will run its course—the rereading never will. These books will become comfort reads.
I highly recommend this series and this writer.

I really enjoyed it! There is great chemistry between the lead characters and the dialogue is snappy. New Zealand is a favorite setting of mine too!
I excited to keep reading this writer. The book hints that there will be more in the series. Yea!
The book is very good and deals with ADHD in the hero is a compelling way. I really liked the relationship between the couple. They were very much themselves and I always like that. The geek stuff was really fun.
It is a sexy book too.
The book kept itself from being a five star for me because it didn't have some of the depth it could have. I understand for some people why it is a two or three star book. For me it works well because It has a lot of troupes I like and is well written. However, the title is awful. The dirty talk in the book is fun and a good part of the plot but not in the way the title implies. The title is very Harlequin and while I really love some Harlequin books, this book could be more. I understand the heroine's self esteem issue are vital to this plot but I do long for a geek heroine who is not insecure.
Overall, I really liked it and can't wait for more in this series.
A copy of this book was given to me for my honest review.
