I read this book too many years ago to remember when. I just happen to start thinking about it and chance to run into the book I thought it was two weeks later so I bought it. Not remembering if I every read one of her books. I read a different book. Kind of liked her style so decided to see what else she had. I really liked the story. It is kind of short, so not as much character development as you would like, however with Nevada not wanting to hurt Eden, and not being able to fight his feelings to be with her I can understand why it was short. She may have had to wrap up the series quickly also, as I do not see a book on Utah. I have not read the other books in the series, but will do that soon. I usually do not read modern day romances as I am just not into rich business playboy type guys, or military guys. If I do read them I like the more every day type of people. I also usually stay away from short novels. I usually like at least 300 pages. Usually I like 350 - 400 paged books, because there is not enough story development in the books and I usually feel a little cheated.
I do want to say that there is not a 100 page sex scene like someone stated. That would be hard to do and to read. Maybe they meant 10. I didn't count. A lot of it was more sensual touching than the other part. There are only two scenes. One is longer than the other. As far as the story goes in this day and age it would be hard to believe that Eden is a virgin. She has had tragedy in her life, but she's a live for each moment type of person. Nevada has been in Afghanistan and learned to seal off all his emotions. The only time he lets his guard down is for his nieces and nephews. He knows that from the beginning Eden is the love type of person, and he tells her several times he does not believe in love. He also tells her he wants her so stay away from him. So he stays away from her as much as possible, because he can't trust himself. When he does give in twice, he makes sure she knows this is nothing but sex to him, do not expect anything else, before it happens. He does not want to hurt her, but is afraid it will happen anyway. After each time he walks off, mad about the fact that he slipped, and doesn't come back unless forced to, or at all. Unfortunately Eden thinks she can heal him so she gives herself to him away. Letting him know she loves him both times. I liked the book, but as usual it is not for everyone. I do not mind books where the man has a tortured soul, as long as he is redeemable. Though some people look at him as being mean. That is not really the case. He just states it as he sees it, and tries to stay distant and remote.
