After I let myself 1) suspend my disbelief about how perfect Rafe is, and 2) let go of the ick factor thinking about how, if the gender roles were reversed this would be both boring and unappealing, I enjoyed this. I like how the author gives both of the characters backstory, historical personal growth, andtm ties with friends/family, even though, as with most contemporary romance, the book is short and has to dedicate a significant proportion of pages to spicy scenes.
