If the latter half of this book had continued to be as exciting as the first, this might have been one of my all time favorites. The banter between Sophie and King is top notch, she's not afraid to do her own thing and/or give him a piece of her mind in the process and the angst factor was pretty good. However, once we get to our destination at about the 70% mark or so, the rest of the story just drags and takes some really frustrating turns. Absolutely bonkers premise though, just a tedious finish.

 I loved this book. The summary doesn't do it any kind of justice, but it's such a whirlwind that it's understandable. This book broke my heart and re-pieced it back together several times. Fake marriage, hurt/comfort, annoyances to lovers, an "ambiguous" (but totally obvious) bisexual male lead -- this book has it all. I ended up having to sit in a parking lot to finish reading this book cause I couldn't put it down. And the sexy scenes? WHEW. That's some spicy stuff right there. This woman knows what her readers want.
