I LOVED this story!! I would give it more stars, if I could. It was so well-written, I re-read it immediately, lingering on the details. I loved the dark, edgy, REALLY bad boy anti-hero, who was definitely NOT perfect.  The heroine is beautiful, but that is not dwelled upon as much as her character: good, brave, valiant and proud, but stressed, lonely and tormented, too. The writing is extremely good, top notch. The characters are extremely well-defined and believeable, especially for such a short work.  The sex is steamy, sensual and actually necessary to the story.  The editing is extremely good; no typos, grammatical errors, misspellings, or missing/wrong words.
