Although there are still elements of romance, one of the nicest things about this book is that there isn’t a clear Good Guy / Bad Boy triangle. Steven is pretty honest about his feelings for Anabelle, he enjoys her company, with and without clothes, even if he doesn’t particularly want a girlfriend. This historian, academic, and flirt was exactly the kind of guy I wanted to have a beer with, but I wanted better for Anabelle.
And Luke? Anabelle could see his tortured bad-boy persona miles away, but she still seemed to have a special sympathy for his problems. Again, I wanted better for Anabelle, she deserves someone great, but I did like how focusing on Luke and her new job helped her begin to move past her problems.
This is the first of a series, so not everything was resolved. I really enjoyed meeting these characters so I look forward to Anabelle’s next steps in the next book!
