This book was a major disappointment after the fun read of Mulry's debut. Instead of the first book's sexy romance, this time around we get a lot of sex but not much romance. The hero and heroine jump into bed together and spend 300 pages unable to keep their hands off each other. The hero acts like an ass several times, and shows very little character growth or remorse. The heroine goes from insecure virgin to sex goddess in the blink of an eye. I was charmed by the studious, series hero of Royal Pain but disgusted by this book's hero, who at the very end of the book is still unwilling to go public with the fact that he is actually smart and successful.

The head-hopping throughout the entire novel was very disconcerting and annoying as well. One second the POV is the hero, the next it's the heroine and a minute later it's a secondary character.

I'll probably still read the third book in the series to see what Mulry does with an American businessman and a British royal lesbian, but I think that is where Mulry and I will part ways.
