Bk #42--April Challenge: We spend much of the story with 2 heroes--Kevin and Gauge. Kevin is the shy silent type while Gauge is the loud instigator type. Both are equally important to the premise of the story (though I prefer Kevin).

Again both character types are necessary for the storyline, so they fit great. And I personally think Kevin is better fit for Nina. Kevin would absolutely suit me but Gauge never would--although I can't ever imagine myself in this type of position. I like the cover picture but I would have probably done it differently. But if I was casting this as a movie I'm thinking Gauge would be played by someone like Matthew McConaughey and Kevin by Alex O'Laughlin (aka Mick St. John). I think they have very similar builds which IMO is essential to the story.  

My thoughts: Not my favortie book. I just don't care for the whole "anonymous" sex even if it was only semi-anonymous. And I think Nina amplfied the problems by renigging on the bargain.

Back Cover Blurb: One-night-only anonymous sex with a stranger? Seems too wanton even for Nina Leonard. Until it's insinuated that the mystery man might be one of her business partners--two guys she adores who also happen to be complete hotties.

Out comes the blindfold, and Nina has the steamiest night of her life. Now she's got to have more--only, no one's fessing up.

One of her two best friends rocked her world that night. But which one was it?

If she guesses wrong, she could lose them both...
