My Review ... 

"My, oh my, Keeley Chambers. " She takes my hand and gives it a squeeze. "I hope Jude doesn't break your heart, because I do like you." 

Hmmm so I wanted to like this because it had loads of potential but it ended up falling flat for me. :( 

It had many aspects I wanted to like, a supposingly strong female, and alpha male, drama, angst and love.  However, Jude who was supposed to be an alpha male but he just didn't quite cut it for me. And then the strong female ended up with the very frustrating woe is me martyr storyline which just grates on my sometimes. 

There was drama and angst but it didn't jive together for me and I just couldn't quite fall in love with either Keeley or Jude.  

The idea was good, elements were cute, while other parts made me wanting more.  

If you are wanting a cute not too deep NA book than this could fit the bill for most but unfortunately just not for me. 

2.5 to 2.75 Wanted more thumbs up!
