After reading this book, I realize that I do not like books written from the male perspective when that male is a sexist womanizer.

Andrew narrates this story, and when we first meet him he is a major player. He never sleeps with the same woman more than once, and he does not do relationships. He is unapologetic about his womanizing ways. He meets Kate and decides immediately that he wants her. She is engaged, but that does not matter to him. He pursues her anyway. He basically sexually harrasses her at work knowing that he can get away with it because he is the boss's son. He refuses to take no for an answer and justifies it to himself by saying that women want to be pursued and wooed. I just cannot tolerate a character like this.

There are steamy scenes, but for me they are too crass. I actually find it hard to believe a woman wrote them. But then maybe they are just not to my taste.

Overall, I did not enjoy this book. The narrator was unlikable, and I could not root for him. I do not recommend this book.
