Mr. Weston, the character, did his best to make sure no one liked him. That was part of his charm. Gillian had to really read between the lines to find something tolerable about him, but their shared carnal appetite kept them tolerating one another.
Their first rendezvous after meeting at a party is one of the best “one night stand” encounters I can remember reading. It certainly highlighted the kind of “crazy” that enabled Gillian to see the qualities Jake had that were not immediately apparent.
Once Jake’s secrets start taking shape, you’ll realize how more there is to this book than just the romance. There are quite a few twists that hit a high mark for creativity.
The only thing I did not like was the nonlinear timeline for the story. Not only was it not linear, it also jumped around through time in a way that led to confusion rather than clarity. Don’t let that put you off from what is otherwise a really good book.
