I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I thought it was a cute romantic book.  I thought the sexual scenes could have been left out and still not hurt the integrity of the book's story line.  I would not reccomend this to young readers for that very reason.  It was predictable as to what was going to happen next.  It was a good read but not outstanding.

It kept me interested and I enjoyed it, but it wasn't really a unique storyline or overly compelling. the characters were generalized and I wasn't overly invested in their situation.  But, a nice light, easy read.

It was good, but I didn't think it was up to the standards of some of his other works .But for sure it was an enjoyable read.

It was a good easy-to-read book but not much depth to it and it didn't seem very realistic.

Having lived most of my life in North Carolina it was interesting and somewhat amusing to read how the author portrayed the locations and people of his story.  He started with an interesting and unusual storyline and told it reasonably entertaining.  But, there were parts that seemed somewhat disjointed and perhaps rushed through.  It will not be the best book that you read this year, but it will be far from the worst.

I wavered about what to rate this book, simply because while it was a fine read for what it was, I didn't really feel confident that I'd remember it later.

Several of the characters did have some interesting quirks that made them more than just archetypes, and I enjoyed them for that--but they began as archetypes nonetheless. So while on the one hand there were some things about the corporate character that made him multidimensional in ways I appreciated and enjoyed, such as his feelings for the various people in his life, I also certainly didn't feel like he was someone new I'd never met before.

As others have mentioned, it's Joe that gets fleshed out the least here. We see him do a lot of cool things, but by and large they're exactly the things you'd expect a similarly positioned character in another novel to do.

So overall, I feel it's a three, because we get solid material, but not in a way that makes the book stand out as different than anything else or makes it stick in the mind.

It was a good story line. Maybe I've read too many books in this genre but I expected everything that happened. There were no surprises for me in this one. I do appreciate though that it has clean language and no graphic violence which so many of my favorite authors are going to. All in all a good read but not a great read.

I enjoyed this read. The characters were well written although there were several plot twists that were unnecessary and dragged the story rather than added to it.

It dragged on a bit in the middle but only for a short time. In summary it was a good read.

I found this book entertaining and a good read but found it lacking in some ways. Especially how it ended.

It's a fun read, but I didn't love it or have any strong feelings about it. The main character can, at times, be a little unlikeable, but I don't see this as a flaw. Most of my favorite characters, just like most of my favorite people, are imperfect. It just feels like the book needed more of something.

I thought it was a very good read although it did not grab me as some books where you just cannot put them down. I think it could of used a little more filling out.
