I went into this book thinking that it wasn't going to be very good because a lot of readers have been disappointed but I wasn't. Not really. The story itself is interesting and even though there was a lot of eye rolling on my part at some of the things that the characters did and went through, I didn't hate the story.I would have liked more romance but even that didn't really ruin the story for me. I was riding right alongside that bike with Lizette and I was lusting after X right along with Lizette as well. This isn't one of Howard's best but it was still an enjoyable read.
