This book just wasn't for me, and I'm really sad about it because I'd heard nothing but good things. I totally appreciate what the author was trying to do with the sentiment that just because someone is chronically ill doesn't make them any less desirable or mean they can't experience life and pleasure and I actually really liked that aspect of the novel along with the representation of a man recovering from abuse and that's the main reason I'm even giving it two stars but on a whole, it just didn't work for me. I found the development lacklustre, they hated each other for about ten seconds before they were both attracted to each other and I just wanted more buildup (or just have them not hate each other at all that works too) and it was just a little too steamy for my personal tastes. Romance novels are such a personal thing, and I totally appreciate why so many people love this book, but it just didn't work for me!
