"You are so wrong for me." Levi had to agree--he was. He was leaving Chicago in a few short weeks. He didn't do commitment--ever. But everything about this night, this girl, was so good. So right. Until at 11:59 p.m. she got out of his bed, got dressed and left What had he done? Things had hardly started and she was off Yet he was bored with simpering women he couldn't get rid of. Elise was a breath of fresh air. How was he going to find her...and get her back in his bed--for the whole night this time? It seemed Mr. Levi-and-Leave-Them might have found the one woman to leave him begging for more....
I haven't read much by Mira Lyn Kelly, but she did a nice job with this tale. The main characters, Levi & Elise, were interesting, driven, appealing. I appreciated the author's portrayal of Elise; she did not simper, she did not come across as weak or foster expectations that clearly were beyond what was offered. She didn't misunderstand the limitations Levi set on their relationship or set aside her goals and her needs. She maintained her integrity and her pride. Levi drew a hard line in the sand when it came to relationships; he was direct, he didn't lead Elise on or share emotions he was unsure of. I admired both characters and could easily relate to them. I was attracted to the manner in which each character seemed to evolve; re-evaluating their approach to relationships as their feelings for one another went beyond the physical, their ability to explore alternatives when their values, their former positions on issues, no longer served them or their relationship well. I recommend the book, and I look forward to the next in this 2 book series.
