Isley's books can either be a hit or miss for me, and unfortunately, this one was a miss. However, one thing I always find to be true for her books is her highly engaging writing, even if I don't love the plot or characters. The pacing was perfect in this one, Rian and Josie are interesting enough characters, but I don't see how they fell in love with each other so madly (though part of me does, with their cute banter and interactions). Highly unrealistic to me that they both got stuck in an elevator together for ten hours. Even more unbelievable they are in a relationship in such an unsubtle way and yet never get caught with it. I know books aren't supposed to be realistic, but all of this was so farfetched. I was however intrigued by the character of Rian's ex-wife Billie. I might actually read a separate novel featuring her as a main character, because she stood out to me so much in whatever little appearances she had in this book. There's potential there.
