CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

I’ve read books by Rita Mae that I loved, books I enjoyed, and sadly a couple that were ‘meh’… I hope this one is terrific and you love it!

Vic is a senior student at a university in the Southern USA. She's dating Charly, the star football player. As the book opens, Chris transfers in from Vermont. This sets up a love triangle which goes on for... the rest of the book.

Actually, I think I'd have been less irritated by the cheating if the characters had been written more strongly. Charly was something of a cardboard cutout, and Chris didn't seem to have much of a personality at all. Vic made Hamlet look decisive, and spent most of the book stringing both Chris and Charly along until compelled by developments to make a decision. Between Chris's reluctance to confront Vic and Charly's obliviousness, Chekhov's gun stayed put on the mantelpiece and went off with a damp *phut* in the last chapter.

Also, a large proportion of the action took place at Vic's home, which allowed for a few lovely bits of description on the one hand, and some deeply unfunny supporting characters on the other.

Arrived yesterday at the decoy's address, thank you very much. Teddyke says it looks very interesting and she started to read it already (that's why the JE comes only today...)

Read the book during my free days.
Was not bad, but some parts felt a bit like the writer needed extra words to get to her promised amount.
I would have liked it better without the 'epilogue " for sure, wondering why the writer thinks gay persons cannot stick to the one person they love as their permanent partner ...
