Terrible. Ridiculous situation (seriously, all the women in an academic department share the same male escort???) and so much "I'm fat, no one will love me" stuff.

Why would the escort want to take a writing class as a barter for his skills? Would a PhD really not know what lascivious means? Would an escort choose pedantic as one of his favorite words?

I hated it.(less)

I'd probably have rated it higher if I was a woman since at its core its a romance novel. As a writer/screenwriter I enjoyed the concepts, though Act III for me was predictable in all ways. Well written overall, but not something I'd recommend for lovers of great story, unusual characters and twists.

An excellent story about learning to love yourself before being able to love others and of overcoming the baggage of childhood to do it. Perfect! Men--take notes. A must read!

Cute -- loved the setting of Wilmington, NC. The main setting, The Grounds, is a dream. Who wouldn't love to open a coffee shop with all it has to offer?
