review 1: There's something about the fumblings of first love and lust that is just ridiculously steamy to me. And this book has some great tidbits in it. I even enjoyed that while the characters were blind (helped along by lack of communication), it didn't take them FOREVER to figure things out. YAY! The end sequence where things got a lot more ....not exactly kinky, but it just seemed to come out of nowhere and didn't necessarily fit what we'd known of the characters. But whatevs, it was satisfying and had a great romance aspect, so works for me!
review 2: The idea of two men getting together in mutual desperation, wanting their very best friend and yet finding out they care so deeply for each other as well because of it, just made it for me.Cassie is a character ... morehurt and confused, returning to her home three years after she left her two best friends Alan and Kyle. She caught them 'together' one night and simply fled. On her return she runs into Kyle and - unexpectedly, while emotions run sky-high - sleeps with him. She does this not knowing that he and Alan are still together, and after she's forgotten that she, herself, is engaged to another man back in the city.The whole idea of cheating on a significant other - no matter WHO that is, or was - has never sat well with me. And yet this novel still attracts me because Alan and Kyle both have it in their head that whomever gets Cassie should take the chance and the other will 'fade into the sunset' which kind of answers the questions as to why Kyle doesn't exactly feel he's cheating on Alan with Cassie.That aside, the internal conflict with all three characters is well done, just angsty enough to create good conflict but without overdoing it. My only real complaint would have to be the final schmex scene; all of a sudden, insecure Cassie is ordering both men around. Didn't quite fit with the idea I had of her the whole rest of the novel. =/ less
