New to this...
I don't know how they do it. I had forgotten who Luke was from the prior books, and was utterly charmed with him. He was no baggage, his character was woman-centric (even if hung out with piggy water polo players) I really got his appeal. London was at times reserved beyond reason - though it was believable - at times it was frustrating because I didn't believe she'd be motivated by what her friends thought, as an example. The chemistry in the book was explosive, and it certainly made me LOL at times.
