I filed this book under "started but probably won't finish" partly because it was painful to drudge through, and partly because the hero is so very un-heroic. I don't know if he gets better and I don't really care, however I had all I could take with him salivating over the heroin while she's injured & near death, not to mention boarding the ship in a life & death situation and all he can think about is how hot she is.The title "Juvenile Attractions" might have been more accurate. Obviously a lot of people liked it, if those aren't fake reviews, but it is not for me.
