Michelle Witvliet has created an unusual heroine in this book. You have Gwen, who has tried love three times yet failed because of the men. Now when she is close to finally get her happily ever after but something intervenes in her life. I loved that Joel just flabbergasted her in every way by his honesty, niceness and love towards her. Gwen is so funny in some way for the first time she is finding real love. This was a wonderful sequel to Damn the Man.
