I didn't warm up to Phillip until about halfway through this book, and he irritated me to no end. Yes, yes, I'm sure I was supposed to feel sorry for him, but I didn't, not really. He's a grumpy jerk, and the way he treated people was horrendous. Until we start seeing him for who he really is.
Colby was slightly too perfect for my taste, though I liked his sense of humor, and how he wasn't willing to take Phillip's grumpiness seriously. He kept chipping away at the walls, and found the real guy within.
I liked this book. I liked the story, and I liked the plot. There were a tad too many misunderstandings, and the relationship seemed to take jumps forward, but it was a nice enough story to wile away a few hours. The setting in England was well done, and the writing followed the setting, with Colby being a bit rougher around the edges than Phillip. I enjoyed the snark and sarcasm, and Phillip's dry humor.
Definitely worth checking out.
