![]() The fact that she envisions them marrying one day does not contribute to her relationship with Mal, and his jealousy is childish and irritating. To begin with, Anne has a crush on her manwhore boss, who views her as nothing more than a back-up plan when his latest flame is unavailable. Mal and Anne's romance is also lackluster. She has zero backbone and this does not improve as the story progresses. She allows every person in her life from her roommate, to her boss, to her younger sister, to Mal walk all over her. While the basic premise involving an arranged relationship between Stage Dive drummer, Mal Ericson, and Ev's former neighbor, Anne Rollins, has potential, Mal's obnoxious and stalkerish behavior is unacceptable. Mal's character in book #1 was particularly appealing, and yet his own story is actually disastrous mainly due to his overblown manic personality as well as the heroine's doormat tendencies. ![]() Unfortunately, this follow-up to Lick is very disappointing. ![]()
