Painted Faces
I think the unique characters are definitely the draw here, particularly Nicholas, but to me this seemed pretty much a lust thing, not tru-luv 4-evar. I just didn't buy the love story, or the HEA. The hilarious banter wasn't particularly hilarious, and the plot was a bit thin.
Reminded me of Fallen From Grace by Laura Leone, so I bet if you liked that you will love this.
