There are three things you need to know about Elizabeth Finney: 1) She suffers from severe sarcastic syndrome, especially when she's unnerved, 2) No one unnerves her like Nico Manganiello, and 3) She knows how to knit.
Elizabeth Finney is almost always right about everything: the musical merits of boy bands are undervalued by society, "benefits" with human Ken dolls are better without friendship, and the sun has set on her once-in-a-lifetime chance for true love. But when Elizabeth's plans for benefits without friendship are disarmed by the irritatingly charismatic and chauvinistic Nico Manganiello- her former nemesis- she finds herself struggling to maintain the electric fence around her heart while avoiding electrocution or, worse, falling in love.

Devra Woodward managed to do a lot of different voices and accents. However, the accent she used for Nico, the male protagonist, is very annoying! He appeared before, in part two of the series, and was much better spoken there. I understand that he is an italo-american guy but I really don't see why someone with Italian parents, who was born and raised in America should have such a heavy Italian accent. Also, there was always this kind of arrogance in his voice which made it really hard to listen to him for any lenght of time.
A little disappointing.

What really bothered me, however, is the romanticizing of encroaching behavior - when the hero (Nico) is concerned, apparently "no" means "yes" - our heroine might not have figured out yet what she really wants, but he knows better. So he i.e. "kisses her lingeringly on the mouth" as a way of saying goodbye, even though they just said they were only going to be friends. But Nico, of course, knows that Elisabeth actually really wants him so he can just kiss her, right?! Ugh. Who does that? This kind of behavior is only ok, because it's the Hero of the story doing it. In any other circumstance we would call it what it is: sexual assault. But for Reid its romantic - poor Nico can't contain himself in Elisabeth's presence and needs to mark his territory in front of her male coworker. And Elisabeth, of course, says nothing and just "wants to stand there and touch her mouth all day". Wtf?! I can't even... it's too much for me. The whole book is full of overbearing male characters and doormat women, full of clichés and sexism. I had to stop at around 50%.
No. Just No. DNF. 50%
