I figured I could never come to feel about Flame as I did his black counterpart.

The humorous barbs between Nick and Allison start on the first page and don't let up until the last page of this delightful novel. Nick's secrets from the past have left him with a grudge against the upper class - Allison's belief that all men are liars, frauds, or fortune hunters, stems from the pain caused by a broken relationship.

She has very basic easy-to-relate-to relationships with her parents and friends and we are never asked to sympathize with hard-to-like characters.
