Some hearts only want what they can’t have…   Libby Prentiss is ready to simply be herself. After half a lifetime rebelling against her privileged family’s expectations, she hopes her biological research trip to New Zealand will cut the cord for good.   It doesn’t take long to spot the hopelessly amateurish spy her overprotective father has hired to keep an eye on her. Fortunately, Reece Nolan’s desperation to save his family’s pub makes it all too easy to convince him to turn double-agent. Yet there’s something different about him. His icy reserve sets her on fire…and ignites a secret yearning to let him see the mass of insecurities she hides behind her provocative persona.   Where Reece is a glacier of cool self-control, his brother Colin is a hot-blooded, unpredictable volcano. Libby’s instant friendship with Colin is more satisfying than anything she’s ever known-and traps her in completely foreign territory. She’s caught between one man determined to hold her at arm’s length, and another who offers her the intense connection she’s worked so hard to avoid.   Something’s got to give or the fallout could tear them all apart…and put the Nolan family’s future in serious jeopardy.   Warning: Contains an emotional love triangle guaranteed to launch your heart into your throat.… (mais)

I'll write a full review later. Pros and cons for now.

Pros:
- Delightfully insane heroine
- Not set in small-town America, or America at all for that matter
- A love triangle that neither shows its cards too early nor makes me sad for the one left out
- Fabulous, rich characterization
- Great exploration of sexuality in all of its weird messyness
- A scarred and tatooed bike courier who can sing Tom Jones like nobody's business

Cons:
- The fabulous character study was cheapened a bit by the book's use of a bunch of genre cliches. The heroine's only had sex once, at 16, which resulted in a pregnancy, forced abortion, and commitment to a mental facility after a sucicidal episode. Lord save me from tragic near-virgins in romance. Also, she's from a blue blood New England family with a control freak dad straight out of central casting.
- Colin never sings It's Not Unusual during any of the karaoke scenes. Inexcusable. ( )
