Guys are delicious when they are real! And that happens when the guy's weakness is shown, that way he doesn't look like a romance Cliche. The guy in the book is an engineer caught in a crime crossfire with a pretty financial analyst.Now it turns out that the crimnal while terrorizing them was indirectly getting those two together...I read The Polar Pact before I read Stir, and was already a fan, so she gets a five.
