I want to say I've read Bradley before and I've liked her, but I can't recall. I will say this book was passably boring; that is to say I only got 40 percent into it before finally giving up. I realized early on that each scene takes up pages of the book at a time, and the timeline is day by day instead of over time. It's dreadfully boring to read every single step the character's take! Leave SOMETHING for the imagination.
And there is no major conflict...not at the point that I left the book, which was almost halfway. All the characters were nice! There was no villain, except maybe a pissed-off x mistress. But even then..it's nothing.

The sexual tension was meh too. But it was there, just not hot enough for me.

#2 in the Drop Dead Dukes series is a bummer because looking at her website, I did read the first one in this series and I think I liked it so much more than this book.
