![]() ![]() Okay, so the good news is the books leading man isn’t actually a pedophilic slime-bag – the bad news is, Phillips introduction of Dan Calebow is so grotesque that it colors his character for the rest of the book. It’s actually his ex-wife, Valerie, who he divorced last year but still engages in these sexual fantasies with while the two are between partners. And then it’s revealed that this girl isn’t actually 16, or a stranger to Dan. I continued to feel queasy as Dan proceeded to have sex with this sixteen-year-old girl, and Phillips details the encounter for three pages or so…. At this point I was feeling pretty much sick to my stomach. At this gas station is a 16-year-old girl wearing a short skirt and football jersey – she comes on pretty hard to the infamous Dan Calebow and he agrees to follow her home, since her parents are away. We first meet Dan on his way home from a black-tie event, as he stops in at a gas station. ![]() Phillips has written what is quite possibly the worst introduction of a romantic hero in the history of contemporary romance. ![]()
