If you are into tattooed, bearded über-macho men who are hopeless at expressing their feelings in any other way than anger and violence, you'll probably enjoy this book. I'm not, so I didn't get knocked out by Knox. Also, I didn't much care for the co-dependent personality of Naomi either. This novel way too many clichés, stereotypes and drama for my liking. I read the first 240 pages or so, and then skipped to the end.
