Great Dane by Dee Brice

Great Dane is the story of a never ending love between Jennifer Martin and Dane Derrick Davidson, whose nickname is Great Dane. Dane was Jennifer's first boyfriend/sex partner, and is ten years older than her. Dane comes back in the hopes of winning Jennifer back into his arms and his bed.
All the female cheerleaders and the basketball team called him Great Dane. And they weren’t referring to his prowess on the court. Jennifer Martin didn’t care about his playboy reputation. On her eighteenth birthday, she gave her love and virginity to Dane Derrick Davidson. After a summer of hot sex, he broke her heart, leaving without even saying goodbye. Ten years later, he’s back for her birthday.
When he was twenty-five, Dane knew he had no right to seduce his best friend’s younger sister. But he selfishly wanted her first time to be with him. He knew he had to leave her, let her grow up and decide from a more mature perspective whether he was more than a teenage crush. Now he’s back, determined to rekindle her love for him—even if he has to tie her to his bed and feed her all her favorite fruits to convince her.
Does he want another summer of sex? Or this time will he stay forever?
Jennifer is now 28 years old and doesn't seem to be excited that her first love is back. She tries to get him out of her mind, but nothing seems to work. She remembers him taking her those many years ago and the fun that they had in that. Dane on the other hand has been bidding his time hoping to reconnect with Jennifer.

I found Great Dane to be dull, it seemed really slow, and I feel that the characters could have been better developed. In the first part of the Great Dane, it deals with having dinner at Jennifer's brothers house, and from there escalates. All Jennifer can think about is sex, and all Dane can think about is getting Jennifer back into bed.

Overall, I don't care for Great Dane, it seemed so rushed and hurried. I think the author could have done more for Great Dane, like another love interest or something to ignite the plot.
