"Crossed Wires by Jeff Somers & Stephen Blackmore
This was a decent enough story. I think I liked the feel of Blackmoore's characters and magic a little better but neither have me bursting to rush out to buy the first books in either series as both feel like typical male written UF stuff. I might give Somer's Avery Cates series a go as the premise of that one sounds a lot more exciting.

“Thorne glared at him. "Whatever, Doctor. It's just, when Cress thought she was in love with me, she was actually in love with this other guy she'd made up in her head, who was brave and selfless and stuff. I mean, he was a real catch, so who could blame her? Even I liked that guy. I kind of wish I was that guy." He shrugged.
