Hi Joanne - I needed a book set in Connecticut fir a challenge - and I think this is not a standalone.

This is part of the 50 States of Love series. Each book is a complete standalone and can be read in any order.

Handy to know about this series for a 50 States challenge, though.

How graphic was the sex? .
