Review

This is a super charming contemporary romance with a wonderful smart self assured heroine and an uptight sexy as hell hero.

What makes this book grand is that it is funny and that there are real aches to each character as well as details that make them complex.

I believe in the love story.

The outside conflicts are well down with a bit of fantasy in the resolutions that is winning.

This is a sexy as hell book too.

There is a little dumb moment towards the end and a clinging to some ideas that hold the book back from being a five star but overall so very good!

Amy Morrison was amazing!!!  I totally loved her.  I also loved Dax's sister, Kat, and his family.  There were so close to perfect you wanted them to be your's, but had enough "family drama" that kept them real.  We even get to see the couple from book one a quite a few times (they do all work in the same building/floor).

Notice I haven't said much about Dax yet?  He was fun, he was great, but the other characters overshadowed him a bit.  He had a good reason for avoiding relationships - and it took him a looong time to get over it, but you could see him making progress the whole way through the book.  I really liked that part of him.  He was also amazingly spontaneous - there's a scene at a baseball game that made me completely fall in love with him.  I just wish he had shone more in the scenes that involved other strong characters.

They had an almost accidental romance.  They definitely weren't planning on one or looking for one - it just kind of showed up one day.  I loved how much fun the story was.  I was grinning through most of it just because everyone was having so much fun throughout the whole story.  Even the conflict was done in a way that you couldn't help but smile just a little because you just knew these characters could get through anything together.

*This book was received in exchange for an honest review*

"Well, you can't drink 1955 Glenfarclas with tap water." She shuddered--the impulse was real, but she exaggerated the effect. "Toronto water is terrible. It comes from the lake, for heaven's sake."

I bought this while browsing through ebooks after I saw that it was only $0.99. I have recently been looking for more romance books to read and this one caught my eye. I ended up staying staying up super late to start and finish this in one sitting. While I feel there was a certain depth lacking in the characters, I do feel that this was a fun and light little romp of a book.

While I did overall like Cassie and Jack, I didn't feel like they were as fleshed out as they could have been. They both seemed to have some pain in their past in regards to their families those storylines weren't as opened up as I would have liked them to be. You definitely get to see more of Cassie's pain than Jack's. I did like the chemistry between the two of them and loved some of those steamy scenes (especially the hot tub scene, which had actual steam in it). At times Cassie came across as a bit naive and she became a bit annoying when she was calling her behavior at the beginning 'slutty.'

I wasn't altogether sold on the drama towards the end, it felt kind of weak. I just wish something stronger would have happened. It felt like it was thrown in because there needed to be conflict. I did like the sweet ending though. Overall I felt this was enjoyable but at times I would have liked more substance.
