I absolutely LOVED this book! I haven't read something that pulled me in as much as this one since 
 . This book had it all, a multi-dimensional heroine, an alpha male that you couldn't help but to love (as well as lust after), family tragedy, awesome, funny and witty secondary characters, panic attacks, romance and hot, hot sex! I am extremely impressed by this author. This is the first book I have read of hers, and the fact that she is self-published is very impressive. I have read (and loved) a lot of indie authors, but they usually suffer the same problem of a need for serious editing. This book. Not at all. I would not have wanted one word cut from it. The writing was funny, witty, sexy. It had me in tears and laughing out loud (where my husband would ask me to share - but he just wouldn't get it :) Some of the dialogue was awesome, and made me just gush over these characters. Here's a taste: 
 "Why the hell did he have to be the human version of a sexually charged nuclear weapon.?" 
 "'I would say it was nice to meet you, but I was naked so...it wasn't.'" 
 "'F*&%, Jocelyn.' I looked up and found his gaze blazing even brighter than before. 'If you keep looking at me like that, this is going to be over far sooner than I'd like.' 
 Hmm. I liked that. I liked that I had power over him. 'Well, we can't have that.'" 
 "'Babe, nice lingerie is for seducing a man. I'm already fucking seduced.'" 
 "'Do you know what it's been like for me since that day in the flat? Sitting across from you in bars, at dinner, knowing that underneath all the attitude is every man's fucking fantasy.' 
 Oh, he was good." 
 "'You.' She pointed at me indignantly. 'You're seriously hot, Joss. Okay, you don't look like the pretty coat hangers Braden usually goes for, but you have those amazing eyes, that throaty sex-phone voice, a cup-size I'd die for, and this broody standoffishness that's completely at odds with the seriously cool and funny person you are. Believe me, I've heard the guys talking. You're different and guys being guys, they can't help seeing that as a challenge. You're hot.'" 
 OK gals,, pick this one up. You will NOT be sorry!
