See the full review (and my blog mate, Celeste's review) at The Book Hookup!! 
 This book has it all...some mystery, some twists and turns, some romance and some heart-stopping shmexy times!! It also has some wonderful characters (including a few from Ms. Ryan's previous books) and some seriously hot chemistry!! My gosh but Sam Bradshaw is one sexy, dirty-talking, heart-stopping book boyfriend. He had me from the very first page and the fact that he has a heart of gold certainly didn't hurt his cause. His desire to have Liz in his life, and the fear that brings him, kept me glued to the pages wanting to know what he'd do next. 
 I loved Liz's willingness to step outside her comfort zone but felt for her she when her heart was broken. As a matter of fact, when Sam and Liz were apart, my heart broke for them. But, my oh my, when they were together, the sizzle was deafening!! Once again Ms. Ryan has taken a fairly simple story and ratcheted up the mystery and the heat...making it impossible for me to put this book down. I know I just called this a simple story but, in reality, it was only simple in concept. The execution was flawless. The author had me believing one thing, then changing my mind and then, seconds before she revealed the truth, she gave me enough clues to allow me to guess it. I felt both shocked and elated and disappointed in myself...she'd managed to keep me in the dark for far too long!! 
 But, seriously, I devoured this story just as I did Mr. Ryan's Here and Now series and I can't wait for the next book. Beware, there's a bit of a cliffhanger here. But since the next book will be out in March, we're not left to suffer for too long. So, would I recommend it?!? Absolutely!! Do yourself a favour and read both the prequel novella as well as this book before the next one comes out. Trust me, you won't be sorry. But...hey...I don't think I'm willing to share Sam with you so please remember that as you read and don't get too attached!! ;)
