Another great read from Elle Kennedy 
 I loved The Deal but I'm not really interested in reading The Mistake. I can't really explain it but books 1 & 3 sounded awesome so since they can be read as a stand alone, that's what I did. 
 Every single time I felt like the story was starting to drag or get uninteresting, BAM, something cool or crazy happens. NEEEVVER saw that (view spoiler)[death (hide spoiler)] coming. Like... Never. I was like *GASP*. For real I actually gasped out loud. 
 I really liked Ally. She was the perfect mixture of cool, confident and feminine. Even if she did have a dad that "boy-ed" her up some. She was perfect for Dean. (view spoiler)[AND I LOVE THAT DEAN SAID I LOVE YOU FIRST AND IT WAS SOOO SWEET (hide spoiler)] 
 Okay, so anyway, Dean is awesome and I was super happy to see him follow a dream he didn't even know he had. I was also excited when Ally's dad became accepting of Dean. It was such a man move, haha, all grunting and fierce. Cute. 
 Character growth was SO evident in these two.
