 After living through a tumultuous childhood watching her parents' marriage crash and burn, Frankie Cole has had a pretty negative view of of romantic relationships. It doesn't help that she now has absolutely no contact with her father, and her mother's reaction to the whole ordeal was to flit from relationship to relationship on a whim. In Frankie's mind relationships never last. 
 Matt Walker is Frankie's friend Paige's older brother. They've known each other since childhood, and Matt has had more than a glancing interest in Frankie for quite a while now. But as he sets out to finally make his feelings known, he realizes that maybe he doesn't know Frankie as well as he thought he did. As he starts to unravel the mystery that is Frankie, he begins to fully understand how deep her issues with relationship run. He's not going to give up on her though. He's just got to get her to trust him (and herself) enough to put her heart on the line. 
 As soon as Matt was introduced, I loved him. His steadfastness and patience where Frankie was concerned was really sweet and just what he needed to be. Because, honestly, Frankie's insecurities quickly turned from somewhat amusing / endearing to irritating pretty quickly for me. 
 I think it's because there was a lot of "telling" and not enough "showing" involved in the way Frankie's past was relayed. In doing this, I didn't really get that emotional connection to her story. But I also think it's a bit of a conundrum because I think had Sarah Morgan decided to show, not tell, the story would have been darker in tone, and that's not what this series is supposed to be. It's supposed to be light and sweet, which it is. But that lightness and sweetness doesn't really mesh with what happened to Frankie in the past. I think if there was a little more showing (possibly via flashback) I would have developed more of a connection with Frankie's plight and not gotten frustrated with her views more often than not. 
 But with that being said, overall, I liked where things headed for Frankie and Matt how they navigated around Frankie's hang-ups, comparing where she was at the beginning of the book to where she is at the end. 
 I went into this one, at first, not knowing it was book 2 in the series, but I had no problems what-so-ever picking this up and following along in the story. I enjoyed Frankie's best friends Paige and Eva. Paige's book Sleepless in Manhattan is one I'll definitely be looking into, and I'm very interested in seeing Eva get her Happily-Ever-After as she's the most romantic one in the group.
