Kitty's review posted on Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 We met Jase, Beck and West in The One You Want as the mysterious strangers coming into Strawberry Valley to settle down. Now, we get to find out just who they are, what secrets they are hiding, and what made them the men they are today. As the past comes back to haunt Jase, his one saving grace is Brook Lynn. But, will she be able to heal the hurt, get him to trust and stop him from making a horrible mistake again? 
 Anger, it can get the best of us at the worst of times. Jase has a problem with it, especially when someone he loves is in danger or gets hurt. Flashbacks of his life, of his time in prison, have a hold on him. He can't relax, always looking over his shoulder ... he can't forget. Until Brook Lynn. She makes him laugh and the attraction scares him. But, realizing he can't have anything with her until she knows the truth, Jase does everything he can to push her away, especially when she asks for a commitment. With his past threatening everything he has worked so hard to move on from, only Brook Lynn can save him, bring him back from the abyss and make him enjoy life again. 
 As for Brook Lynn, yes, she had a wonderful childhood but it was cut short with the death of her parents. Her sister, Jessie Kay, blames herself for the death of her mother and is running wild through Strawberry Valley. It's up to her to be responsible, save her sister and try to make something for both of them. Until she walks in on Jessie Kay in bed with Jase ... there is just something about him that draws her in, calls to her. She will never sleep with someone her sister has been with but she can't stay away from him. Despondent, broke, Brook Lynn accepts as job as Jases assistant and can't keep her mind off of why she can't stay away from him. As the truth comes out, as the past becomes the future, as her feelings of Jase grow, Brook Lynn has no choice but to give in to the love she has for him and accept him, no matter the circumstances. 
 A little mystery, a little fun ... Gena Showalter again brings us a wonderful story about love, lust and acceptance. I always know that I can depend on this author to fill my reading time with a wonderful story. In The Closer You Come, Ms. Showalter takes a swing at bullying, at second chances. She brings us men with character and woman strong enough to stand up for what they want and go after it. The back-story of Jase, Beck and West is tragic and now we get to see how they make it through all the suffering and in one piece (maybe). Her writing is exciting and fluent ... the story is fluid and combines angst, fear, pain, love with style and grace. I'm looking forward to seeing Beck and West finally come into their own, find love, find the one woman that will complete them. It's going to be interesting to see how she brings them to their knees.
