*~*~*Warning – If you haven’t read the previous volumes… stop here and go read them.*~*~*Mitigation just became my new favorite in the series. I’m going to predict that I’ll be giving the same statement for both Reparation and Affirmation once they’re out though! It’s really no surprise to me that Mitigation hit the Amazon’s bestseller list the day after it went live! This series is incredibly addicting and you can’t really help feeling a little needy and greedy! I really do drop whatever I’m doing the second I get one and start reading!In Mitigation, we get to see a deeper side of Matt. Violation left off with Matt showing up at the hospital where Mac’s mother is in critical condition. Aww… did you melt a little? I know I did! It picks back up right where it left off and we get to see Matt be comforting, sweet, and caring. He helps Mac through, what I imagine to be, one of the most painful things a person can experience. In the words of Mac:"I think my last thought before I went to bed was that if Matt treated me like this all the time, I’d probably fall head over heels in love with him."Me too, Mac!! Me too! Matt, being Matt, doesn't continue to treat her like that though. Once they’re back home, he reverts back to his “just sex” policy and keeps her at arm’s length. Matt. Connover. Is. So. Freaking. Frustrating! I went back and forth between wanting to hug him… and wanting to kick him in the balls! Sometimes I wanted to do both at the same time! He’s letting fear of being hurt again dictate how he handles his feelings for Mac.Mac finally decides that she’s had enough. Matt either needs to man up and give her a real relationship, or she’s done. I’m sure you can imagine how Matt reacts to that. In true Matt Connover fashion… Like. A. Jerk! Mac is getting to him, but can he handle it? Can he leave the past behind him and put his heart on the line? Or will he fortify the walls he’s built around himself and continue to push her away? I love Mac and was so happy to see her stay strong and not give in to his seduction attempts. I love you, Matt, but it’s time to step up!Crossing my fingers that the next 2 weeks go by fast!!
