Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 28, 2014
This was the first of L.P. Dover's book that I have read and enjoyed every minute of this book.The story centers around Claire who owns a vineyard that her family left to her and Mason now a cop who used to be a fighter. Claire had been carrying a secret crush on Mason for a awhile and when one night of passion between these two ignited Mason decides that a relationship is not for him. What?Well as it so happens the story starts out that way so there is no boy meets girl, boy chases girl, boy sleeps with girl, then boy screws up with girl... etc. etc. That's what was great about this book, the author brings you right into Clarie driving Mason to the airport after the night of passion that they had only to have Claire determine never feel anything for Mason again.Claire knows how Mason feels and as she is driving it takes all she has not to beat the crap out of him. Of course Mason feels bad that he has hurt Claire but you know how it is.. yeah we all do. A few months later after Claire has started a relationship with an old flame Cooper (who I may say was hot also!)Mason comes back home to see his cousin Melissa who is Claire's best friend and decides that he has to tell Claire how he feels about her. Claire is torn between the man that she truly loves and the man that she is safe with.Mason also comes home to tell his cousin about a case that he is going to be workinig on involving a good friend of his that he used to know when he was fighting. His friend was murdered and his wife is missing so Mason accepts the case not knowing that Claire is also going to be helping Mason with this case not to his liking. Claire reads the letter that Mason left with his cousin Melissa and follows Mason to Vegas.The story is told from each of Mason and Claire's POV and there are twist and turns, suspense,and hot hot sex/romance scenes what else could you ask for in a book.Even though this book is part of a series it can be read as a stand alone. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series.I received and ARC from the author for an honest review.
