Rebound is a lovely blend of humor, love and passion.  Katrine is a newly single mom struggling to find her place in the world.  Not wanting to live off her ex-husband forever, she re-enters the workplace and meets her boss, Xander.  Xander is an arrogant jerk initially, unhappy with the fact that he was has been sent to Texas temporarily to work on an account for his father.As Katrine and Xander get to know each other, he finds it harder to keep up his unemotional and unpleasant tendencies.  When he comes to her rescue one evening with her ex-husband, they both feel the tides of their relationship turning.Katrine’s old friend, Ian has made it known he wants a romantic relationship with her.  But is jumping into a serious relationship really the best idea for a new divorcee?When Xander proposes a no strings, summer only relationship, Katrine jumps on board (no pun intended) and the two find they have a lot more in common than just sex.  When the summer ends, how will they deal with the fact that their summer fling got desperately out of control?  What will they do when they both acknowledge their temporary romance has turned into love?++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++I really enjoyed several aspects of this book.  Several parts are quite funny though it’s a dry humor and subtle.  Katrine is a sympathetic heroine and even though Xander is an ass initially, he redeems himself.  Ian is a sweetheart though he isn’t in the book much and the side characters are a lot of fun.The romance between Katrine and Xander is passionate and believable.  I found myself thinking, “Hey, this could happen in real life!”I don’t have any real criticisms other than the story drug along a little at times.  Thankfully, not enough to kill the storyline for me.We don’t get our HEA in this novel and things are left quite unresolved.  I can’t wait to read book two to see how these characters handle their lingering feelings for each other.  I highly recommend this and am about to pick up book two to see what happens!
