Mel has patience of steel!So I'm not 100% sure how I felt about Mel. Did she bother me sometimes? Yeah, she did. Did I want to slap some sense into her? Yuppers. Do I love John Boy? Yes, of course. Did I want to punch him sometimes? Yup. Did I want to rip that loin cloth right off of him? Most definitely.But, hey that's just Magan Vernon and her awesome plot, writing style, and characters. This is the same author who wants to write Caveman erotica...and I'd probably read it. I really enjoyed The Only Exception and I like it when series continue on with different characters of the same world and setting. But, John Boy was a whole new level for me. He is sex on a stick and I have no clue how Mel cold handle it. There was some serious things and events that come up in Mel's life, and I'm not gonna lie--It got me thinking. Magan Vernon manages to bring up serious subjects and mixes it with sexy men...in loin clothes. I can't deny that I would immediately run to any party that John Boy is in attendance of. Damn, I just got side-tracked by John Boy again. That's bound to happen. Anyhow, Mel has to get her life together and learn about the things that are important in life, but she stuck with her old habits and afraid because of her past. Luckily she has John Boy around, as well as some familiar faces, to help her get on track! Oh, and did I mention that this boy has a tattoo that references a major children's novel? That is my kind of guy.Good:John Boy- Because he's John BoyMel- She kind of reminds me of...me. All focus on school and some lack of partying during our college years.Bad:John Boy's loin cloth- Because it stayed in place.Sometimes I didn't really like Mel. Sorry, but it's true.Overall (Writing style, story line, and general):Overall the story was emotional and an awesome read. The opening scene is pretty gripping and from there I couldn't put it down. The story was easy to follow and I never had to stop and re-read unless it was the Halloween Party scene...then I just liked to read about John Boy in a loin cloth. The book was seductive in multiple ways, just like all of Magan Vernon's characters are, and if she wishes to write more stories with these characters or in this world...I wouldn't oppose at all.This book was provided courtesy of the author/publisher for review; however, this is no way affected my review.
