This was an awesome continuation to the Dare Me series! I loved Lacey and Galen in Down for the Count, so I was very anxious to get my hands on this second installment.  Christine Bell has impressed me yet again with her memorable characters that have smoking-hot chemistry, and a heartwarming love story that I very much enjoyed!First of all, can I just say that Shane Decker had me at "Mary Catherine"??!! Good lord this man was just hotness personified, with the tender sweet knight in shining armor to go along with it! He had me weak at the knees from the get-go, I'm not ashamed to admit it.  The fact that Cat has had his heart for so long and he's now determined to prove he's worth falling for?  Ummm, yes please!!  The only problem for him was Cat's stubborn side that never seems to have an off switch.  She's hung up on Shane's overprotective ways from when they were younger, and that night he denied her so many years ago.  She is determined to stay single and uninhibited by love and romance, so she figures she'll just get Shane out of her system and it'll all be over.  Can we say DENIAL?  Thankfully, a little jealousy can go a long way when it comes to the heart, and Shane has been handed the perfect opportunity.As Cat started to realize how strongly she felt for Shane but still pushed him away, I wanted to slap some sense into the woman.  She had her reasons, though, and despite how frustrated I was with her I could understand why she was so hesitant given what an independent, strong-willed person she was.  The push-and-pull she and Shane go through made for some really intense, hot sexual tension that is sure to get your heart racing, and I couldn't tear myself away! And there were some heart-wrenching moments that showed just how deeply Cat's feelings truly went, and it was easy to forgive her stubbornness in the end.  I just loved her and Shane's story, and this series is a definite must-read!!
