In this delightful second book of the Sapphire Falls series, we are treated to the story of Phoebe and Joe. Phoebe has been in love with Matt forever, and now he's gone and fallen in love with Nadia. Joe has always thought that Nadia would marry him and he's come to Sapphire Falls from the big city to get her back. Together Phoebe and Joe plan a way to break up the couple and reclaim their rightful spouses to be. There's only one problem - the way they start to feel about each other in the process.There is nothing like an Erin Nicholas book to brighten up someone's day with it's combination of humour, sex and romance and this one is certainly no exception. From the very first page, I was entranced by Phoebe. She's feisty, she's fun, she's attractive and she speaks her mind in all circumstances (whether wise or not). Her determination to get Matt back by making Joe over to fit into the new Sapphire Falls lifestyle Nadia has fallen in love with backfires, but with such sweet results that one can't help but fall in love with Joe too. Joe is a dream man for many women - smart, sophisticated, handsome, rich and he knows it. He's played the field for many years, always with the expectation that Nadia will be his eventually. Learning that she's about to become engaged to someone else has him all tied up in knots - except that Phoebe somehow makes all those knots unravel for him until all he can think of is her and how much of an ass Matt is for never appreciating the woman who was before him. Together they go off like fireworks and the reader can only laugh and shake their head in amusement at the antics of the two together. Secondary characters play an important role in the story, part of the background of the town that adds to the humor of the situations and the life of the novel. All the quirks, positive and negative of small town life are displayed to full advantage and the overall tone of the story is a fun, lighthearted read that will have you wanting to visit this place, or at the very least, waiting anxiously for the next romance in the series. 5 delightful stars!
