6 Stars(Just an FYI I am about to get real gushy)Welcome to the riveting and delectable Casey Daniels ladies and gents..."I want a kiss," I told her quietly. "A kiss?" Grace said the word so loud she may as well have shouted it..."So how 'bout it?" "How 'bout it? Wow. What an irresistible offer." She tapped a finger against her lips, pretending to think about it. "But I'm going to have to decline." "Are you sure, Grace? Because I didn't say where I wanted to kiss you." I glanced meaningfully between her thighs before meeting her eyes. "And I'm good with my tongue."*Insert the I Volunteer meme...*Can we say sexy. as. f***. And this isn't even Casey at his best! Forget fanning yourself, I highly suggest sitting in front of a fan for this book.Casey lived up to every single expectation I had for him and then some! There truly is nothing like watching a broken, cocky bad boy with a side of vulnerability fall flat on his face when he meets his match. Casey Daniels is an enigma--a man of many layers. His character holds such a deep, rich depth. A depth Kate only teased us with in previous books. I believe by the end of his story Casey will be leaving behind a trail of damp panties and broken hearts. I seriously can't wait for everyone to experience him.I gotta be honest though, as much as I was dying for Casey's story, I was also nervous. Not because I doubted Kate would do him justice, but because I feared that his heroine wouldn't live up to my exceptionally high expectations. I feared I would hate her and she would ruin Casey for me. I was really freaked out as I have been obsessing over Casey Daniels (and when I say obsessing, I mean OBSESSING) from the moment I was introduced to him and Kate's writing at the beginning of last year. HE was the character who hooked me to this author's writing and had me coming back for more in Travis' book. My love for this man is crazy and knows no bounds. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't bring myself to imagine any chick being what I deemed Casey worthy. Seriously, in my mind there would never be a heroine who would ever earn my blessing to call "my man" her soul mate, and I didn't hesitate to let Kate know she could sure try but even her best wouldn't past the test.Um...holy hell did Kate and Grace make me eat my words. She shoved them down my throat with a take that bitch, you were saying...I struggled with Grace some in the beginning; however, she came out fighting hella fierce and made me fall so hard for her character. With each turn of the page, each passing chapter, she embedded herself in my heart. By the last word on the last page, I was more in love with Grace than Casey was. Our heroine is bold and sassy, but most of all she has an inner strength most of us only wish we could contain. Move on over Casey you got some hardcore competition, babe. Your girl has surpassed you in the badass category. Grace rocked my socks, landing herself the top spot for my all-time favorite book heroine. Be prepared to laugh and giggle with her, cry big snotty tears with her, break with her, and fall so hard in love with her that you'll wish she was real enough to be your bestie. Grace Paterson was PURE PERFECTION for our bad boy with a dark and heart breaking past.Casey and Grace never failed to captivate, entertain, and evoke a myriad of emotions. They were an exquisite combination of love, steaminess (omg. the. steam.), twists, heartache, friendship and adventure. This couple will have you giggling over their witty banter; fanning yourself over their teasing words, touches, and glances; grabbing your BOB or significant other; screaming at your e-reader; and so much more. Casey Daniels and Grace Paterson were an intense, crazy combination of heaven and hell.Kate McCarthy did it once again, showing me exactly why she sits high on the top of my favorite authors list. She is one author I do not need to read a blurb or synopsis for. I have no doubt that when I snag one of her books I will be in for one hell of a treat.Thank you, Kate McCarthy, for a complementary Beta Copy of Give Me Grace.
