Oh Liz Reinhardt, how I love thee.I don't know how she puts out so many books with such different and complex characters but she does. And I'm thankful for it. Because there is nothing better than reading an amazing book.Liz gave enough background details that technically you could read this book without reading the 1st one (Fall Guy), but why would you want to? :) Winch and Evan's story is delicious and it's more than worth a read! I would highly recommend reading it 1st. This book will mean even more to you if you do.It just happens that recently I've read a lot of books about manwhores who meet their gamechangers. It's not that I don't like those, I do, it's just that this book was a BIG old breath of fresh air in the midst of those (fresh air I needed!). The thing you notice first about Cormac is his brains... but that doesn't mean he has no brawn. He's just fortunate enough to have both.  Oh and add in quick wit and some hilarious British-esque humor and you start to see why this book is 5 star worthy. :) I pictured him as a younger, stronger, hotter Hugh Grant.... you picture him how ever your swooning little heart desires. ;)I don't remember being a huge Benelli fan from Fall Guy, but I love her now! She is such a strong and independent character to begin with, but then to see what she becomes during the journey of this story (when her strength is truly tested) is hope inducing. I loved watching her unveil her family's drama, seeing it from a different angle, and then choosing what she thinks is best.I can't wait to read the next one! And I hope we get to see Lala's story somewhow. Funny how I disliked her in Fall Guy but want so desperately to see the best for her now. That's an amazing author for you- one who can change your mind completely within just a few pages.Liz most definitely has a way with words- and you will want to eat them up!! Her writing is smart, her characters dynamic, her banter witty, and the passion she can write between two characters? Blazing hot.Most definitely add this to your reading list!! I loved everything about it- from that adorable cover to the very last sentence. And every drop of yumminess in between. I even loved the Odysseus references. Which speaks volumes considering i didn't like studying Greek Mythology in school. And yet all of the sudden I find myself wanting to read it. ;)
