The second book in Mari Carr's Second Chances series, Full Moon had me completely intrigued.  I mean, how can you NOT be intrigued when a woman has a "Howl List?"  What's a Howl List you ask?  It's a list of twelve sexual fantasies to be lived out during a full moon throughout the year.  Come on, how many of you are pulling up Word right now and beginning your own list?Josie is a single mom to a precious 6 year old boy.  She works full time in retail and then comes home to be the best Mom she can be to her son.  Despite the fact that her ex-husband is a cheating scumbag, she'll be the first to admit he's a good father and she won't do anything to ruin his relationship with their son.  But, she has needs...needs that haven't been met with a man in 2 years and she's decided this year she's going to do something about that.  On her first full moon foray she walks into the Blue Moon bar and meets Jake, a handsome bartender.  When he helps her with a man she was considering for the evening, they wind up leaving together to mark off the first item on her list.I really enjoyed Josie even though she wasn't able to ever say no to Jake.  The fact that Jake was super persuasive and quite accomplished in the sack didn't hurt his appeal.  I loved the two of them together and the way Jake went out of his way to help Josie mark off the items on her list.  I admire the fact that Josie treaded very lightly where her son was concerned and didn't rush in to introducing Jake.  While there was some tension with her ex-husband overall their relationship progressed at a nice pace especially for someone with a child to consider.  My one issue..Jake was just a little too nice.  I mean nothing seemed to bother him and believe me some of the stuff that went on most men would have not understood and would have at least made their thoughts known. I just felt we didn't know very much about Jake and maybe that's the problem. That's not to say I didn't like him because I did, I just felt he should have expressed a little more emotion.  Together however these two are amazing and equally matched in all ways making this a very satisfying story.This was an enjoyable addition to this series and with each one I get more excited about what is coming next.  I can't wait to see what Mari has in store for us next!
