Because You Love Me is the second book in the Because trilogy (Because of You is the first book) and releases the 24th of January. I've read a stack of Mari Carr books and all of them are full of family, lots of humor, HOT lovin', and emotion. Not a lot of humor in this one which is understandable when the heroine is running for her life for most of the book, but the suspense was a nice variation.The story begins when our heroine, Bridget, is witness to a tragic, scary, and very sad incident involving her best friend Lyle and a very nasty, crooked judge. She is determined to see justice served but waiting for the trial leaves her vulnerable even though she's been placed in protective custody. Every time she moves to a new safe house the bad guys find her which leaves her and the officer assigned to keep her safe, thinking someone in the police department is on the judge's payroll. Bridget's friend Lyle left a flash drive with very incriminating evidence and if she can find it she can put the judge and other criminals away for a very long time. The problem is, the clues to find it are encrypted in a letter Lyle also left behind in case something happened to him. Lyle did such a good job with the clues, they're having a really hard time figuring it out. When they uncover one of the clues, it leads them to Saratoga, WY where they decide to hide out at a bed and breakfast owned by a very nice gay couple. One day Bridget decides she's had enough of being cooped up and wanders out of her room only to run into not one but two of the most gorgeous men she's ever laid eyes on. The sparks fly immediately and the sexy twins (oh, did I forget to mention they were twins?) begin their pursuit to win her over, not only her body but also her heart. What starts out as a competition between Matt and Mark end up with them wanting to share her. I loved how protective they became when they realized her circumstances. I never doubted for a minute they would let anything or anyone do her harm.I ALWAYS enjoy reading Mari Carr's books and this one is no exception. I hope you'll give this trilogy a try. If you stop back by on Monday, Mari will be our guest and answers a few questions regarding the third and final story
