Book two about one of my new favorite families, the Gallos.  : )  Michael's passion is MMA, which of course means he at times has to hit the ER.  Enter Dr Mia Greco.  She's a healer, not a fighter.  She thinks fighting is barbaric, and so even tho she feels a fissure of awareness when Michael ends up in her ER, she doesn't agree to go out w/ him.  And then, as things do, the ER got busy & she didn't have a chance to go back in & see him.  A while later, they run into each other (LITERALLY) at their shared gym.  Sparks once again fly, and this time they're both ready to explore.Michael & Mia's relationship is hot and super sweet.  I loved this story quite a lot!  There is an obligatory breakup period, but the reason behind it makes total sense & didn't seem contrived at all like can sometimes happen.  And the majority of the story is focused on Mia & Michael & their getting to know each other, building a friendship while they date before sex comes into play.  And when sex does come into play, it's H O T but not all-consuming, which is somewhat refreshing from a genre perspective.And the gift Michael gives Mia, actually there are a few, toward the end, for her to be able to do what she loves on a permanent basis... Swoony goodness, I say!  This was a great book 2, and the set up for book 3 (Izzy's story) looks fab, as well.  Thumbs up, multiple stars, happy reading!!  : )
