My Review:If you plan to read these books, there are huge spoilers here for Triple Dare, the book that precedes this one. In that book, Rob came clean with his best friend Joe that he had a terminal, inoperable form of brain cancer. This book takes place ten months after that book. He has spent the last 8 months in Italy under the care of Emily, an alternative medical oncologist and now he is in remission. As a result, he has flown to Australia to be in Joe & Anna's wedding, against his doctors advice.Emily has been fighting her attraction to Rob for months. As his doctor, she can't get involved, but the night that she declares him in remission and takes herself off his case as his doctor, they share a single, mind-blowing, scorching kiss. As she chases him to Australia to make sure that he doesn't overdo, she continually asks herself just what exactly she is doing. She knows that she is lying to herself as to her reasons for going.Rob, on the other hand, is lying to himself about very different things, such as the fact that his life has been forever altered by the fact that he has had brain cancer. Despite an incredible attraction to Emily, he is fighting his own demons about her as his doctor. He wants to live life to the fullest without the threat of cancer hanging continually over his head.As you can see, this is a book dealing with some incredibly tough emotional issues. But in the midst of all that is a scorching hot book, full of sexual tension and angst. I really liked the way that Lexxie intertwined the themes so brilliantly within this book. It makes for a really full and satisfying read within what is really just a novella. It's incredibly done.
