Review: Another Winner for Codi Gary
Rating: 4 out of 5

I think after Make Me Crazy and Things Good Girls Don’t Do, it’s pretty obvious I’m a HUGE Codi Gary fan. (It doesn’t hurt that she’s just an awesome person to boot!) Like each of her other titles I’ve read, this one is a fun, fast paced ride that you won’t want to put down until you reach the end.I personally fell a little bit in love with Travis (sorry honey!) right from the start. I mean, who can resist a cowboy who can SING?!?! And, Gemma? Well, she’s a book-nerd like me! The entire first part of the book (in Vegas) reminded me of Carrie Underwood’s Last Name with a few steamy love scenes to spice it up. And, this book is definitely steamy!I felt like it slowed a bit in the middle (as most books are prone to) but it picks right back up again with plenty of romance. However, that being said, Gemma wasn’t my favorite character of the series. She seemed a little contradictory. It’s hard to give specifics without giving spoilers but, as an example, her reasoning at times seems shallow. Where there was a lot of depth and character to Travis, making him imperfectly sexy, Gemma was lacking this same feature. Or, being perfectly honest, it could be that because of name alone, I keep picturing the Sons of Anarchy character (not a fan of the show) and letting that color my thoughts?The secondary characters are, as always, fantastic, colorful and deserving of their own stories, which I hear through the grapevine are on the way! Codi Gary has a way of telling a story that will hook you from the start, reel you in, no matter how much you might fight sleep, and not let you go until she’s landed you with sizzling romance worthy of a sleepless night!
