This is the first book that I've had the pleasure of reading by Sidney, but it damn sure won't be the last. This book has it all; action, a little bit of drama, loss, heart break, healing, love, hot guys fighting - what's not to like? I loved the sense of humor that Sidney also brought to her characters, the depth to which they showed they cared about the other was fantastic also. I was cracking up so hard the first chapter, and from there I really couldn't put the book down.Chrissy, Jack and Slade grew up together. Jack and Slade were best friends and Chrissy, Slade's little sister, always tried to tag along. That didn't really work out so well for her.Now she's back in town to try and clean up after her brother again, because it seems he doesn't really care about much in general. Things between Jack and Chrissy heat up, and despite Chrissy's telling herself she's not going to go there, she really can't help herself.Jack is everything she's wanted since she was young, but she's afraid. Chrissy is also keeping some things to herself, that she thought her brother held against her. When she finally tells Jack, he tells her she's wrong. Jack moves Chrissy into his house while she's staying and things just get more and more intense between them. Lots of things happen, both for Chrissy and Jack, and Chrissy thinks that by leaving, she'll just get over it. When she realizes she won't, she tries to go back, but fate has other ideas.Jack and Slade both are going crazy wondering where Chrissy went. Jack is called to work, and when he finds out why, his worry for Chrissy just increases. Because she's just gone and no one has heard from her. When Jack tells Slade what he had said and did all those years ago, Slade can't believe that he would have done what he did, but he did. Then when Jack finds Chrissy's car, but not Chrissy, is when both Slade and Jack realize they both could lose her, and not for just a few years.I absolutely loved the way the book ended, Jack and Chrissy were very good together. Each strong enough for the other, and that's important. I'm looking very much forward to the next book coming out whenever that may be. Sidney did a fantastic job with the story line and the characters. I really enjoyed reading every bit of this.
