If you didn't read Liza's first book Saving Casey, you are missing out on a very different type of romance novel, but one that will stay with you long after you finish. I highly recommend it. It is not, however, connected to this new release in any way.The heroine here, Carrie, is a 4'6″ dynamo who finds herself having the absolute worst week possible. After returning from a business trip she is almost killed, wrongly arrested, drugs half of her friends...the list goes on and on. Oh and yes, she falls for her boss Trent, who is the most exasperating, infuriating, wretched man on earth. The fact that he is devastatingly handsome and a billionaire doesn't qute matter, because he is SO annoying.In the words of my nineteen year old daughter, "He just sucks."Yes he does, however, one catches glimpses of his humanilty and his desperate attempts to change himself, and it is for that reason we kind of fall for him. He's human. He makes mistakes. He yells too much and he take people for granted, but he is really just a scared boy inside, who was never god enough for his parents.Watching him and Carrie dance around their feelings for each other makes this book so enjoyable. You can tell Liza loves her characters is letting them take over their storytelling. There is quite the cast, Sam, the driver (who I don't really like), Mars, the butlers, whom I really do like, (both of them), Tall and Tiny who are hhilarious...the list goes on and on.The story is fresh and the writing snaps with energy and real life. This will have yo thinking after you close the book-"What did I just read?" And then go back and read it again. this si Book One in The Long Road to Love series, so we don't see if Carrie and Trant end up together. There are three books in all, and I know that Liza has surprises along the way.Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to find out...Liza did you hear me???
