I absolutely love books from the Bliss group of Entangled! I love the lightheartedness of the stories, and this one is no exception. Shane was the town playboy and Kagan didn't want anything to do with him. She made it clear that she wasn't interested in Shane. However, that didn't stop Shane from flirting. It's like it was in his nature, and I just found it so adorable!I really admired Shane's confidence in the book. He knew his skills and talents, and sometimes he acted cocky, but it was nothing offensive to anyone. He was a softie at heart, if you can believe that. He cared about his family and he had been beating himself up for something he had no control over from his past. Poor guy didn't think he deserved to be loved. No one should ever feel that way.As usual, I love a book with a sense of humor, and this book definitely had it! There were a lot of moments when I would burst out laughing (of course, in the middle of the night) because of what Shane said. The guy was so charming, it's no wonder every women in town wanted to fall at his feet!There were moments when Kagan was fantasizing about Shane talking dirty to her. Frankly, the way "dirty talk" was described in this book didn't quite do it for me. I mean, they were potentially naughty, but dirty? I didn't think so. I was also quite disappointed that the steamy scenes were omitted. I suppose that's how the Bliss line worked. *sigh*I've also read a few stories that's similar to this. What kept this story apart was the sincerity and the honesty of the characters. Usually, with stories like this, the characters were left guessing until they had to make the "big gesture" to show their true feelings. With this book, Shane just came out and said it. I think that was pretty interesting and I appreciated the honesty.Finally, what made this book great was the feelings it brought up in me. It was something Shane had said to Kagan, and it brought the memories of my one past relationship because I was told something similar. I didn't know if I wanted to scream or be mad or just keep on reading. I love it when a book can make me feel that way.Overall, this book is a must-read. You'd be crazy not to read this book. Now I need to go find the first book so I can read about Sela and Luke (Shane's sister and best friend)! :)
