I’ve been patiently waiting for Zander’s story ever since BJ Harvey described the sexy-as-hell, blue eyed dancer who moves like sin and has a body built to please. We only got to see a tiny bit of him in Temporary Bliss and while that was nice, this man definitely deserved more than only a few pages devoted to him.As we saw in Mac’s story, Temporary Bliss, Zander isn’t only gorgeous he’s unbelievably kind and considerate. Growing up the man of the house with three younger sisters he knows how to treat a woman right. His protective nature even shows up in his professional life when he decides to become a police officer in Chicago. In fact, it’s that protective nature that brought him closer to Kate.Kate wants the real deal . . . fairy tale love. Now that Kate’s friend Mac has found her Superman, she wants to find her own hero.I want the kind of crazy love we’ve been warned about. The kind of love that makes your heart skip a beat.After drinking a little too much at a club one night, Kate is saved by Zander from a dance partner who wouldn’t take no for an answer. Zander takes Kate home but rebukes her drunken advances in fear that she’ll regret it in the morning. Kate feels foolish and thinks Zander isn’t interested. Zander, just trying to be a good guy, hasn’t stopped thinking about Kate and the one amazing kiss he did allow to happen that night.Through some meddling by Mac, an apartment fire, and a few online dating disasters, Kate and Zander find themselves slowly being pushed together. The build up to their romance was torturous. Although it did give us a chance to get into Zan’s head and hear his unbelievably heart-melting thoughts.I want to get so lost in each other that you can’t tell where one begins and the other one endsWhen Zander and Kate finally do come together it’s explosive. Their sex was hot and I honestly wouldn’t have minded a few more scenes. Especially since Zander was into “relations” of the public kind, if you know what I mean *wink* While the back and forth between them was sometimes a little cheesy, it worked. I also enjoyed getting to see Mac and Daniel again and found that I actually enjoyed Mac much more as a secondary character.I’m so happy BJ Harvey decided to give Zander his own book. He’s my favorite character from any her novels. In fact, True Bliss is my favorite of all her books. I highly recommend it to any fans of her writing. I can’t wait for the continuation of the series! ~Reviewed by Meagan
