Date: 12 1, 2011
After being attacked by her boss, pastry chef Jocelyn Dupree has moved to Hawaii to be near her brother and to start a new life. While she finds new friend Kai Aiona sexy, the skittish Jocelyn doesn't think she's ready for a romance. But the more she begins to trust Kai, the more she reconsiders her initial thoughts to keep him at arm's length.Kai's heart is also on the mend after a bad relationship and the last thing he needs is a woman so laden with baggage. But every time Jocelyn smiles he about comes undone. Soon he's finding any excuse to be with her and she's opening her heart and sharing the details of her past. Kai wants her to share her past with him, but he's not ready to reciprocate. Jocelyn refuses to accept this one-sided aspect of their relationship, but Kai won't budge. Jocelyn has come to the realization that she loves this man more than anyone in her life, but will love be enough to keep them together?I've become addicted to Melissa Schroeder's Harmless series and this fifth story is no exception. Jocelyn is a heroine that a reader can really respect. Although brutally attacked by her horrid boss, she's unwilling to allow that experience to wreck her life. She may still have some fear issues but her tenacity for overcoming her fears is to be applauded. Kai, for all his anger at his past relationship, is still a caring, honorable man. I felt he held back a little too long but when Jocelyn made it clear she wanted to get back in the saddle again, so to speak, Kai's inner Alpha reared its head and showed Jocelyn he was more than man enough for the job.  Kai and Jocelyn made a wonderfully believable, sexy couple and the storyline kept the pace brisk for a thoroughly deliciously and highly entertaining read. I look forward to the next installment of this thrilling series.Check out my reviews on FallenAngelReviews.com
