These Bowen Brothers are just plain hot. While I really enjoyed getting to know James and Tate, Christy and Cole's story left me stuttering. I'm so glad that I finally had the chance to read these sexy, sexy books.Christy was such a real character to me. She's battled with weight issues for a long time, but she is in a healthier place emotionally. However, she still has body image issues that she deals with daily. I mean...who couldn't relate to that. Not only could I relate to her, but I just generally liked her character. She's someone I would likely be friends with.I knew I would like Cole going into this book. I'm not exactly sure why, because we don't get to know him too much in the first book, but I was right with my first instinct. I mean, I REALLY liked Cole. Of course he's sexy, but he's more than that. He is an alpha male, no doubt about it, but he also has a sensitive, compassionate side to him, that made me love him even more. Add in his dedication to his brothers, his job, and eventually Christy, and this guy is damn near perfect.The sex in this book....there are just no words to explain. This book had my pulse up, my head in the freezer, and dragging the hubs into the bedroom. TMI? It's not even that it was kinky or out of the ordinary sex, it was just really scorching. I think what got me so revved up was the way Cole talks to Christy. While they have an "arrangement" for sex, he definitely feels something more for her and makes her feel valued and beautiful. It was such a turn on.Overall, Heavy Issues just did it for me. This book was about a couple developing a relationship. There were no fancy twist and turns to the story; it was just about Christy and Cole. They overcame some obstacles and were able to find a truly loving relationship in the end. I loved it.If you are looking for a steamy romance, look no further. The Bowen Series doesn't disappoint. It has great sex and romance. What more could you want? Except maybe ANOTHER Bowen story. I know I do. Can't wait for Max!
