Review: ~~ 4.5 "Holy Hotness" Stars ~~
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book should come with a warning about needing a fan and some ice cubes while reading!!!  This book was smoking' HOT ;)  This series just keeps getting better and better with every book that Melody Grace releases.  Her writing, to me is flawless.  Her stories always suck me in and keep me interested all the way through.  She creates such great characters that you never want their stories to end.  She also knows how to create a love story without dragging anything out to long or giving us over the top drama.  Yes, her books have some drama in them (the miscommunication) but they are always solved and over fairly quickly.  The only reason I didn't give this book a full 5 stars was because I thought the ending was to abrupt or quick.  I would've liked 1 more chapter finishing out Dex and Alicia's story.  I can't expand on that because it would spoil the ending of  the book, you'll understand what I mean once you have read the book."One week. No rules, no limits, just us.  I can save you from this unrequited love of yours.  And you…you can save me from myself."…DexWe meet Dex and Alicia at the end of Unconditional.  We get our first real taste of these two characters in their novella, Unrequited.  I would definitely suggest reading that first so that you can get to know Dex and Alicia a little better before jumping into this book.  I knew after reading their novella, that I just had to have more of these two, especially DEX!!!!  That man is HOT ;)  and boy does he have a dirty mouth. (I wouldn't mind him whispering in my ear)  Dex is a sexy rock star who has stepped out of the lime light because of a tragic event that happened in his past.  He harbors a lot of guilt over the event and feels he needs to seclude himself from the world, that he doesn't deserve to be happy and find love.  My heart broke for him after reading about his past, but i was glad to see that he was able to work things out as the book went on.  With thanks to Alicia, she was an amazing support for Dex, but she was not without issues either.  Alicia has had an unrequited love for someone for over 3 years. (I'm not going to say who, you'll have to read the book to find out.)  When she meets Dex, he opens her world to adventure and fun and a lot of sexy time.  He is there to show her that she needs to move on with her life and find someone who will return her feelings.  These two were amazing together….talk about scorching chemistry."Some things, you can't plan for.  Some people, you know before you even meet.  Some loves are forever."…AliciaThis book is part of the Beachwood Bay series, but it is also the start of a spin-off series called The Callahan's.  It will focus on The Callahan siblings, but will still focus around the town of Beachwood Bay and past characters will still be making appearances.  I liked that in this book we got to see Hunter and Brit and Carina and Garrett.  It was great getting more of their stories and I also feel we got the conclusions to their books.I am a HUGE fan of this series and I love this new direction Melody Grace is taking with these characters and stories.  Each of the books can be read as standalones, but I would suggest reading them in order and experience everything this series has to offer!!!This book gets my 100% recommendation!!!
