Review: This series keeps getting better!

Melting Into You has it all, from touching family drama to off-the-charts sexual chemistry. Watching Ben get closer to his daughter and becoming a real parent, is wonderful; not to mention laugh-out-loud at times. (Having him enter the Due South's Manliest Man contest was genius--trust me, you'll love that part! So much fun to read.) Witnessing him and Kezia finally give in to their attraction is worth every cold-shower-inducing moment that comes before for the two of them. Learning new substitutions for swear words ("fucoid" is definitely one I'll be using next month on our Ocean City vacay) and some actual Italian curses give the reading experience a little extra something--not that it needed anything more.Melting Into You, though it is the second in the series, can be read as a stand-alone. Piper and West, the hero and heroine of In Too Deep, make just enough of an appearance to whet your appetite for their story, though--don't say I didn't warn you.All in all, this book was a great kick-off to my summer reading. Whether you're on the beach or as far from the shore as you can get, Ben and Kezia's story will start your summer holidays off right.Some final words of wisdom from the youngest Harland sibling, Shaye from a conversation with Piper and Kezia:“Falling in love shouldn’t be stressful.” Shaye picked up her flatware with a small frown.Piper snorted, coughed, and thumped her breastbone with a fist. “On what world other than a Disney-animated one is that statement true? Puh-lease.”“Well, when I fall in love with the perfect guy, there won’t be any stress.” Shaye scooped up a forkful of rocket and beetroot salad and stuffed it defiantly into her mouth.Oh, yeah. She is so gonna get hers when book three, Ready to Burn comes out! Can't (though I know I have to, darn it) wait! :)Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A-I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
