After one steamy night a year ago ex-marine Nate Jennings and photographer Lilly Grayson have been at each other's throats pushing all the wrong buttons. Now with a tropical storm bearing down on the South and flights cancelled Lilly has no choice but to go on a fifteen hour road trip to Vermont for her friend Hayden's wedding with Nate. The attraction between the two is undeniable but both try to fight against it. Lilly's plan is to torture and give him the worst case of blueballs in his life. Nate's plan is to try and keep it in his pants all the while pissing her off.Nate is struggling with survivors remorse from his last tour, and guilt over leaving his ailing mother behind and his little brother to care for her. Lilly struggles against her past of a bad family and always being left behind. Lilly and Nate try to push each other away but when they give into temptation more is on the line than just pride.The Good: The story was pretty damn perfect. Even my cold and perverted heart cracked a little with this one. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll get more than a little hot and bothered. The struggles of the characters as they fight against the past to get to something more was truly touching. The heroine is sassy and sexy but still sweet and has such heart.The Bad: Not a god damn single thing. Even the ending was perfect. My heart is not as pervy and stone cold as I thought.Final Note: Totally worth reading. So many romance novel just seem to blend together and follow the same plot line. This novel just adds something more. More heart, more story, more sexy. Although this is the second novel in the Falling for You series you can read it as a stand alone. I still have not read the first, but will definitely be doing so in the near future. This was the first book in a while that I could not stand to put down.Favorite Quotes:"And there was no way she could go to prison. She looked terrible in orange. Guess she'd have to get creative when hiding the body."" 'We even brought a skunk home one time, thinking if we gave it a bath it wouldn't stink so badly.' Nate chocked on his drink, but he was grinning. 'Why in God's name would you do that?' She shrugged. 'Poor thing looked so lonely sitting on the side of the road all by himself.' ""Shock and awe stole any words he might have produced."
