This is the second book in the Iris Series, and I was looking forward to this one, as I was impressed with Ayanna from book one. She is funny, feisty, beautiful, yet a little insecure, and the chemistry between her and Jonathan was intense. Their first few interactions always ended in an argument;  and because Ayanna was not used to men not falling all over her once she made up her mind to woo them with her charm and beauty, she didn't know how to respond and it just fed into her insecurities. Jonathan is charming, endearing, smart and extremely handsome, and it frustrates him that Ayanna gets under his skin, and as much as he hates it, each interaction ends in his snarly comments and more frustration. Ryann is completely taken aback, as this behavior is so out of character for her friend, and she see the effect it has on her best friend Ayanna, who wants a good man to love her for herself. Ayanna makes the decision to go introspective and work on herself for the next 40 days, giving up the two things that she loves the most, as a sacrifice to lead her to the life she so desires with a good man to love and love her. It is during this time, that she and Jon form a truce, and become friends. This is when things start to heat up, and so many things in Ayanna's life begin to evolve.I enjoyed the back and forth between Yan and Jon; once they did get together, their was lots of intimate scenes (almost overkill for me, but maybe not for the next reader). I did enjoy the secondary characters, and the authors had done a good job introducing couples for future installments. Looks like the next one will be Emily, Jonathan's cousin and Michael, detective and brother of Janie, Ayanna's business partner. It was a long story, but it flowed well, and read quickly. The story has a little drama that made it interesting, and again the secondary characters were interesting; would love a story for Dev, Yan's brother and Mark, Jon's brother (maybe they are a couple, who knows;) anyway I'm sure the authors have more in store for us. Good story!
