This is my new favorite by Cindi Madsen, her best one yet in this series for me! I loved it so much. It had that perfect mix of funny, sexy and sweet. Connor is entirely too charming, almost ridiculous in the lines he uses and yet, it so worked for me, had me cracking up often, and falling hard for him. Add in the fact he has a German Shepherd, and talk about wanting a Connor of my own!Connor is the playboy often seen in romance, a guy who enjoys his share of women and who knows exactly what to say to get what he wants. Then in walks Faith, a girl who makes him want more, at a time in his life when he's already feeling that pull for more than one night, and he's twisted up in ways he never imagined. It doesn't help that she's his best friend and partner's little sister, and clearly off limits. But I'm not going to lie, seeing this guy decide this girl is worth even angering his best friend, and I was so hooked.Faith is a great character, a girl with a few scars on her, and one who does tend to run when things get rough. While I know there's readers who don't dig a heroine who tends to flee, there is something about the way Faith was done that had it working for me. It's a mix of her being the type of person who doesn't really put roots down, and who just doesn't always know how to face things (like when her ex cheats on her, in their new bed!), and she was a recipe for the kind of girl who just needed the right person to reel her in.There's a hint of enemies in this one, more on Faith's side, who's first impression (and judgements, of course) of Connor aren't so favorable, and all the banter they exchange as a result is witty and oh so awesome. Then there's the sparks that fly, and the overall sweetness to this book, and it's everything I love from the Bliss line.
