KABOOM!  That's what Nico Mayson hears when he meets Sophie Grates.  Oh, he'd heard the story about his Grandfather, from his Dad and three brothers.  Heard it his whole life.  Because it happened to all of them.  And he laughed.  Laughed til tears dribbled down his face.  The "Mayson Curse"...that when you meet that "special someone"...you'd hear BOOM!  Yeah riiiight!  And now...crazy of all crazies...it's happened....TO HIM!?!  Un-be-lievable!  No frikkin' way!She's a 23 year old loner but not really lonely.  She lives happily in her own world..in a bubble of her own making.  She's a part/time librarian and has been on her own since she was sixteen...leaving her irresponsible father after her mother dies.  Sophie Grates is very shy with few friends.  She never dates.  She's bruised and broken from a traumatic event that changed the course of her life...causing her to avoid any type of relationship with people.Nico Mayson has known a lot of women and has never allowed any woman to affect him.  He's never cared what they say or do.  He's never EVER pursued a woman.  Nico is a huge, sexy, tattooed bounty hunter with electric blue eyes and a 4 pound pomeranian named Daisy.  And the moment he meets Sophie....nothing else matters.  All he hears is.....KA-BOOOM!  She's soft to his hard- - she's sunshine to his dark.  She's innocence to his roughness.  And he quickly becomes lost without her.  She becomes his reason to plan a tomorrow.I so love books told in first person...and I especially loved reading this story from two POV. The male/female POV.  I absolutely loved this fast paced story of courtship and romance and coming together, with very little, weak, predictable drama. Don't care...didn't matter, I was thoroughly entertained with the humorous, refreshing dialogue between two main characters, knowing all the time the ending was going to be fine.  Mighty fine.This story is simply sweet.  I thought this Author did, once again, a fab-u-lous job of delivering a commanding, romantic plot with lot's of humorous moments and dialogue...always making sure to introduce and weave in the characters (of her NEXT work/book) by laying their foundation. I thought the narrative and dialogue in this story was nicely balanced. I adore all the sub-characters (Asher/NovemberUntil November (Until Series) (Volume 1)... Trevor/LizUntil Trevor (Until Series Book 2), Cash/LillyUntil Lilly) and their devotion to each other.  All such strong personalities with a strong sense of family.I anxiously await Kenton's story...
