Avoiding Mr. Right is the second in the Walk on the Wild Side Series for C. J. Ellisson. It is an exemplary example of erotic romance that offers so much more than just a great summer beach read. Heather (from Vanilla on Top) shares her concerns with her friend's love `em and leave `em attitude. Carla's character stubbornly insists that she knows what she wants. She just doesn't realize how much she really does want a real, long lasting relationship.Andy has his hands full, from the first chapter of the story. Carla doesn't want to cooperate. We follow his progress with Carla while learning more about his depth of character as an honorable man that any woman would love to have in their lives.Every emotion one explores in starting a new relationship is examined through the lenses of Carla and Andy's past experiences. We learn of Carla's deep seeded fears, of Andy's desire to have a loving family experience like his folks. The excitement of the `firsts', the realizations of growing desires, and deepening relationship are all explored with the delightful writing style of Ms. Ellisson. You feel like these characters become a part of your family. You feel yourself rooting for them, and wanting to pop them upside the head.I know this is one book that I'm going to read over and over. I laughed, I cried, and nodded thinking "Amen, Sister" as I read it. It really is one of my favorite books.
