Review: A Sweet and Satisfying Read...

The thing I love about reading Lacey Wolfe's work is that you get drawn into the characters and their lives, completely forgetting that you're reading a book. You never want it to end!  Bidding Wars was no different, I would sit down to read for just a few minutes and before I knew what had happened it would be 4 or 5 chapters later... time well spent in my opinion!This is the story of Molly (a nurse) and Luke (a sheriff).  They meet when they both place the exact same offer on a house - which just so happens to be Molly's dream house.  Taking the competition personally, Molly confronts the hunky sheriff and it instigates a bidding war.  Only one of them can win, but as the price increases so does their feelings for each other. The house itself continues to be a sore subject between them. After a few dates they can't get enough of each other, unfortunately Molly's past has left her vulnerable and afraid of commitment.  Luke tries to be supportive of her feelings, never pushing her, but he has personal issues of his own - mainly his ex-wife and the custody battle over their son.I adored Molly and Luke.  I understood and appreciated Molly's apprehension even though at times I wanted to bop her on the back of the head and say "Go be happy".  And then there's Luke **swoon**!  Could there be a more perfect man?  Well, okay he does have some flaws, like an overly competitive streak and the fact that he's almost too understanding at times. I was waiting for him to step up and make Molly see what was right in front of her instead of giving her space.  I'm a sucker for a sensitive guy though!In the end, as usual, Lacey Wolfe has left a goofy grin on my face.  Although there is plenty of sexual tension, their moments are heated yet tender. I think the closed door scenario actually enhanced this book.  It left it as an intimate moment between two people that deserve a little pleasure in their lives. If you're looking for a quick, sweet, heartwarming read then this is the book for you!
