4.5/5 stars!(Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book to write a review. I am a peer author.)Schiller is HILARIOUS. I had very high hopes having previously worked with this author in prior peer review/workshop settings, and I was not disappointed. She's got the zingy one liners and subtle humor that you either have or your don't. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely read the rest of the series.  The sex was hot, the drama was well brewed, and the characters believable.**WARNING -- SPOILERS Below**The ONLY thing that made me pause were the last three chapters or so. I know word count and editors come in to play...-- Spoilers start here--- The molestation was such an important role, but it almost got swept under the rug at the end. Granted, harping on it isn’t great either, but I wanted more of a “show me, don’t tell me” kind of thing. My suggestion would be to add either more flashbacks/dreams or to have her more physical symptoms (ie. panic attacks at being touched intimately). I thought it was almost there, but not quite.-  After mom got hit by the car, a bit out of left field but I could deal, I liked that our hero came back. However, I feel like it was wrapped up a little too neatly. I wanted just a little bit more resistance from him and a little bit more trouble with Mom recovering. Brain injuries are so complicated. Again, almost there.Outside of the slightly rushed, neat bow ending, I loved this book. I think that Schiller is an author to watch!
