Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 30, 2013
Melissa has been betrayed deeply, when she caught her husband in the act of cheating on her, it sent her reeling. Luckily, one of the things that happened was she got back in touch with her childhood friend Korinne. When Melissa goes to an affair Korinne has asked her to in the hopes of match-making, Melissa gets a pleasant surprise and the story begins.  It's here that she is re-introduced to Brett Walker aka the one night stand that rocked her world. It's been 3 months since that fateful night and she has lusted from it ever since.  It's not a one sided lust either, when Brett sees her again he immediately starts the dance of seduction to try and reel her in again, but this time he wants her for more than just one night.I'll admit at first when I opened this book, I didn't realize it was going to be the same characters from "Love's Second Chance", but it was a pleasant surprise as I loved that book.  This book is just as good as the first and we add some new characters. Melissa isn't a very emotional person and I liked that, gone are the weepy women who end their marriage in divorce cheated on. She's head strong, analytical, and won't fall for it a second time.  It makes it so even when she's faced with "in your face" situations she can assess them logically and it helps her to get through them.Brett was a very alpha male type of character.  He's there to make her feel safe and to let others know not to mess with her, she's his. So, while I know I should be gushing over him, Mason is the character that stood out to me in all this. He's the cousin/big brother Melissa calls on when she needs help. He always comes through and isn't an ass about it like most would be.  He's a detective and can find out all the info she needs and has an Inspector Gadget appeal with his trinkets. I truly hope that he gets a book and hopefully Claire is part of it.This book took two days to read, so I wouldn't call it short or long, but just the right length. It has plenty of "what's next" in it, you truly don't know what to expect at some parts, then there are others that you can guess.  There is no shortage of steamy scenes in this book. The nice part of it though is they are timed well and don't interfere with the story.  This is truly a good story with sex scenes, not a sex story with good scenes. Which in my opinion makes it a great book.I would rate this book a 4.5 stars out of 5.
