Yanked was everything I hoped it would be! It tied up all of the loose ends into a neat, perfect little bow. Oh, and do I really need to tell you that it was smokin’ hot?! If you read Frenched, then you already know that Melanie Harlow is the master of hot.[“You know,” he said softly, and I fantasized that I could feel the vibrations from his voice on my cheek, “sometimes I just want to leave our phone connection open all night just so if I wake up, I could hear you breathing.”“Really?” Warmth pooled deep in my belly. “That makes me happy.”“Good. I want to make you happy, Mia. Every day.”]Oh yeah, I didn’t mention it’s also super sweet! I am in love with Lucas. He’s absolute perfection. So I completely understood and related to Mia.Frenched leaves off sort of open-ended, even if it is on a positive note. It was Lucas and Mia metaphorically riding off into the sunset, living happily ever after. It was left up to the reader to imagine their fate. But I guess Melanie didn’t anticipate how many people would read it, how much they would love it, or how much they would want the details! And thank God for it because I was not prepared to lose Lucas. I needed more of him. I still do! But at least now I feel satiated.Anyway, as I was saying… it ended with the two of them having a long distance relationship, with Mia in Detroit and Lucas in New York City. When we catch up with them again in Yanked, they have been together for nearly a year, and the distance is finally beginning to wear on Mia. So she makes a spontaneous trip to surprise him. But when she arrives, an unexpected and unwelcome and undressed guest answers the door. It turns out Lucas has been keeping secrets from her and he’s in seemingly no hurry to make changes to their relationship. Mia is angry and hurt, Lucas is caught off guard and defensive.If you loved Frenched, Yanked is a must-read! If you haven’t read Frenched yet, you have absolutely no idea what you are missing out on. You need to go one-click it NOW!I absolutely fell in love with Lucas and Mia (especially Lucas!). Melanie Harlow has made a fan out of me and I am SOOOO excited to see what she has in store for us in the future. I know it will be sweet, I know it will be funny, and I know it will be hot!
