A copy was provided by the author in return for an honest review.Cassandra & Ryan are thrown together when Cassie's mother marries Ryan's dad.  Cassie is very much attracted to Ryan & unknown to her, the attraction is mutual.  But neither one knows how to make the other aware so they constantly bicker when in each other's company.Ryan finally makes a move on Cassie right before he's due to ship out before a long deployment & Cassie is stunned but the pair is interrupted before they can do more than share a few hot kisses.  When Ryan returns from his deployment Cassie is unable to make his welcome home party because she's stranded by a hurricane & Ryan thinks she's deliberately avoiding him so the pair is back to snarking at each other.Things finally come to a head when they're each asked to houses-sit by their respective parent.  Cassie feels challenged by Ryan to do everything she can to prove she's no spoiled princess until the pair collide in a passionate tangle.  It doesn't last long though when Cassies asks about making their relationship open to their family & gets her feelings hurt when Ryan tells her there's no need to tell the family instead of clarifying that the family already knows how they feel about each other.Overall not a bad story.  A lot of the couple's conflicts could have been solved sooner by actual communication leaving room for more relationship building.  I got a good sense of character that is sometimes lacking in shorts.  I would be willing to read more from this author.
