Review: Love this one more than the first book in the series

This book took the suspense and action factor of Give Me Love and easily doubled it- and was it ever a fun ride! I am a huge Kristen Ashley fan and I have to say Kate McCarthy’s Give Me series is rapidly becoming a serious contender to give me my hot guy/ sassy girl/ action fix now that the Rock Chick series is over.We meet Quinn briefly at the end of Give Me Love as she is interviewing to be Mac’s new assistant.  Although you don’t need to read Give Me Love first in order to enjoy Give Me Strength, GML does fill in a lot of the background information for you.Give Me Strength starts off with Travis and Quinn’s first encounter on the night before her interview.  Quinn has been a bit of a recluse for the past few years after recovering from a tragic and heartbreaking loss, but her outgoing best friend Lucy decides it is time for her to rejoin the real world and convinces her to go to Jamieson’s performance at a local club.  Cue an awkward encounter with Travis involving multiple glasses of wine and a wet t-shirt followed by some serious hotness followed by an awkward morning after as Quinn literally stumbles into Travis’ brother Mitch and roommate Casey while trying to make her escape from his loft.  Travis and Quinn don’t get each other’s names, and neither one realizes that their lives are about to become a lot more connected than they expect.  When Travis shows up at her door to drop off some paperwork from Mac, he is shocked to see Quinn standing there after running out on him.  Game on!I really loved both Quinn and Travis.  She doesn’t let life get her down, she has an inner emotional strength that seems to have endless reserves, and no matter how many times she is knocked down she just keeps getting back up again.  Travis is an alpha badass who is also protective, caring and sweet rolled into one awesome package.  If you are looking for a read with a healthy dose of fun, action, heat and suspense, grab yourself a copy of the 2 books in this series.  I know I will be anxiously awaiting the next installment which will be Casey's story!
