Rating: 4 out of 5

This one starts off strong and funny as our heroine, Chris or Chrissy, after a series of incidents all day, gets pulled over for speeding and, while attempting to hand the officer her license and registration, manages to smack him in the crotch. Yep, her day just wasn't going well, especially when she discovers the officer is Jack Daniels, best friend of her brother. Our hero and heroine reconnect after 11 years while dealing with some issues with Chrissy's brother, but they have some miscommunication to work out, both regarding the past and the present.This book was funny in a lot of places, not the least of which is our hero's tiny little 5 lb dog sidekick, Drogo. However, it also doesn't shy away from some serious issues, such as abusive relationships and family issues between Chrissy and her brother. I give the author huge praise for addressing those without unrealistic drama really, and addressing the relationships among all the main characters in a reasonable way. Our hero and heroine have a long past history, but even then it wasn't insta-love. Our hero has some doubts before realizing he cares for her, and our heroine has to face past issues regarding violence loving someone who is a MMA fighter.My only issue was sometimes the book seemed a little flat or light given the depth of the issues being addressed, but really I give it 4 stars for a great story. I really liked both main characters, truly great personalities with some roundness to them within the story.I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley for an honest review.
