Love Me is the second installment in Diane Alberts' Try Me series and after loving the first in the series, Try Me, I was beyond excited to receive this ARC from Entangled Publishing.  True to Diane's writing style, she nailed it!  I loved this story.Thomas Jones is in Vegas getting ready to meet with another "suit" in order to land another big account for his marketing company...a job he truly excelled at.  Good thing he was more successful in his career, because goodness knows, he wasn't as successful in his personal life.  After finally leaving his bitch of an ex-wife, eight years earlier, he still has yet to heal from that wound.  As he heads into his latest meeting, he realizes the suit he's meeting with happens to be filled out deliciously by the beautiful woman he saved from a texting-while-walking disaster in the parking lot.  Immediately Thomas realizes his love life may be sparking back to life after a long hiatus.Brianna Faulk is fully prepared for her business meeting...and wholly unprepared for the instant attraction to the man she's meeting with.  She's equally unprepared for his advances and insistence that they meet for a more casual date later that evening.  She's equally surprised to find that his advances aren't exactly unwelcomed...which is totally uncharacteristic of her.  Being a woman in a man's business world, she's used to keeping things professional and being somewhat detached.  Thomas, however, makes her want to break her own rules and take a chance and maybe, just maybe, learn to live again.  But, is she willing to give him a chance and let him into her life?  She knows she isn't strong enough to deal with another hurtful blow from the unkind fates...she also knows not a lot of men like women with baggage, and she's got more baggage than Macy's luggage department.Don't let the fact that this only has 134 pages trick you into thinking that it isn't long enough to build a relationship to the characters, because it simply isn't the case.  This story started out hot and heavy, cooled down, went to high emotion, and ended with the most perfect ending for Tom and Brianna. Thomas and Brianna's push and pull and build up of sexual tension was delicious. They play off of each other so well and their personalities compliment one another beautifully.  They have a lot to work through in order to see where the road may lead for them, and it's an emotional roller coaster for sure....but so well worth it!  I gave a heavy contented sigh of pleasure when I read the last chapter....simply perfect.  Diane is one of those talents that pulls you in from the very first chapter and holds you interested until the epilogue.  To me, that's the mark of a great author!Thank you, Diane, for another phenomenal story that I enjoyed from start to finish!  Cannot wait for more in this series!
