This was my first book by this author and it was a wonderful surprise! I loved the way she wrote these two characters, how real their emotions felt, how natural their interactions with each other were. Both of their roadblock to a decent relationship issues felt realistic (have I mentioned how realistic these charcters are?)instead of manufactured for the sake of drama and I found myself rooting for both of them. And the sex was HAWT! I also appreciate the way the author wrote Christy's character in general. Instead of making her a prim, shy and too sweet for words thing, she's a normal 34 year old woman. She curses, she's sarcastic and she doesn't let the somewhat typical hot alpha walk all over her just because she's finally getting what she needs in the bedroom. And on the kitchen counter. And a supply closet at the library.My only real complaint was the lack of a decent smackdown for any of the villains. Are there really women that age that make it their entire life's mission to humiliate another woman simply because she's dating a hot guy? I suppose those women exist, but this town seemed to have way too many witches and a sorry lack of hot men. Even Christy's somewhat psycho mom and her cheating fiance got off easy.When all's said and done I thouroughly enjoyed this book. I have the first book in this series buried somewhere deep in my kindle and I suspect I'll be hunting it down in the next couple of weeks.
