Can I start by saying how much I love Shannon Stacey's writing. When I interviewed her this summer she let it slip that this story would be out around the holidays. You don't even want to see how excited I got when this collection went up on NetGalley. E.X.C.I.T.E.D. doesn't even do it justice.Stacey didn't disappoint. Her characters, as always, were down to earth and funny. You hit this relationship not at its beginning but close to its boiling point. You're literally waiting for these characters to implode! They've spent so much time trying to resist each other because of the nature of Claire's first marriage that the tension is through the roof. Their relationship, both physical and emotional, comes together very realistically. Though this is the shortest title in the collection I never felt as though the progression of their relationship was rushed. And they were given time to deal with the emotional ramifications of their attraction. When this one ends you'll find a Happily Ever After, not just because the Author tells you there will be one...but because you can see it for yourself in the character's new-found understanding.
