Normally when you pick up a romance novel, you have an idea what’s going to happen.  Not this time. With this novel and its many twists and turns, Erin Nicholas proved once again what a gifted storyteller she is.When I finished Getting Out of Hand, I didn’t think Nicholas would be able to top herself.  Mason and Adrianne were such a wonderful couple that it seemed unimaginable that she would be able to come up with a better couple.Then I met Phoebe and Joe.Joe, is a sexy rich boy with a checkered past. To say he’s a ladies man would be an understatement in the most extreme sense of the word.  When it comes to women, Joe’s used to getting what he wants and using his money to do it.Phoebe is loud, popular and everyone’s best friend, but she can’t seem to get a man interested in her. While all of her friends, and it seems the entire town, are hooking up and falling in love, Phoebe is helping them along while wondering what’s making everyone look past her.  Turns out there’s a big reason Phoebe’s been so unlucky in love all these years and it’s going to be Joe who uncovers that secret.Separately, these two are quite likable. Put them together and there’s an explosive chemistry that keeps readers turning the page until the very end.I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that Joe, the new man in town, was not only self-confident but self-aware. Joe knows the mistakes he’s made in the past and he’s determined not to make them again. It’s that determination that makes him resist the pull of Phoebe’s orbit, but as Joe soon discovers, no one can resist Phoebe.Of course that’s not all Joe discovers.  With Phoebe’s help, he sets out on a journey of self-discovery and learns how to be the man he always wanted to be.From beginning to end, I was riveted by this book. There was witty dialogue and toe-curling sex. There was laughter and tears and some jaw dropping moments thrown in just for good measure.I’m already salivating for the third and final book in this wonderful series.
