Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 09 4, 2013
First let me say that I am an avid reader.  As such, lately the books I have been reading tend to just blend together.  However, this book was so different than the others.  It is written with such flare that it stands out and I will be remembering the characters and the story line for a very long time.  Eve Rabi has managed to create characters so real and a story so believable and with such style that I found myself laughing, crying and feeling anxious throughout the book. This was my first book that I have read by this author and it will not be the last as this author has quickly shot up to one of my 5 best authors and believe me that is quite an accomplishment if you were to see how many books a month I purchase from Amazon.  That's right WHOOSH - straight up to the TOP 5!!So...on to the story description.  We start out with Bridie who has some issues as can be expected from a gal who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks so to speak.  She had a crackhead mama but at an early age was adopted in to a mix match family of brothers and sisters with equally sad and interesting family issues.  These brothers and sisters, along with her friends in the "hood" are her backbone and you just love them right along with Bridie.  Almost makes me want to move to the "hood".Then you bring Scott (a Navy Seal) in to the picture.  He is a HOTTIE - of course he is a Navy Seal and who doesn't love a Navy Seal - right?  Scott is everything Bridie is looking for in a man.  He is Hot (can't stress that enough), and a true gentleman.  For Scott, it is true love at first sight.  But for reasons I won't go in to (read the book), Scott doesn't contact Bridie after that first date.  So what's a girl to do...move on, right?So Bridie does move on to Cody.  Oh now Cody is a HOTTIE too and also a Navy Seal.  But Cody is everything that Bridie has been avoiding her entire life.  He does not fit in to her life plan.  Cody is immature, a man whore, a party guy ... you get the picture.  But oh can this guy make Bridie's bones turn to jello.  Thing about Cody though is that he has never been turned down by a female before.  I mean how dare she (Bridie) think of turning him down.  That makes him even more determined.Things get even more interesting when you get Cody's family involved.  They are the ultimate hoity toity richie snobs and ...well just not nice (especially the queen mum).  They are not too fond of Cody's new gal from the hood nor her extended family.  Then (spoler here)..remember Hottie Scott?  Turns out that he is Cody's brother!!  Oh WOW!!The only issue I have with this book is that Eve may want to speak with her editing staff because there were areas in the book with typos, grammar errors, etc.  However, this in absolutely no way had an effect on my enjoyment of the book so in my opinion this book hands down warrants a 5 star rating.Sorry for long winded review... Summary:  here is a book that kept me up until 3:00AM because I had to finish it.  Could not put it away until I found out the outcome.  Can not wait to read Book 2 in this series.
