Mari Carr shares some good insight on trust, commitment and letting go of the past in a relationship.  Stephanie and her three best friends opened a book store/bar in their home town.  The bar and book sales are doing rather well, bringing in book clubs and regular customers.  Watching her mother struggle through several marriages because of time devoted to her career, Stephanie fears romantic relationships.  She was also part of a pact with her friends to give three years of full attention and devotion to their book store/bar.  After two years, along comes Detective Jarod Nolan.  After a couple of run ins, they both decide to act in a sexual manner regarding their mutual attraction.  Mari Carr builds an interesting strategy for Jarod to tear down Stephanie's lines of defense.  After some hard learned lessons and sexy experiences, the reader gets to see if they end up in an exclusive relationship despite Stephanie's reservations.  It was a fun story to read....on to book #2!
