This is a book about friendship from childhood with a lot of misunderstands that get in the way. It talks about some very serious issues that are in the world today. It has taken eleven years for all the hurt and anger to come to ahead and get worked out. This wasn’t a bad read. The issue I had was we have thirty sometime men running around acting like teenagers. These are professional men with good jobs calling each other dude and acting like they are still in high school. The story does have a lot of good points and humor which did care me through and gave me a few chuckles. With some work this could be an outstanding read. I felt the book repeated things too much and could have been a better read with less of it.Chrissy comes homes after eleven years to bail her brother out of jail. She is still angry about issues that happen when she was young. I enjoyed the bickering between her and Jack they had some really funny times. When he pulled her over after the most trying day of her life, everything that could go wrong has gone wrong…. well let’s just say it didn’t end well when she handed him her papers and hit him in the nuts and he drops to his knees. That was funny and I totally enjoy it, the author had me hooked for awhile. Jack is her brother’s best friend who is now a cop the job suits him from since he was the one that kept her from having any fun growing up. He was always the one to keep her out of trouble, take her home. They made her a goody too shoes. He is still the best looking guy in town that she had a crush on growing up but she is over that or is she? Chrissy is a doctor and has major issues with violence, she does not understand how grow men could enjoy fighting for a living much less for fun. She finds she still has a thing for Jack but her past haunts her and won’t let her get to close, starting a relationship is out for so many reasonsJack has had a hard day and just wants to go home, eat and get some rest before he works on getting his best friend out of jail. He is still on duty and stops a speeder, he gets hit in the balls and falls head over heels in lust. Wait a minute that couldn’t be Chrissy, fat, nerdy Chrissy only she has changed she is now this hot little sex number that gets his motor running in a big way. It is not a question of if they sleep together it is just when. It doesn’t take him long to fill her in on his feelings of the matter of their sex life. Is funny for sure…I totally love that dog, he was a trip and made the reading a pleasure. However I had a lot of issues with this book. Starting with dude and going on to how her brother doesn’t have a clue what she does or how much she makes. I really like Chrissy and Jack but each character had issues that annoyed me. I love the hell cat she was but then the next minute people were walking over top of her. I started thinking she had a split personality. With Jack I still can’t get past the dude thing, I don’t think I have ever met a cop that said dude more than once if at all. I found him to be a total sexy hot alpha male who acts to young for the job he has. Her brother working and saving, he needed this one last fight to set him up in business of training men to fight, but I just never understood him.The book is about serious issues which lost its strong points and got lost. I did enjoy the bickering and I did find a few humorous things that make the book an okay read. I adored the dog and one liners. It is just every time I got into this story the author lost me. I am sorry this book just didn’t do it for me, I know there will be people out there that love it. I just expected more….
