3.5 starsCara is an event planner for her sisters fiancés restaurant.  One night in Vegas with her sister and several drinks and she wakes the next morning to find that her perfect structured life has been thrown for a loop when she discovers she is married.Shane knew the instant he saw Cara that she was it for him and when she asks him to marry her he jumps at the chance.  When she wakes the next morning and runs for the hills, Shane knows he has his work cut out for him to keep Cara for real.But Shane came to Chicago with an agenda and secrets that Cara doesn't know.  As they spend more time together and Caras feeling for Shane start to grow, Shane is terrified of telling her the truth.  When the secrets come out, can Cara believe anything with Shane has been real?Some books grip you from the first chapter and draw you in...for me, despite my high hopes based on the synopsis, this was not that book.  It was a very slow start and I had a really hard time with Cara.  She isn't very like able in my opinion.  I stopped and started this book several times over the past two weeks before finally buckling down, determined to finish it.  If I am being honest, I skimmed big parts of it and if I had not been given a copy for review, it probably would have been a DNF for me at about the 30% mark.My thoughts:Character development: 3Level of Romance between characters: 3.5Passion/Heat level: 4 (For me, the sex scenes were the best part of this book...well written and steamy!)Angst/Heartbreak: 3 (a lot of drama from Cara but since I didn't like her much, I honestly didn't care.  Shane has his share of demons as well)Cliffhanger?: Nope, this is the second in the series but has a HEA.  Can be read as a stand alone.Overall, I think this one was just not for me.  I know a lot of other people have enjoyed this book so please don't let me review keep you from giving it a try.  It is well written and the sex scenes are hot!  I just didn't like Cara from the start and for me, it is hard to enjoy a book if I don't like the heroine.I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
