4.5 out of 5Absolutely yes.  This was everything I was looking for in the first novel but more.  The second in the series, Stolen Course is the story of Caleb and Emma, the most unlikely pairing given Caleb’s history with Emma’s sister Sarah (just the small fact he wants to see her destroyed for killing his fiancée 5 years prior).  This book roped me in from the start and I could not put it down.  What I loved here were Caleb and Emma themselves.  They were great characters, confident and real, and I enjoyed watching them build their flirty friendship in to more.  Caleb is heartbreakingly damaged, stuck in his quest for vengeance, but his connection to Emma brings out a humorous, softer side.  You cannot help but be immensely frustrated with his obsession while simultaneously sympathize with his pain.  Emma – I love a confident woman and she was never afraid to push back, except when it came to her sister.  The story here is definitely high on the angst, as you’d expect it to be with these two working to overcome an almost insurmountable obstacle, Sarah.  How do you love someone who is connected to the one person you hate the most?  Ignoring the issue until the tension burst seemed to be their modus operandi, so you can imagine this is definitely a roller coaster of emotions and confrontation.  Add some serious drama to the mix and I just could not put this down.  I’m a huge sucker for the path to redemption and forgiveness, especially when coupled with a super sweet HEA, and I really got my fill here.  Definitely one of my favorite books I’ve read this year.
