How good was this book??? Well, let me tell you.  I read this one AND the second in the series in one day. I felt like my eyes were going to pop out, but I just couldn't stop reading. To say these books were addicting is an understatement. Even today, three days later, I am visualizing various parts and thinking that I really need to go back and read them again. It would definitely be worth it.In this book, we find out that Bridie has had a rough start to life. She's a currently trying to work herself into a better life, holding down a couple part time jobs. She meets Scott when she accidentally spills coffee on him. They end up talking for a couple hours. She's thought she met the man of her dreams. Unfortunately, the jerk doesn't call. Although let down, she moves on with her life.Then Cody comes along. A sexy, former Navy SEAL with an ego and attitude to match.  He's definitely the love them and leave 'em kind of guy. Someone Bridie definitely needs to stay away from. As you can figure, Cody and Bridie end up getting together. There were so many times I wanted to smack Cody. Although he's in a relationship, he sometimes acts like he's single and that him interacting with women shouldn't bother Bridie. Life just doesn't work that way.It doesn't help that Cody comes from money and Bridie from the wrong side of town. The only person that seems to be bothered by that fact is Cody's mother. She pulls quite a few little tricks to try to push Bridie away. Sometimes she's just downright mean and hurtful. Cody should have stood up for her, but he just seems to ignore his mother's antics, which ticked me off. I wanted to see her get what she deserved.On the day Bridie needs Cody the most, he does the most hurtful thing to her so she runs and ends up in the arms of Scott.  Cody's reaction is immature and childish with lasting consequences for him.At the end of this book, I was relieved to know that I had the second in the series on my Kindle already. I needed to start it right away.
