I am in love! With a new author to watch!I love the writing style of this book. There was a slow build relationship wise between Dylan and Myra...but in that we got some amazing character development. Seriously, I felt like I was feeling every emotion as deeply as they were. Think the slow progression between them made you literally glued to each page, just waiting and waiting for that Big Bang moment and holy yes it was there!When I first started this book, my heart kept breaking for Myra. Seemed like she was just one tiny magnet for disaster and heartbreak. Her mother dies when she is 10, her father dies when she is 20, and her grandfather at 25. Somewhere in between that mass of loss and heartbreaking grief. She also loses her boyfriend of two years to his new skanktaculous assistant. AND if that wasn't enough, she has to work with Douc*e McDouc*e Lord & his sl*t-ant. Everyday reminding her of just have deeply alone she is. Well, with the exception of the best friend to end all best friends. In my opinion, everyone should have a Susie in their life. At one point I found myself looking forward to her hilarious comments more than anything else! I was literally sitting at the doctor today reading with a big creepy grin on my face, I'm sure I looked so stupid but Susie is hilarious!Okay, ADD...back to the review! Myra might be painfully alone, but she is done being reminded over and over like some sick "Groundhog Day". Off she runs, back to her home town to live in the house she inherited from her Grampie, even if it is falling down around her head. Throw in some creepy town folk, sweet old man next door and his talker of a granddaughter, some pain, some man drama, and the hunk Greek God of grump contractor and you have one amazing book. Did I mention the Greek God of hot. Oh yes, Dylan.I loved Dylan. Even though he really is/was a huge ass for a good 60% of the book, when he started knocking those walls down, he is impossible to resist. But, where my heart hurt for Myra--it broke for Dylan. I know he has been through some horrible stuff. I have my theory about what and why and who and all that...so I personally can forgive him for his "crap". He was the perfect jerk turned teddy bear. Watching him get all alpha male protector for Myra, holy hot! And, I kid you not...those kisses, better than sex!Now, there is one dinger of a cliffhanger (that last few pages I felt like I was going to go crazy with anticipation!), but don't let that stop you. It just keeps you craving more. I for one can't wait to see what the future holds for Myra and Dylan!Can I stress how badly I need book 2 RIGHT.
