"Life is full of surprises."Meet Cali Tate, owner of a local bar and, shall we say, an eccentric person. She has lived her life her way and mostly on impulse. And like any impulsive decisions, they are not always the wisest choices. But she has her friends, her bar and she is okay with that. She likes to do things her way. She's smart, funky, strong willed, independent, a go-getter. Defiantly someone I can relate with! On impulse one fine day (a day that will change her life forever), she offers to help out her friend to deliver some books to the local recluse, Dr. Carter Stavros.Meet Carter Stavros, a man recently moved to Steeple trying to run and hide from something in his past. This of course has its own set of problems, but he likes things done and handled a certain way. Major OCD issues there. And let not forget, a 10 on the hotness scale! And loves to use big words; well he is a doctor that graduated from Harvard and working at Dartmouth! The last thing a guy like Carter needs is someone like Cali intruding into his life, but that is exactly what she does!So their first meeting doesn't go so well, but Cali is intrigued and has set out to get to know Carter better. However, little does she know, Carter is just as intrigued in her. Their first couple of encounters are very sexual charged, and really who can blame them! Although they have a physical attraction that cannot be denied, they more time they spend getting to know each other, everything else just feels right. Cali breaks down Carter's walls and he lets her into his heart. They are great together and for each other; they needed each other!But alas, like all great love stories, someone always has to plant the seed of doubt. Cali, thinking that she is doing what is best, decides to leave Carter and help him see how much he is giving up by staying with her. Luckily for us thou, Carter is smarter then your average joe! He is able to reach her and tell her that his staying isn't just because of her, he has weighed his options. Being in Steeple with her is better then anything else the world has to offer and if a great offer should come calling, then they will discuss it together because being together is far better then being apart.What a great story and second book in the Steeple Town series. Ella's words flow eloquently and this story as all the elements you look for in an Ella Jade book... sexy, intriguing, stimulating, riveting, captivating! Love was most defiantly discovered with this book. Thank you Ella!!
