Rating: 4 out of 5

THE STORY:As we are about hit the midway point of the series, things are really starting to get exciting. The storyline has developed quite nicely, with progress occurring in several plot points.After putting and end to her and Matt's so strings sex, and then accepting a date with his arch enemy Cal Carson, tension is high at the office. And Mac's supervisor Lorraine, is only making thing worse with her bitch of an attitude. Matt is stubbornly trying to ignore his feelings for Mac, but it's clear he's not happy about Mac's date, and being the guy that he is, he finds a way to get Mac's attention (not that he didn't already have it)Sawyer Bennett throws us a major curve ball at the end of this episode, something that I seriously didn't see coming. I was left a little shocked at the turn of events, and that just shows what a great writer she is.THE CHARACTERSWe are yet to see much of the gentle side of Matt, that I just know is lurking behind his emotionless facade. But in this episode he struggles to hide his growing emotions  for Mac. I fell we've hit a turning point with his character and we are going to see a more caring Matt in the next book.Mac is a very stubborn character, in a good way. I love that she doesn't want to settle for an emotionless relationship with Matt and even though she can't stop thinking about him, she tries to move on with Cal Carson. She shows her determination, with her not giving up in her dead end court case, and doesn't let Lorraine's attitude get her down.Cal Carson, seems like a sweet and kind man, who could be perfect for Mac. He's friendly, attentive and most importantly he's interested in pursuing an actual relationship. However, after Matt warms her off him, we know he's hiding a secret, and it's only a matter of time before we find out what makes Mr Perfect, not so perfect after all.THE ROMANCE:So far the connection between Mac and Matt and been very much based on lust. But after Matt sees Mac on a date with Cal, Matt's green eyed monster comes out to play! I have to admit there is something sexy about making a guy jealous, and hopefully this will give him that little push he needs to finally realise he doesn't want to loose Mac. We must wait and see…THE WRITING:The pacing in all these episodes has been fantastic, with each one finishing with a small cliff hanger. The ending in this one…gahh it was excellent and sets us up for what I feel will be the turning point in this series.FINAL WORD:This is my favourite of the series so far and I can tell it will only get better from here. The ending was a surprise & very emotional and has left me salivating for more!!CONTENTSexuality: medium-strong / several descriptive sex scenesViolence: noneLanguage: mediumDrugs & alcohol: mildMore reviews thereadingrealmblog.blogspot.com.au
