This is a signature Jill Shalvis: distinctive writing style and dialogue that just have that Shalvis thing that cannot be explained. Strong, silent Riggs, with strong, brash Tae who hides so much vulnerability. Actually not only her, but Riggs as well. It pays off when these characters get together, and learn to break down their walls, though often more than not, THAT happens in spite of themselves. Great secondary characters with strong ties that make you root for them.
Another hit from Shalvis, another one of hers that I read in one sitting. I'll keep buying them as long as she keeps writing them.
