Copy received from the author for an honest review

Yes! I have been waiting for this story since the second I finished the first book in this series, Offensive Behaviour.

You never know what you are going to get with a book from Ms Paton. No cookie-cutter stories from her, it is like a lucky dip each and every time.... and I love it.

Dev and Sarina have been circling around each other for years... well, Sarina has known what she wanted, but Dev really was the clueless man!

It has taken Sarina making a big life decision -without consulting him - to put a fire under his butt and get him to finally, maybe, make his move.

Not going to lie, for about 95% of this book I really didn't like Dev. The way he made Sarina feel for wanting a baby make me want to nut punch him. He was so completely selfish, self serving and pretty much a dick! The 5% I didn't hate him didn't have to do with Sarina at all!

I cried along with Sarina as she and her best friend drifted further and further apart. But my heart soared as Reid and Owen stepped up to the plate for her. I didn't think I could adore these two any more than I already did, but I was mistaken.

Sold Short was a much more emotional book than the previous two. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to hit certain characters over the head with my kindle for being such an idiot.

And it kept me wanting to turn each page to find out what would happen next.

Just one thing though... it may have been just a little tooooo much of the same fight between Sarina and Dev - maybe a couple of their fights could have been left out as they seemed to keep going around in circles - but that could just be me.

I can't wait to see what she brings us next.
