Another accidentally deleted review

This book is the exact type of story that made me fall in love with Samantha Young’s writing when I first read her On Dublin Street series. Caleb Scott really made me want to punch him from the very first time we met him. But I could see the sexual tension jumping off the pages as I read, and with their first connection on their layover, all I could do was wish I could be lucky enough to have a hot Scot for just one night myself! (Sam Heughan, anyone?) Ava had really been given a raw deal with her ex, and the more details we got about that whole situation, the more I respected the fact that she was able to take herself out of that situation and not look back on her ex with longing.

Of course I assumed, as one would, that Caleb’s aversion to commitment and more, probably had to do just with him being a man. I should have known better, should have known that Young would have the perfect back story for Caleb. And of course once we heard that back story, it was no surprise the direction that Caleb took their nonrelationship-relationship in. I cried at that part. The same kind of tears I’ve been brought to with other books by this author. Again, even with that part, I had the thought in my mind of how I just wish I could come back in another life as a character in one of her books. The men may be only after sex, at least they say they are, but they are honest about it up front. Besides that though, they are caring, and gentleman, and stick up for their woman no matter what.

Also similar to other books by this author, there were some great side characters. I don’t think this will be a series, but I would love to read about Ava’s best friend Harper, or Caleb’s brother Jamie. Whether it is the two of them getting together, or finding love with someone we don’t know yet, I’d be happy to read more with them.

One more thing, don’t you just adore that cover?! And that title! This book is perfection all around!
