My Review:
I really enjoyed this book, is compelling, two protagonists with a strong personality and the perfect mix of romance and suspense.
The protagonists of this story are Grady and Sara. He has just returned from a mission in Ecuador. While he was away his former girlfriend had destroyed his apartament because of an extreme exhaustion. He decides to apologize to her neighbor and remains stunned by the beauty of Sara. The attraction between them is very strong but she is hiding and it is not the ideal time to start a new story.
Grady is strong, brave and very protective, the man every woman would want at her side. Sara is sweet but very determined. They make a couple with a very strong chemistry. Too funny and entertaining the two elderly neighbors who watch Sara.
This is the second in the series but I do not believe it is essential to have read the first to enjoy this one
It was a fun and sweet read, full of humor and suspense.
Highly recommended

EXCERPT:
“Why didn’t you say something? You could’ve given me a
heads-up,” he replied.
“I’ve spoken less than a dozen words to you over the last
year. I wasn’t about to come over and have that be our first conversation. I
figured you knew and didn’t care.”
Agnes shushed them from the other side of the couch. “You
two be quiet. I can’t hear anything.”
“Turn up your hearing aid,” Sara called out.
Grady sat back and wondered when his life had started to go
down the toilet. Being notorious was never something he thought would happen.
And yet, here it was. The show finally caught his attention when all three
ladies sighed and clapped their hands. “What just happened?”
“The one she’s interested in confessed he’s falling for her.
They just kissed for the first time,” Sara responded.
“Don’t get too excited,” Gladys said. “She doesn’t end up
with him. I checked out the website with all the spoilers, and she doesn’t
choose him.”
“Don’t tell us any more. I want to be surprised,” Sara
responded.
“You know this is a scripted show. None of this is real,”
Grady whispered.
“That kiss he just gave her was about as real as things get.
Trust me…I know.”
That was a fairly cryptic comment. He studied her for a
moment and remembered what Dane had said about her having a lot on her plate.
It was time to get to know his neighbor and see what she was all about. It
seemed fair, since she’d been in the front row of the freak show that had been
his life for the last several months. Plus, she smelled good. Grinning, he
settled back and watched the show. If he’d been a betting man, he would have
placed money on Sara not having an ounce of drama in her life. He moved his arm
along the back of the couch and looked forward to spending time with the girl
next door.
