I discovered Catherine Bybee when I was presented with the book Not Quite Dating in November of last year. I loved that book and added Catherine to my list of authors to watch. Since that time I have read and reviewed several more of her stories and she has cemented herself as one of my favorite authors. I simply enjoy everything she writes.

When I won this copy from the author, to say I was ecstatic would be a gross understatement. I couldnt wait to finish the book I was already reading so I could dive into this one. I have been fascinated with the strong silent Neil and the chemistry that has been brewing between him and Gwen throughout this series. This book was fantastic.

Gwen and her roommate Karen end up finding dead birds and trouble with the neighbors while Neils past comes to haunt his present day. Torn between duty and his unrequited feelings for Gwen, the stoic Neil is forced out of his comfort zone to protect the one woman he cares about.
Ive loved the first two books in this series, but this one was the best in the bunch so far. It was quite impossible to put down with characters too wonderful to describe. If you dont fall in love with Neil and Gwen your heart is made of stone. They are perfect for each other and the type of hero and heroine that makes me come back to the romance genre again and again.

This book has action, romance, mystery and plenty of sex. Its practically perfect in every way. There are character updates from those we have come to know in the previous books and we get to know Karen a little bit more, too. I am hoping she gets her own happily ever after, soon. I am aching to know what makes her tick. I think she is going to be a multifaceted character and she needs a strong man. Maybe Rick??

This book is a keeper and I cannot wait until the next one comes out. Im loving her books!
