Since starting this series, I've been anxiously awaiting the story of Suz Jefferson and Ryder Jefferson. Suz's has been the one of the driving forces (get it, driving as in racing-ha ha)to Tamara getting married and Imogen getting engaged. But having witnessed Suz's in action, I did not expect that when it was her turn, she was going to just follow the advice of her two friends. And she did not let me down. She would not just talk to Ryder about her feelings. Every other character in the book, aside from Nikki and Jonas who are too wrapped up in each other, can see they still love each other. Suz's is a spitfire. She uses inappropriate language around Tamara's kids, which Hunter loves to repeat, and drinks. In other words, a gal close to me. While Suz appears to be the type of woman who does not care what others think, she has a great heart. She bakes cakes for kids in hospitals on thier birthday.
There has been sexual tenison between both her and what she thinks is her ex-husband Ryder. In the book it is referred to as unfinished business. They soon find out that their is also some other unfinished business, they are not divorced. Ryder thinks it's great. He wants another shot at marriage to her. Suz is not so sure, because she does not want to back to things the way they were before. She wants change, but she does not express her feelings to him. She keeps everything bottled up inside.
Once they admit to the unfinished business, things really pick-up. They have sex and Suz's get pregnant. Yet another reason in Ryder's mind they should stay married. This puts Suz over the top and she says no. It looks as if they will never work things out until the wedding of Nikki and Jonas. Ryder finally corners Suz and confesses his love and his desire to stay married.
Of the many things I liked about this book, was how we get Elec and Ty's point of view on the romance between Suz and Ryder.
I also like how education is important to the lead female leads. Tamara is a professor, Imogen is a graduate student, and Suz decides to go to law school.
On page 219 I liked the line, ". . . she needed a man who put forth the effort all the time, not just once a year." Don't we all?
While I liked Suz and Ryder the most, Ryder sometimes really bugged me. Sometimes I thought he was a big jerk and then at other times I felt sorry for him because Suz was so hard on him. I loved him tasting the cakes and when he was drunk. I did not like him when it took listening to Jonas pratice his vows to realize what he did not give Suz.
This has been my favorite of the whole series up to this point. I just got the following two and can't wait to read them.
