Determined to change his footloose and fancy-free image and become more responsible, he attends a restaurant start-up course at the local university and feels head-over-heels for the reserved yet sexy instructor, Olivia Bishop. Newly divorced, Olivia has decided to live life to the fullest and have fun while doing so. Jamie is more than eager to fulfill any and all requests. A delightful feel-good read. Jamie and Olivia's relationship starts out as "lust at first sight" and their chemistry is off the charts. While Victoria Dahl certainly knows how to write a steamy sex scene, Jamie and Olivia's romance soon develops into more as they both stretch their boundaries and grow as individuals and as a couple. One of the best aspects of the characterization is Olivia's backbone of steel when it comes to dealing with her narcissistic, self-indigent and manipulative ex-husband. The confrontational dynamics between the Donovan siblings, especially Jamie and Eric, are realistic, and there were moments when it seems that the animosity may ultimately shatter the family. It is clear that older brother Eric really needs to loosen up and it looks like he will meet his match in the final installment - looking forward to it. Fun story of an older woman who is getting back into the dating scene after her husband divorces her for a younger woman. I loved Jamie. He was super hot and charming and he knew it but he was still vulnerable. He had issues from his past and problems with his older brother. The relationship between the hero and the heroine was well developed and felt real. I'm going to have to look up the other two books in the series and read them. I don't think I have ever seen a family more full of such bullshit. Really. I almost put the book down after a couple of chapters. The characters were blah. They didn't have any depth. Their relationship was based solely on the physical side and then, all of a sudden, feelings were developed. I don't think I'll read Eric's book right away because he's been pissing me of royally since the first book. no reviews | add a review
