Caught in the Act (The Davenports #2) was second in a series but I didn't know that when I requested it. Book #1 follows Catherine's brother I believe so I'm not sure it's needed unless you want a fuller background picture. If you like contemporary romance and second chances at love, then I highly suggest you pick this one up. It was a fast read and though I didn't read #1, I followed most of the book with no issues.

Catherine Davenport has always played by the rules laid out for her. She fell in love as a teenager but they didn't last (we find out why in this book). Fast forward 18 years and her first love is living next door to her. We watch Catherine struggle with her past as it meets her present and see her finally grow up and stick up for herself. This was probably on the Nora Roberts level of smut so some heat but nothing raunchy or super smut-tastic. I enjoyed the book enough to put #1 on my TBR and not so secretly hope for a #3. The publication date is January 20, 2015 and you can preorder it at Amazon now. ( )

Loved this one! It's a wonderful second chance story filled with all the lies and webs of deceit political families deal with. At the core of the story though is Cat and Brody. Once teenage loves, torn apart when youth, circumstance, and family take over. Now reunited in a sleepy little town in Maine, can they put the past behind them to look to the future or will the pull of politics and family keep them apart once again. This is a great read that everyone should have on their must read list. I highly recommend it! ( )
