This book had everything I love in a contemporary romance.
The Hero was a hard working, family oriented, healthy, fit and sexy man who thought he didn't need a relationship. He had beasts to fill his needs. I can't say I was that fond of his term "beasts" for athletic chicks he hooked up with when he finished a marathon or triathlon and was on an adrenaline high. Then he saw her, talked to her and even though she wasn't his usual type he really, really liked her. She made thing hard for him, literally. Every time he saw her he wanted to rip her clothes off. She also made thing hard for him emotionally because she was too busy to have a relationship and told him that frequently.
Lots of back and forth between the couple, with Matthew being a lot more invested in their relationship than Lauren. It takes a long time for Lauren to realise that she is serious about Matthew and it did frustrate me quit a lot. She talked herself into thinking that her work goals were more important than her happiness and the relationship developing.
Really, really good sexy bits. After their first encounter I knew this author was heading towards my - Favourite Contemporary Author when I need a pick-me-up, list.
Kate Canterbary, take a bow, nice work and keep them coming.
