review 1: WHAT IS WITH MIKE McCAULEY?Every time Delilah Webster runs into Mike McCauley, he practically bites her head off. The rough-and-tumble contractor clearly has baggage. Del has her own emotional scars and knows she's better off keeping her distance, but Mike's temptation in jeans and a T-shirt and she's always been good with her hands...There's something about the strong-willed mechanic that sets Mike's motor running-and scares the hell out of him. Mike has loved and lost and will never hurt like that again, even if that means walking away from a woman who makes him feel alive for the first time in years.When a simple kiss turns hot and heavy, Mike discovers he can't stay away, no matter how certain he is they're destined to crash and burn...This series has been really good ... moreand I’ve enjoyed all 3 books so far, however, I must admit I have been awaiting this one as the glimpses we have had of Mike and Del together intrigued me. I was not disappointed, this is my favourite of the 4 book series, in my opinion the best was definitely saved for last.Mike and Del’s story is by far the hottest of the 4 books and oh so good, who knew Mr Single & Responsible had such urges?!?! The chemistry between these two when it does explode is so well done that it’s seamless, the physical and emotional so well intertwined with Marie Harte trademark humour and banter that you almost miss, through the sheer panty melting hot scenes (with a touch of kink!), the friendship and emotional attachment that is developing between them.Mike and Del both have baggage that means neither is really looking for a relationship, one believes having had his ‘one’ there cannot be another and the other believes herself unworthy but when Colin decides to enrol the help of the family to get himself a new Mom and a new puppy you just know fun and games are going to follow! The McCauley charm honed by Ubie is irresistible and Colin is just adorable. The whole family show up as usual throughout the book and it’s like curling up with your favourite hot drink and some rich dark chocolate - decadent with a touch of naughty, totally irresistible and very satisfying! The overwhelming factor for me that makes these such an enjoyable read is the amazing banter between all the characters, primary and secondary. The affection, humour and love shines through, the teasing, flirting, arguing, dirty sexy talk and insults flung around through these books make them a pleasure to experience. Like every family they will frustrate and exasperate you – you will be rooting for them while screaming at them! In a world full of angsty contemporary romance where you sometimes want a palate cleanse these are a joy, they remind me of the reasons I love Jennifer Crusie, Rachel Gibson, Susan Anderson just to name a few. Authors I read in paperback but with the advance of the eReader, and therefore the popularity of indie writers, have not touched in a while. Marie Harte writes a steamy, sexy, damn fine romance but throw in her gift for the humour and banter and they are a winner for an easy read that will leave you with a smile, a warm heart and tingles in places!I commented previously that another factor was they are “real” - no billionaires, no rock gods, no MC bikers - just normal, real men with strong family values who want a good woman and a good life. Simple things that in reality we all want and, while I read contemporary romantic fiction and don’t mind the plausibility being stretched a tad, it’s a pleasant change of pace to read ‘real’ that could be any family, anywhere with its ups & downs, tragedies and celebrations. Just trying to get by day to day, working hard and playing hard.It’s an engaging series, well written with a fabulous quota of panty melting scenes all wrapped up in humour. My personal favourite is this one, Mike is just big, rugged, and a total panty dropper package, Del is a mix of sass and sarcasm, vulnerability and a huge heart, a perfect foil for Mike. Marie Harte has excelled herself with this series, her best contemporary romances to date by far….
review 2: ~*~My Thoughts~*~A 5 star rating I have been reading this series since the first book and I have no clue how Marie does it but each book is more awesome than the last. Every book is my favorite till the next comes along. Mike McCauley is for sure my favorite omg I loved him every second of this book. This storyline is absolutely amazing and I never wanted it to end. Mike and Del had me crying laughing and smiling like an idiot all through this book. I'm not sure if this is the last book in this series but if Marie wants to add some McCauley cousins in to this series I'm totally okay with. :)Received a complimentary copy from NetGalley for an honest review. less
