When love drives you crazy . . .

When sexy Joe Malone never calls after their explosive kiss, Kylie shoves him out of her mind. Until she needs a favor, and it’s a doozy. Something precious to her has been stolen and there’s only one person with unique finder-and-fixer skills that can help—Joe. It means swallowing her pride and somehow trying to avoid the temptation to throttle him—or seduce him.

the best thing to do . . .

No, Joe didn’t call after the kiss. He’s the fun time guy, not the forever guy. And Kylie, after all she’s been through, deserves a good man who will stay. But everything about Kylie makes it damned hard to focus, and though his brain knows what he has to do, his heart isn’t getting the memo.

… is enjoy the ride.

As Kylie and Joe go on the scavenger hunt of their lives, they discover surprising things about each other. Now, the best way for them to get over “that kiss” might just be to replace it with a hundred more.

Review:

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

I have no idea why I gave 4 stars to this book instead of the 5 I thought I did. I think this is the way my brain chose to tell me that the book wasn't perfect, but I still enjoyed reading it. I liked the book. When I think of it while trying to write this review I remember the wooden penguin that's missing, Kylie's bad choices of outfits when she didn't want to be recognized and her dog, which sounded adorable despite the snoring. The book had a lot of great moments and I was very happy when I was reading it. 

My favorite character is going to be Kylie. She is feisty, smart and the kind of person that I would like to have into my life. She is a great heroine who doesn't complain and doesn't think she can do everything on her own when that is not true. She acted perfectly in this book and she now has a spot in my heart. All the characters that appear in this book (with the exception of a couple) made me feel like I was a part of their cycle because they were already familiar to me through the previous books and I liked seeing them again.

I know it's bad, but I enjoyed the way the villain tormented Kylie. I don't know why, but I couldn't be mad at the person who was staging those photographs. If a friend of Kylie's did this for fun I might have even laughed and that's the reason why I am a bad person. I loved the penguin's ending though. It was a very sweet scene. The rest of the book was light-hearted and sometimes funny. 


In the end, the book is good. Joe might not have been the greatest hero, now that I think about it, but he was at least on my good side. I think he might be the reason behind the absence of the 1 star. Anyway, the book was good and I enjoyed it, so I would recommend it. It can be read as stand alone, so don't worry about having to read the other books first.
