"A great start to a new mini-series!"

I'm absolutely hooked on Jill Shalvis and her incredibly sexy books including this one!

After being dumped by her third fiancé, Suzanne Carter has no place to go but she knows for sure that there will be no more men for her! She needs a cheap apartment and soon so she answers an ad for just that. There she meets hunky Ryan Alondo when he jumps out of a tree right in front of her.

Then she meets Taylor Wellington, an ex-heiress who was living off her grandfather's money until he died and only left her with the building with no money for renovations. Suzanne and Taylor instantly bond because they have both sworn off men.

But Suzanne underestimates Ryan and his powers of persuasion especially when the tree falls onto the roof and right into her apartment. Ryan saves Suzanne and there's an instant attraction but Suzanne resists all the way kicking and screaming! She won't go down without a serious fight. She doesn't know that Ryan will do almost anything to get under her skin. So how long will it take for him to finally wear her down?

I absolutely devour all of Jill Shalvis' books and this one is no exception. Not only were Suzanne and Ryan great characters but Ryan's family and Taylor all made this book an interesting read! I eagerly look forward to the other books in this mini-series as I am sure they will be equally enjoyable!
