"A great read!"

Miranda Carter had a life altering event happen where she nearly lost her life. She had to go home to recuperate and when she got home she decided that she couldn't go back to her former life. So she opens up a dog training school next door to the vet's office where her best friend Penny works. She and Penny also are friends with Colin and Travis. They've been a foursome since grade school but nothing ever came of it except friendship.

Now Miranda thinks she wants to take things a step farther with Colin but isn't sure Colin feels the same way. Still Penny goads her into seeing for herself if Colin is interested. Miranda is oh so tempted but what will that do to the friendship and the foursome? Does Miranda want to risk all that?

Penny is attracted to Travis as well but he's rich and is a doctor and she just works for a vet. What does she have to offer him? Even though Travis asks Penny out constantly, Penny is very self-conscious of their huge gap in status!

Miranda sets up a seduction scene from a magazine but while Colin craves her, he refuses to go further because she used to date his brother Derek who was killed in an accident. He thinks that she is seducing him because of Derek. Miranda broke up with Derek just before he was killed and feels guilty about it. Even though it was a mutual break up she thinks she will be blamed. Then Colin is in an accident and develops amnesia. He forgets everything that happened that night. Then he's accused of sexual harassment due to something he supposedly did to his intern that very same night. What is he to do? He just has to get his memory back.

Miranda decides to fudge the truth about that night and tells Colin she seduced him. The problem is she gets further and further into her story and the story just keeps getting more and more complicated What will Colin do when he gets his memory back?

I'm sorry to say that I read this book in an hour and a half. I know it took Samantha Hunter much longer to write it but I just couldn't help myself. I was anxious to see how she would handle not only Miranda and Colin's story but also Penny and Travis' story. I'm happy to say that I was satisfied on both levels! Thanks, Samantha, for a great read!
