Her heart was guarded…
Tormented by self-imposed guilt, Dr. Lena O’Donnell has spent the last nine years in survival mode. Struggling through days that seem to blend together and battling her way through each horrifying night, she’s determined that this is what she deserves…
Until he tore down the walls…
Mason Langley’s life is going exactly the way he planned it, until her. A confirmed bachelor and the successful owner of the hottest restaurant to hit Chicago, he never expects to be blindsided by an angry woman in a pair of scrubs. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t seem to shake the doctor, and he finds himself liking the way she makes him feel.
Almost over night Lena finds her world turned upside down by Mason and the sexual desire they discover together. Slowly, she lowers her guard and invites him inside but when tragedy strikes she begins to believe that sometimes it’s better to be alone and safe than to love and lose.
3 1/2 HEARTS!
Plot: 40 points
There were some parts I liked about this book, and some parts I didn’t. Parts I did like: Sexy doctor, sexy cook, enemies at first, lovers in the end! That’s pretty hot. Parts I didn’t like:**SPOILER** There is a part in the book when Mason is a little…lost so to speak. That part aggravated me a bit. There is also a sad part in the book that I didn’t like either. But the sad part brings them closer together and drives the book home!
Characters: 15 points
Lena: Sexy doctor. Mason: Sexy cook. I love the way the are constantly bickering at first, and then finally realize how much they like each other underneath it all. Great relationship development between them! I also liked Mason’s mom. She adds a lot to the book.
Names of characters: 4 points
Lena: meh. Just OK. Mason: Sexy! So a hit and a semi-miss. Still loved the book though!
Writing/Depth: 25 points
I loved the humor in this book and the way Frank was able to transform their relationship. Frank also did a great job with the rollercoaster ride of emotions they experienced. The only part I didn’t like, like I mentioned, **SPOILER** was when Mason was off the deep end for awhile.
TOTAL: 84 POINTS
