| In
this second book of the Crazed Devotion series, we follow Liz and Elle's
life. We see what things were like for them as children. We then turn forward to after Liz met Ben, Ryker's buddy from the Marines. I love the play between Liz and her little sister Elle when she shows up at the bar. I love Khloe! Her no-nonsense attitude and the observational suggestions that she gives to Ben are a hoot. When Ben takes Khloe's suggestions to heart and does what she suggested, it is so fun to watch Liz be out of her element. What happens when Ben shows up with Khloe and a girl named Shauna at the bar? What hoops does Ben have to jump through in order to try to win Liz's heart? Can he do it? Does Liz ever open up to Ben about her fears and what has her so skittish about getting involved with someone? Will these two be able to find a way to come together? You need to read this book and find out. I really enjoyed the play between the characters in this book. Lots of fun to read! |

“There is a tall, handsome and might I add dreamy hunk of a man waiting just outside for you.”
I tried not to laugh at the wide-eyed expression of the teenage girl standing in my doorway. She was awestruck apparently, and the way she was smiling had to cramp her cheeks.
“Did you get his name?” I asked, already knowing who it was.
Her smile faltered as she looked over her shoulder, then back to me. “I forgot to ask,” she said in a high-pitched voice. “I guess I was distracted.”
It was my turn to smile, “Believe me when I say I know exactly how that can happen.” She looked a little relieved. “His name is Ben, and you can send him in.”
With a nod, she stepped out and within seconds he appeared in the open doorway.
“Good morning,” he said as he moved in and sat on the edge on my desk. His large frame practically swallowed up the surface beneath him. “You avoiding me again?”
“No.” I leaned back and crossed my arms over my chest. “I’ve actually been busy.”
He watched me closely, as if I would somehow show him I was lying. Arching my brow, I remained in place and his smile grew wider. “Have lunch with me.” It wasn’t a request.
“Busy,” I replied, holding up the stack of papers on my desk and giving them a little shake.
“Dinner then. I’ll even bring it to you if you can't get away.”
“What are we having?” I asked, still not yet agreeing.
“What do you want?” His eyes remained locked on mine as he gave me a mischievous grin. Ben and I had developed this little flirty game. In fact, we’d pretty much mastered it. I knew he wanted me, and I wanted him. That was never the issue. I just had to learn to get past my hesitance and fears of what could go wrong.
“Steak,” I finally said, ignoring the flutter in my stomach. “Seasoned vegetables and garlic roasted potatoes.”
“Can we forego the garlic? I kinda wanna kiss you later and I don’t want any excuses from you. If I add garlic into the mix, well, I’m setting myself up for disappointment.”
I couldn't help the laughter that bubbled up and spilled from me. “You’re insane.”
“For you, yes.”
