I really like this cover. I am not sure it is a super good representation of the story within, but at least the guy on the cover is blonde like the hero! The composition is great, though. It's very bright and eye catching. Simple yet attractive typography. Nice use of a tagline as well as a cute graphic letting us know it's part of a series. It's also similar to book one's cover keeping a nice consistency going throughout the series.
Another super sweet addition to the MODERN LOVE series by this super secret author duo. This is Tahlia's story, and if you've read book one, then you know Tahlia is the sensible one of this trio. You also know how she got her heart broken. Technically this can be read as a stand-alone, but I recommend starting with book one THE BARTENDER. One, because it's simply awesome, and two you will get a fuller experience from this book if you already have the background on these characters.
As I said, this is Tahlia's story, and we are six months out from the ending of the first book. Whitney and Lennon have had it with her moping around and drag her out to a boxing match. There she meets a boxer named Lucas, and after a series of embarrassing (but OH SO funny) incidents, Tahl doubts she'll ever hear from him again. Fate has other plans in mind for these two, and soon they are reunited. What follows is a super sweet, smokin' hot romp from broken hearted to a happily every after.
As with the first book this one was well-written. It had a nice pace to it. It had humor. It had a TINY bit of angst. No OW/OM drama. Both main characters were likable. I was glad despite what Tahlia's ex-fiancee had done to her she didn't push Lucas away. They get together fairly quickly, and despite a small hiccup near the end things are pretty smooth sailing. Lucas was a sweetheart. Didn't appear to be a manwhore and was a likable hero. We also get some awesome secondary characters (I CANNOT wait for Lennon's book) and an OK epilogue. As this is a series, I expect we will see more from this couple in future books, so I was okay with the epilogue we got.
Not much more to say. Two thumbs up from yours truly.
