***I RECEIVED AN ARC IN EXCHANGE OF AN HONEST REVIEW***I really enjoyed this book. I read book 1 in this series, No More Wasted Time, a while back as a freebie I picked up on Amazon so when I saw there was a book 2 featuring Tom's assistant/niece, I jumped right on it and I was not disappointed. In this book, everyone is headed to Greece for the wedding of Tom and Tess. Shayla is fed up with life. She feels like she is not as good as anyone and her supposed loving boyfriend, Mat, is too interested in his work and family to even notice. Mat and Shayla haven't been intimate in weeks. He is always traveling and never has time for her anymore. And if that isn't bad enough, his mother absolutely despises Shayla and will stop at nothing to tear them apart. When she feels like things couldn't get worse, Mat proposes to her in front of his family at Thanksgiving and she doesn't answer him. Mat is too interested in politics and gaining votes that he doesn't realize Shayla is not happy. Needing a break from him and her life, she packs up and runs to Greece for Tom and Tess's wedding. What she didn't expect was the sparks and chemistry that she and John have...John is Tess's oldest child and son. His life has kind of been standstill and repetitive ever since he lost his father. He, his mother and his two sisters only had each other left so they stayed close together and John assumed the role of man of the house. Now that his mother is marrying Tom, he couldn't be happier and begins to live his life a little more freely. While in Greece, he and Shayla connect on all levels. When he finds out about her boyfriend and the proposal, he asks her to give him one weekend to prove they have chemistry and what it takes. Shayla eventually agrees and this is when the sparks started to fly!Will Shayla finally leave the safety net of Mat and have a bright future with John? Will John push Shayla out of her comfort zone and prove to her he is worth the risk? Will John and Shayla finally get the happily every after they deserve?I really enjoyed this book. John was so sweet, kind, caring, and total animal in bed! Shayla was also awesome and I really felt for her. She did not have the best childhood and all she wanted was to feel safe and loved. I love how John wanted to get to know her. I also loved how he waited for her because he knew what she had to do. There was a slight twist towards the end that had me on my toes hoping everything was good and thank goodness it all turned out ok!I also loved the ending. Super freaking sweet and I can't wait for the next book in this series! This book is a follow up to "No More Wasted Time" by the same author. Once again a great love story with steamy sex. Shayla's Tommy's niece not sure what to do when asked by her boyfriend of two years to get married. While attending her uncles wedding in Greece she meets Tess' son and feels a pull and spark but you will need to read to find out what happens in the end. Another book is coming spring of 2014.
