I agree with the other reviewers. this book just isn't that great.
The heroine, Tuesday Jones, is a B*TCH with a drinking problem. Seriously, she always have to have alcohol with her and claims she will only have one, but it ends up being more. She claims it's becasue of her dad dying, but it appears to be more than that. The hero, Diesel is pretty nice though, way to good for her. (Seriously, Tuesday and Diesel???? What they heck kinda names are those?) About 1/2 through the book, I just couldn't stomach any more of Tuesday's snarkiness or drinking.
I have to agree with another reviewer (The Chase, Book 4 in the series) that I, too, will give up this author. I spent a few hours of my life reading this and it wasn't worth it.

I had to skip some parts this book in order to finish it. We find out that the "big surprise" from the previous book, was a non issue after all...Anyway, back to this one...I wanted the main character to get help for her semi-alcoholism and I didn't get it...she just simply moved on and ended up with the nice guy... I'm really sorry I bought this book.

Possible spoilers in this review:

I was really conflicted about this book. There were some fun moments and I enjoyed Tuesday's quirky comments, but the way she picked fights and lashed out was really annoying. There were times where I had no idea why Diesel would even apologize to her.

Just as they were both about to come to terms with their problems and do something about them, McCarthy slapped on a happily ever after ending. It was so sudden and really too fast for two people who were struggling with their lives. I think I said this in the last book as well, I wished McCarthy would have introduced "the big problem" earlier so we had the rest of the book to see how they dealt with it, especially because there wasn't much of a story. When the end came, I really had doubts that they would make it as a couple.

I liked that McCarthy revisited all the past couples in the series. It was nice to know what happened to everyone.

I would tell you to read this book only if:

1. You have nothing else better to do
2. You are a huge McCarthy fan and need to read all of her books
3. You are a fan of this series and just want to make sure you have all your bases covered

Otherwise, it wasn't really worth it. I didn't absolutley hate it but I just thought McCarthy could have done a better job.
