What do you get when you mix an ex-Marine and a single mom who helps take care of her elderly neighbor? And give the characters a past that they are not too proud of, but yet make them seem very real and approachable? It's the latest book from Susan Mallery called Irresistible.
Walker and Elissa are not really interested in having a relationship - both are in the "we been burned or hurt before" mode. She is trying to make it on her own. He is a new neighbor. But circumstances intervene and they become friends. And to their growing astonishment, they find they want more.
This is a great story - with good secondary characters that lead the reader to believe that there will be sequel, for he has several other siblings. Well written, with humor - and the plot moves along, and best of all, the leads seem real with problems and doubts like the rest of us. Very satisfying, and I'm looking forward to the other siblings' stories.
