In Tattered Love, we watched Mace and Scarlett fall hard for each other. We also saw his younger brother, Trip have one impulsive alcohol induced romp with her best friend, Teeny and now they have a little issue to deal with.

One night of stupid, drunken decisions and I'd royally screwed up years of carefully constructed friendship.

Teeny is tough, sassy, independent, and has a temper. Trip is bossy and crass, a bit clueless and immature. She was not sure she ever wanted to have kids. She has issues from her past that still affect her. His mantra was never be with a chick more than once, so he was certainly not looking for a relationship. 

But suddenly their worlds are rocked. And I was fascinated by the transformation of Trip. I loved seeing him go from Mr. "Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am" to Mr. "Protective". Trip totally had a soft side under those tats, piercings, and tough playboy persona. And he just melted my heart. Teeny had big walls up and lots of insecurities. No matter what poor Trip did it just never seemed to be enough. I fell in love with the big goofy oaf who had such a good heart and really tried his best. They had such fiery chemistry, but it also meant lots of fighting and misunderstandings. They were both stubborn, pigheaded and sometimes oblivious. But they had me laughing out loud especially at some of the things that would come out of Trip's mouth. And some of Teeny's hormonal fits were priceless. They went round and round and each one gave as good as they got. It was frustrating at times and  I wanted to shake sense into them. But in the moments where their guard came down, they were sweet and steamy.
