Talk about an embarrassing introduction. On her first day of law school, Kailyn ran - quite literally - into the actor she crushed on as a teenager, ending with him sprawled on top of her. Mortified to discover the Daxton Hughes was also a student in her class, her embarrassment over their meet-cute quickly turned into a friendship she never expected. Of course, she never saw his betrayal coming either...

Now, eight years later, Dax is in her office asking for legal advice. Despite her anger, Kailyn can't help feeling sorry for the devastated man who just became sole guardian to his thirteen-year-old sister. But when her boss gets wind of Kailyn's new celebrity client, there's even more at stake than Dax's custody issues: if she gets Dax to work at their firm, she'll be promoted to partner.

The more time Kailyn spends with Dax and his sister, the more she starts to feel like a family, and the more she realizes the chemistry they had all those years ago is as fresh as ever. But will they be able to forgive the mistakes of the past, or will one betrayal lead to another?

Helena Hunting is a hit or miss. I'm so glad I was pulled in by this cover and gave it a chance. This book was a complete all around hit. I loved, Dax, Kailyn, and Emme. So much so, they kept me up until 3:30 in the morning. Once I started I couldn't stop. 

This trio had me giggling, sighing, laughing, smiling, and even tearing up a bit. 

The characters were definitely kickass. All likable and strong in their own ways. All able to stand on their own. No weak links here. :)

I loved that Kailyn didn't take any BS. And while she could be a spitfire, she also had a heart of gold. I totally girl crushed on her. I truly thought Kailyn was a badass heroine. Even when she's hiding something that would become a conflict of interest. I couldn't find it in me to even be angry with her for not confessing sooner. 

Dax was a great hero. I fell easily for him. His charisma captured me immediately. His chase and determination to make Kailyn his had me rooting hard. But it was the love and protectiveness for his sister that really endeared him to me. Absolute book boyfriend material. 

I loved the fun, flirty banter. I loved the tension. I loved the snark. I loved the challenge and the chase. And let me just tell you, when D and K get together, hell even just in the same room together, the sparks will fly! Their chemistry was delicious and off the charts. 

And while I loved Kailyn and Dax, her and Emme were the heart and soul of this book. The two of them together melted my heart. Girl power rocks. 

This book was an over all sweet, entertaining read, with minimal angst. Thank you, Ms. Hunting, for not drawing out the conflict. Thank you for making the forgiveness easy but not so easy the character would be construed as a doormat. 

I highly recommend it. 

P.s. One of my favorite parts was when Dax went on about his and Kailyn's Meet Cute. I loved seeing the guy gush over it vs the girl doing it.
