All Fired Up

*I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* All Fired Up is the second book in a series but it can be read on its own, and the author even gives us a glimpse of the story of the first book. The story begins at the wedding of one of Cara and Lili's cousins and that is when we find out what happened at the night of the bachelor and bachelorette's parties which happened simultaneously and in Las Vegas. And what happened was that Cara woke up married to Shane, the new pastry chef in her future brother-in-law Jack's restaurant. When you put it like that it almost sounds like it's all in the family, doesn't it? You have no idea... Cara is not the impulsive type, therefore the thing she wants the most is to solve the mess she has gotten herself into. But Shane seems determined not to make her life easy and the longer they spend together, more the attraction between them increases. And it doesn't help the fact that they not only work together, but are now also neighbours... Cara and Shane are very different and, at first sight, a relationship between them would never work but, as they get to know each other better, and as such, we get to know them better also, it becomes evident that, even though they are very different, they are both hurt and with a past they fought hard to overcome. But it is only by confronting their past that they can move on to a future, preferably, together. I'm not the biggest fan of contemporary romance, but this one was just enough fun and sensual to give me an agreeable reading. The characters are very real and believable and the romance between them developed in a way I really liked, with them both realizing progressively of their feelings and of how much their lives had changed for the better with that husband/wife they never intended to have.
