But when he got into a serious shoulder injury, he went on a soul-searching road trip to figure out what went wrong. He happens across Blue Bailey, walking alongside the road wearing a beaver costume. From there the two began to irritate each other with lying to one another. But Dean find that it might be more interesting to tag her along to his summer home in his farm in Tennessee.
Blue Bailey, an portrait painter, was on mission to murder, or do body harm, her ex-boyfriend after he made a call saying she was his inspiration, the only best friend he ever had and trusted. And he begged her to leave Settle and come to met him. Only she discover he left her a letter stating that he had fell in love with someone else. Then after she got thrown out by landlord and with no money or anywhere to go, she end up taken the trip to Dean farm house in Tennessee instead.
Both have common background, a abandonment issues in their pasts. Being neglectful by their parents. They searched for forgiveness, accepted and finding love again. Their romance push them to a deeper level about understanding each other.
I really love this book. It was very comedic fun but emotionally involved for me. At one point one of the scenes just made me sad for Riley, as she starved for attention. She made me cry. I like to think that Riley is the one who changed everyone life :) You will grow to love each characters as you watch them go through issues that needed to be confronted. I just love them all. It has plenty of funny moments too. I find myself laughing over thing Dean and Blue did or quoted all the time. And the romance between them were sizzling. I like the way Blue interacted with Dean's family. Especially toward his father, which has me laughing so much. I also like the way Dean interacted with Riley. Or how Riley interacted with everyone. There is secondary lover story characters that I enjoy also. And an old woman who you want to hate but really feel sorry for her.
This is the 7th books of the Chicago Stars series. And I love it as much as I love all the other previous books. I really like the way Susan's write and hope to see more of this series. The Chicago Star's gang are not always perfect but Susan have a way with making us love her characters in spite of all their flaws and flawless. I highly recommend you to read this series. They are all good :)
