A loan shark that doesn’t bite?
Rachel Beaumont discovers her mother’s gambling debt has put their family in danger of losing their money and social status. It’s up to Rachel to do anything to maintain the lifestyle she’s accustomed to—including hunting down her mother’s debtor. But the green-eyed, dark-haired, hunk known as Rex Greene matches none of the stereotypes of a loan shark.

This was a wonderful sequel to Written On Her Heart. Paige Rion knows how to do it! And by do it, I mean she knows how to write. She is great with characters, plot, scene, love. I really enjoy reading the words Paige puts on the page.
This book left me liking Rachel. In the first Callaway Cove book, I hated Rachel. I thought she was a snobby bitch. In this book, I really liked her. I understood why she did what she did in the first book. I liked getting to know her and going through the familial problems with her. When her and Andi first talk in the book, my heart felt for Rachel, which was such a weird feeling. Because in the first book I was screaming ‘Rachel, you’re a bitch! How could you do that to your friend?!’ But when in Rachel’s head, I felt for her. Way to go, Paige for making that accomplishment!
Rex, or should I say Colton. Mmm, he’s dreamy. He has this confidence about himself that is just so yummy. When he takes Rachel to a wine tasting he has this whole elaborate talk about how it is up to Rachel on how many tasting trays there should be. If she chose one that means that there was a probable kiss at the end of the date. If she chose two then she probably doesn’t kiss on the first date. And the whole time I’m just thinking to myself, ‘Smooth move.’ I loved it.
“And now that I’ve laid out these assessments, if she chooses to share, I must only assume that I am definitely being rewarded with a kiss at the end of the night. So…” he said, turning his attention back to Rachel. “Which is it?”
I think that Paige did an amazing job on this second installment. And it was so cool getting the perspective of Rachel and learning to love Rachel. If you’ve read the first one, this second one is a must read. If you haven’t read the first one, do it! And then read this one! It’s a sweet contemporary romance. And I am awaiting the third book!
