As the sparks between them ignite, she will be forced to choose between the security she’s finally found…and the passion she’s always wanted.

Review: I’m a huge Lori Foster fan, and as such I’ve read almost all of her books. That being said, while I’ve liked her last several books I haven’t loved them. In fact I was getting ready to take a break from her books, but I’m so glad I didn’t because I loved Getting Rowdy. It has everything in it that made me fall in love with books in the first place. Bad-Ass Heroes, and heroines who can and do take care of themselves.

When Rowdy was introduced in the first book, there was something about him that made me want more of him. When he first met Avery and the sparks flew between them I found myself wanting more of them then the actual hero and heroine of the book.

Because of the first two books we already know about Rowdy’s soft heart, but it’s really in this book that we understand the why of it.

And Avery is such a great heroine. She reminds me a lot of Luna from Just Say No Joe, one of Foster’s best books. I won’t say more than that because I want you to discover her on your own.

What I really loved about this book though was that the suspense wasn’t a major part of the story line. It didn’t fuel the relationship between Rowdy and Avery. It wasn’t the catalyst for them finally getting together. It did cause a little bit of contention between them, but because Avery is no simpering miss she takes charge in way that made me laugh out loud.

This is one of her books that I will read over and over, because it is just that good.
