Pete Toleffson was assistant Polk County attorney in Des Moines. His job was so stressful it was making him sick. He never took time off for a vacation. He was forced to take a week off to be best man at his brother’s wedding. He had trouble leaving work problems to others. He ended up dog sitting for Cal, fending off his sister-in-law’s intent to sabotage the wedding, and being liaison with his overbearing mother and an estranged older brother. The attraction to the maid of honor was uncanny.

Ms. Benjamin has, once again, written a winner. This second book in the series was, if possible, even better than the first. She told the beautiful story of Janie and Pete while extending book one’s upcoming wedding. The way she meshed the two storylines together was wonderful. This book introduced a myriad of characters but the number did not add confusion to the plot. Each person was believable. There were several sub-plots (love stories) intertwined. The entire compilation worked so well. The problems encountered were so real it was as if I was personally involved.

I loved the flow of this book. I had trouble putting it down. It had sensuality which was electric. The ending of the book was another surprise in this book of constant shocking revelations. I highly recommend this book. Read them in order. I hope there will be other books to explore the other brothers and townsfolk.
