Mia Appleby finally has the life she always wanted. She's escaped her trailer trash childhood and built a nice life for herself with a marketing job and a cute, little condo. But no matter how much baggage she's ditched from her past, she still hasn't managed to shake her greatest weakness-men. So when her new neighbor turns out to be single and oh-so-sexy, Mia's worried she's playing with fire . . .
Kevin McKnight can't get enough of his gorgeous neighbor, but after one amazing night, she's already showing him the door. Something tells him this is the way she handles most men. But Kevin is far from your average guy-and he's ready to prove it to Mia. When a blast from her past shakes up Mia's life in a major way, will she stick with her self-sufficient solo act . . . or take a chance leaning on Kevin's strong shoulders?
I have read a lot of Jill Shalvis books in the past few years. She's become one of my favorite authors because she seems to have what it takes to suck me into her books, make me laugh and give me romance i want to read without bashing me in the head with it. Ok the sexy men and really cool kick ass women don't hurt either. Her Sexiest Mistake is a reissue but it's also one i hadn't read before so i was excited to read it. Mia came from nothing. Sometimes it seemed to her less than nothing. Yup she lived in a trailer and her mother only thought about men and what they could give her and her older sister followed in that same path. She wanted more so as soon as she could, she left and started to get the things she wanted by working hard and not giving a inch. Then she met the gorgeous neighbor down the street Kevin McKnight. He's a fixer and wants to help her get over herself and her issues. When her niece shows up out of the blue and rocks her perfect world Kevin is more than willing to help her handle her new situation. He'd like to do more than be her friend and sex partner extraordinaire if only he can knock down the walls around her heart, but he also has to learn he can't fix everything and everyone. He can't seem to fix Mia no matter what he does. Mia struggles to find her way and when it looks like she's going to lose everything she finally sees what's right there in front of her. This is a fun sexy little book. You have your hot stand up guy, your mixed up scarred up girl and the comic relief brought on by the secondary characters. A heart tugging story of love and learning to let go and live for what you want. Everything you need in a good book!

I love Anthology books. Sometimes i know all the authors and sometimes i know none of them or a mix of both. In this one though i had only read one author previously and that is Jill Shalvis. Her being in this makes it a must buy for me hands down. I of course was not disappointed. Even in novella form Jill Shalvis delivers a part fun part emotional story with a sexy hero and of course it's Lucky Harbor. Win for me since i love the series. I've been hearing about Kristen Ashley books so i was excited to read her contribution. I had to admit i was a little lost because it seems her novella is part of a series and i have not read it. I still enjoyed it and just guessed at some of the back story. Since reading this i am looking more into Chaos series and bought book one. The other three authors i have heard of but haven't read either and it was interesting to try them out as well and see if i liked their writing style. Hope Ramsey's addition touched my heart. Such a sweet story about giving this a 2nd try and finding love. Molly Cannon's novella was fun and fabulous with a bit of a seemingly stick in the mud accountant and a full of energy organizer extraordinaire named Dinah. Last but not least is Marilyn Pappano's A Family For Christmas. Jared and Ilena will tug at your heart strings as well in this novella. Jared moved away from his disapproving parents to be a pediatrician in rural Oklahoma and didn't expect to fall in love with a sweet sexy elf with a baby and a bit of a sad story. Overall I enjoyed all the short stories in this anthology and i would recommend it to anyone who hasn't read these authors and find out what you've been missing.
