As you can tell from the title of this review...I fell hard for this book....
It had everything I love in a romance or any kind of book, for that matter...
You have the amazing central core of the O'Brien Family... Loud, Loving and mostly men who like to tease and torture each other while caring about whether everything is good in their world. Each family member has been fleshed out and we have been wanting to know all there is to know about every single one.

Wren O’Brien has been a huge point of interest ... as the only daughter... surrounded by all these Manly Men, Strong Parents and Tough Town...She has had to be one Strong Cookie...

And that is the outside image she has always presented in every way...Especially when she broke up with her ex. Wren being Wren, a tried and true Philly girl, would never let her family know what the real cause of the break up was...She was too embarrassed...too humiliated. Better to let it all go and move on.

And for Wren, she did... every day. She was a woman in control...She was the top notch sales person at the Ford Dealership where she worked. It was a "Mom and Pop" lot that had been her first job. Very quickly she moved through the ranks as the dealership grew... from doing the administration to being the top closer on the floor. Her honesty and straightforward way of communicating with the customers became legend. Wren had a wall of honors and photographs in her office... Rows and rows of happy customers...some, the children of past customers... all smiling and waving keys to their new Fords beaming out at her. Thank You letters and cards dotted the walls, too. All keepsakes and concrete proof of the type of woman Wren was...

If you look in the dictionary for Suave, Sophisticated, British James Bond Type and Opposite of Wren O'Brien....You would find Evan Jonah, Tech Genius. He was "Hotness in a Suit". A man who had lived a life of decorum, of serious business success at a very young age and had incredible loss and pain. This was a man determined to save the State Side Division of his late Father's Company. He was up against it...as there were factors which had been causing all kinds of wrong... and he was in Philadelphia to make things right.

What was not going right was the Jaguar he was driving on the snow slicked roads. It was only a matter of time before his luck would run out and he would be a casualty from the way these drivers were moving. Evan sees a huge dealership and makes the decision to get a vehicle that can handle this weather.

Wren is in the back of the showroom and sees the maneuvering of a crass salesman trying to take Evan away one of the newer associates who just happens to be a woman...The guy does this all the time and she will not have it.

As Wren gives this guy a What For... Evan is taking this all in...

He is captivated...
He is enthralled...
And he has decided this woman is someone he wants to know better.
Only problem...Wren doesn't date customers.

Although....this Evan is something else...
They have a lunch...She thinks of it as just "Closing the Deal".
He thinks of it as "Getting to know her".

And we are off ....These two... these supposed opposites...are perfect together in their differences...
She is afraid her ways and big family will scare him...
Little does she know, everything about her and her family is all he has ever wanted in his life...

And most of all...when these two are "Together Together", heh heh.... OMG... it is more than ANYTHING either of them have experienced before...They are equals to the core and bring out the best for each other...Wren allows Evan to feel... experience real passion and joy. Evan allows Wren to let her guard down and be herself...even the unsure part of herself.

There is more to this story then just this romance... there is a couple of subplots which are woven in and work perfectly. They are the necessary weight and intrigue for the read. We get delicious bits of the O'Brien family, their dynamic and love for each other. We see them look out for Wren and with the addition of Evan... it is engaging.

This series works on so many levels. We always have the main story with an O'Brien finding their person...but we also get bits and pieces of this family, causing us to want more...and the next entry is going to be a doozy.

Declan, Mr. Know It All, has finally met his match and can't seem to do anything right around her...

I. Cannot. Wait.
