Closing the Deal (Wicked Warrens #2)

I love the Warren brothers. Love the interaction between them and their mother, which feels so real. Derrick, twin to Dylan, older brother to Gage, is the Warren that always wins the bet. He is the charming one, the one who always get the girls. Except Sydney. Best friend of Gage’s finacee, Sydney has Derrick’s number, and after a disastrous first date, she shuts him down. Cold. Derrick is desperate for another chance, resorting to seeking advice from his mother and twin, both psychiatrists. Normally, Derrick runs from any attempt at analysis, but he is willing to try anything for another chance with Sydney. What worked for me – Everything. Watching Derrick try so hard to break through Sydney’s defenses was charming, and heart warming. Sydney did not have a good example growing up of what a relationship should look like, and is determined not to turn out like her 6 times married, slept-with-Sydney’s-college-boyfriend mother. After settling the misunderstanding of their first date, Sydney is on board for sexy times, but not anything resembling LOVE. Derrick wants the whole works, and won’t settle for less. Derrick is a great hero, by turns charming, sexy and frustrated. Sydney is no wilting flower. She stands up for herself, and while she wants to believe in Derrick, she has deeply embedded trust issues. She and Derrick had chemistry for days. Just loved them. What didn’t work – Not a thing, Bottom line – Loved Closing the Deal. This is a great, quick read with lots of character depth, and a great deal of humor. Highly recommend. Time and money extremely well spent.

Perfect guy. Perfect girl. Families we can all relate to. From the very beginning, I just could not put this one down. Last thing I see b/f bed and first when I get up. ‘kinda sad it is finished now…

Yummy is the first thing that comes to mind. Derrick cracks me up. He is the hunky guy that is actually a big chicken when it comes to Sydney. She is a brave and sexy woman that knows what she wants, but has that insecure part to her that we all seem to have. Derrick has to rely on the advise of his brothers and mom to help him win her over. Of course Sydney lets him catch her. Marie always manages to make her characters human. I can relate to them and enjoy her books. I can’t wait for the next installment. Come on Dylan.

I gotta say, I wouldn’t ever have given him another chance. Having said that though, I loved them together and didn’t really understand why she fought him so hard. He clearly came to care for her and wanted to change his ways. A fun read, with good love scenes and supporting cast.

Marie Harte produces a guy meets girl adventure that is believable and sexy. Charming man meets scared girl and she makes him work for what he seems so determined to have thorns and all. The interaction between Derrick, his brothers and Mother is hilarious! While there is some baggage explored in this book it does not beat you over the head. This was a fun, smart, sexy read that has a great family dynamic and also helps you realize that family dinners even in fiction can be a mine field of epic proportion. Great book for the beach or for an afternoon with nothing better to do! Also check out her book about Derrick brother Gage, “Enjoying the Show”.
