GETTING ROUGH is the second book in the Monkey
Business Trio
Series and continues the enemies to lovers story of
competitive sports agents, Shaw Matthews and Cassidy
Whelan. Picking up where PLAYING
DIRTY leaves off, Cassidy
almost signed the most important client, which would
have gotten her the partnership she has worked so hard for,
but she declined and let Shaw have it. When Shaw finds out
that he was awarded the contract because Cassidy declined
it, he can not let her off the hook without an explanation.
Thinking
Cassidy felt pity on him for his past, and possibly his
current situation, he wants to give her a piece of his mind.
Unforuntately, he soon learns that Cassidy has left
California for her
home town in Maine. Not letting her get away so easily,
Shaw follows her to Stonington, Maine, a small lobster
fishing island town that is barely on the map.
Cassidy Whelan has come home to Stonington after receiving
the call that her Ma was in an accident and admitted to the
hospital.
Unlike her other visits home, Cassidy bought a one way
ticket with intentions to lend a hand at the family's
Breakfast and
Breakfast until her Ma can get back on feet again. A trip
home brings her closer to her best friend and ex-
boyfriend, Casey. Casey and
Cassidy grew up together so naturally the town
thought that they would end up together. When Cassidy left
for college and then California, Casey let her, always
hoping that she would come back home to him. The last thing
she expected was to find Shaw sitting in her parents Bed and
Breakfast.
I was hooked on this series after I read the first book
PLAYING DIRTY. The beginning of Shaw and Cassidy's
story is set mainly in the big city, this one is set in a
small close knit fishing town where everyone knows everyone
and there is only one cop for the entire town. Shaw and
Cassidy's relationship is evolving into something that
neither of them expected--love. Of course neither of
them wants to admit it. With new supporting characters and
an old love thrown in the mix, the plot itself is
entertaining. C. L. Parker's writing flows effortlessly
and makes the reader feel a part of the small lobster
fishing community. Her supporting characters are
well-developed and entertaining. And in true C. L. Parker
style, this book ends with a cliffhanger.
To say that I can't wait for the next book in the series to
come out would be an understatement!
