Somebody to Love Book Review

I started a new series and I was trying to make sure that I kept it in order but I really had a hard time keeping track of the books in order.  Somebody to Love: A Cupid, Texas Novel by Lori Wilde was the third one.  I finished it and wished that I could start the next in the series but I had to head back to my sheet of paper to see which book came next and see if I got it out of the library.

Sexy cowboy-scholar Jericho Chance always knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. And after sauntering back home to Cupid, he’s shocked to discover that he wants Zoey McCleary. After years from home, he takes one new look at his bubbly best friend, with her lightning smarts and luscious body, and it hits him like a bolt: she’s his somebody to love and he’s not leaving town again without her. Settling down always seemed like a time waster to Zoey, a man magnet with a trail of broken hearts behind her. She’s not meant to settle down—but how can she resist someone as persuasive as Jericho? There’s no way they can ignore the explosive chemistry seething between them . . . even if it means risking their friendship . . .

I thought the mystery and intrigue in this book was really interesting.  It was like the movie where you want to yell at the screen that they should talk to each other because the two main characters both have pieces to the puzzle that might help the other figure things out and they are best friends but going through a lot of transitions in their relationship.  It was interesting to see how the best friends Jericho and Zoey change when they realize that they should be together.  Jericho is working towards his full time position at the local school teaching archeology but his past means that his stipulation is that he can't get involved with any students.  Zoey has decided to go on the archeology dig which is Jericho's trial run at working for the local school.  The tough part is that she is out of money so she has to get special permission to get the money out of her trust fund and the limitation is that if she quits, she will not get any more money from her trust fund so there is a lot on the line.  I thought that this was a fun book that really had you on the edge of your seat.  I had a hard time putting it down because I always wanted to know what was going to happen next.  I hope that you check out this book and see if you enjoy it too.
