A Major Seduction (Good To Go #2) by Marie Harte

Description:

Major Mike Cava has done his best not to see Maria Thompson as anything but his baby sister’s best friend. Not an easy feat when Maria’s done her best to throw herself at him for years. But now that’s he’s returned to the East Coast and with his family again, he feels easier about handling little Maria.
Except in the two years since he’s seen her last, Maria has grown way up. Good God, she’s stunning. But now that he’s really seeing her, she isn’t seeing him. No more jumping into his arms or smiling and flirting. A bland hello and she’s leaving to go hang out with some other guy. Oh hell no.
Maria spent the past fourteen years mooning over a man who never saw her as anything but a little girl, and she’s done. Or so she tries fooling herself. She’s twenty-four years old, and it’s past time she grew up and over him. But now Mike’s giving “those” looks. He’s acting jealous. And she realizes that she’s not over him yet, and maybe one of her old plans to stir his interest might work this time around.
With the help of her best friend—Mike’s sister—and his younger brother, she’ll prove she’s more than woman enough to handle him. His dominance, his kink in the bedroom, his huge, hot body. But just when she thinks they can make a go of it, he pulls back. She can’t do it anymore. Loving, being hurt, loving, being ignored. This time if Mike wants her, he’ll have to prove it. She’s done. 
And he’s just realized he might have made the biggest mistake of his life in pushing her away...

My Review:

***Complimentary copy provided by author/publisher for an honest review.***

Maria is what you could call almost obsessed about Mike and even though it is cute, in the beginning it is a little creepy lol. I do love how she goes about doing things though and find her enthusiasm refreshing. You also have to give kuddos to the bff who not only helps her with her plans all the time apparently but also supports Maria when she needs picking back up. The book begins with the two ladies being teens and picks back up when Mike has returned home and Maria is older. Maria has it in her mind that she is going to be over Mike. Why want someone that doesn't want you back...right? Then there is a family dinner and things begin to change. Mike has always tolerated Maria having a crush on him, he thought it was cute, but now that she seems indifferent to him, he is beginning to see her in a different light. When he overhears a very steamy conversation between Maria and her date he almost blows a gasket. 

This is where the book begins to get steamy and sexy and oh so hot!! I always love Marie Harte's way with words in her love scenes. Those alpha males are usually so typical and yet with her books she gives it just that bit of edge that is different and sexy. I love these characters and the way we have a glimpse into their lives, and I cannot wait to read the next book. After a glimpse at what is to come I am almost quivering with anticipation. Overall I would rate this book in at Four Stars!!!
