About the author
Crystal Green
203 books82 followersPseudonym for Chris Marie Green and Christine Cody
A long time ago, in a land far, far away (Milwaukee , WI , St. Luke's Hospital), Chris Marie Green (also writing as Crystal Green) joined the world. While moving to Southern California, Kentucky , then back to California , she amused herself by writing poetry and short stories featuring the ultimate Alpha males--Superman and Indiana Jones. Later, after graduating with a B.A. in English from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo , Chris decided to become a professional writer.
While she wrote, Chris worked as an eighth-grade teacher, but resigned in 2002 to pursue writing full time. Her critique partners, Sheri WhiteFeather and Judy Duarte are instrumental in her endeavors. Without these talented authors, writing would be a lonely road.
Chris is pumped about her Vampire Babylon series for Ace, which is best described as "noir fantasy-mysteries" featuring a vamp hunter. The first five books, NIGHT RISING, MIDNIGHT REIGN, BREAK OF DAWN (which compose the first trilogy), plus A DROP OF RED and THE PATH OF RAZORS (the first two books in the second trilogy) have already been released. The sixth, DEEP IN THE WOODS, will be on shelves on March 2, 2010. A Vampire Babylon-related novella was released in an anthology entitled FIRST BLOOD. (Note: The Vampire Babylon series uses trilogy arcs to tell one basic story, much like the way JK Rowling used seven books that didn’t solve every plot thread book-by-book to tell Harry Potter’s story. While each individual novel focuses on a central mystery that’s solved by the end, the three books together build character and mythology arcs/mysteries until everything culminates in the third book. Each trilogy repeats this pattern.)
Chris is also writes Silhouette Special Editions ("home and hearth" tales of redemption and community) and Harlequin Blazes (steamy fantasies), and whenever she can, she travels, including backpacking trips in Europe and road trips in America . She also enjoys yoga, hiking, and way too much movie-watching.

meh. It looks like most readers couldn't be bothered to write a review. College reunion, the one who got away. An almost connection that went sour because of a prank she still blames him after all this time even though she knows he didn't do it. She judges him for his reputation on hook ups in college but she herself is a "independent girl on the go" and that seems to mean hook-up up all the time because she's afraid to get to close to anyone. It's all the fault of her footloose parents who moved around so much she never learned how to, what have relationships, I guess. It feels like it's putting too much dramatic emphasis on a childhood, that she has to overcome. I don't know how the guy is into her when all she does is be bitchy and push him away every time they get close. What ever her reasons and it's great that she learned to recognize and overcome them but she's awfully lucky her man put up with it long enough to get her stuff sorted. Also their is the set up to a sequel which is intriguing and a maybe sequel of the other friend that is in more detail in this that is not intriguing at all. I just want to snap at Dani to communicate with her finance and let him know what she's feeling and tell her that just because her life doesn't appear to be as glamorous as her friends doesn't mean she has to change herself and imitate them.

I really enjoyed this book. It was fun, sexy, and felt genuine. I liked the characters, the romance, and how things took some time to develop between Margot and Clint.
The other characters really added to the story, and I liked getting to know them - especially Dani and Leigh. They were great friends to Margot, but the reader also got to know them enough to be interested in their lives. It would seem that something exciting is going to happen with Leigh, and I hope she has her own story coming.
This book was very entertaining, and I am looking forward to more stories from the author!
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. Thank you!

This book was GREAT. Usually I can read a book and might or might not want to read the sequel. This one made me want to read the sequel as soon as I read about the secondary characters. I loved everyone in this book, I cared what happened to all of them. And I so want to know what happens with Clint's brothers, and the secret admirer, and the wedding. I could not put this book down, I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. This book completely sucked me in and I had to read it all in one sitting. Loved it!

This is a college reunion story. Ten years later, feelings are still hurt and prides are still bruised. Clint is willing to let things go, but Margot is made of sterner stuff. She is maybe a little too unforgiving or unwilling to let things go due to pride.
The story progresses nicely and the conclusion satisfies. There are a couple of background stories happening at the same time, that will probably be resolved in the next book.

I love Margot and Clint, two people so afraid to take a chance on each other. But in the end love triumphs.
