The story:
When we were eleven, Oliver Ford Pemberton dared me to jump off a barn roof. He said you couldn’t
break a leg from a 12-foot-jump.
He lied.
(You can also break a collarbone, which served him right as far as I was concerned.)
I wish I could say it was the last dare I ever took from him, the last bet I ever made with him, the last time I ever trusted Oliver Ford Pemberton.
But it wasn’t.
Because he had the nerve to grow up gorgeous, charming, and sexy. And as we got older, the dares only got dirtier—and the betting stakes higher—until finally, he left me in pieces. I swore I’d never talk to him again.
But twenty years after I took that flying leap, he’s back in my life, daring me to risk everything for him: my job, my self-worth, and my heart.
How many chances does love deserve?

How many chances does love deserve?
Alright, let me just put it out there - I'm not sure if I would have been as understanding as Chloe, our heroine, when it comes to the one hundred and thousand times that our hero lied to her or messed up or...whatever. Especially his lied made me furious sometimes. The moment I realized where we were heading in the story, I would have loved to kick some sense into him. Or just kick him. Either way would have felt great.Fortunately for the story, on the whole Chloe is much more understanding than I am even if that means that he has to prove himself again and again and again. At least, every time she jumped, he jumped with her -figuratively as well as literally. It started with broken bones, went on to broken hearts and shattered dreams, so, when Chloe has to turn to Oliver in order to realize her dream of a distillery, she is not exactly jumping with joy. Soon though their chemistry takes over again and once again Chloe opens herself to him... Will Oliver finally be able to be less than a douche and more someone who she can really depend on?
Well, if you want to find out about that, you'll have to read the book.
On the whole I really enjoyed reading the book even though sometimes Oliver's actions (or his lack of actions) drove me mad. The book itself is well written with a captivating story, a wonderful sequel to Irresistible, the first book in the Cloverleigh series that I also really loved reading.
