Christie Ridgway writing style reminds me of Jill Shalvis a bit. You have the three Baci sisters and your fair share of side stories that keep you wanting more of this book. A fabulous read.
What do You think about Aşk Tutulması (2011)?
Cute! But I found myself more drawn to Clare and Gil than the main Characters.

It really deserved 3.5 stars. Good story but the beginning was confusing.
