This is the third book in the Malibu & Ewe series. Cassie still feels lonely even after finding her two sisters, Juliet and Nikki. She wants to meet their sperm donor father. She has to rescue Gabe after a drunken night again. She decides that is enough. She is tired of him wanting to kill himself because he cannot get past his wife and child's death in a car accident.Marlys chases some kids away from Cassie's knitting shop. They were trying to set it on fire. A few weeks later there was a fire at the shop. Someone is breaking in or trying to destroy things for the three ladies. What is going on?Marlys sees ean again. She thought he was still in Afghanistan. But he was hurt and came home. She is relived that he cannot remember what happened between them. SHe is still torn up byt her father's death. Maybe she will finally come to terms with it.Gabe finally starts things with Cassie and they are happy for awhile until he gets depressed again. Will they ever be happy together?I liked this one. I need to go back and read the first one. I liked how Marlys is trying to change things. She is so unhappy but loves Dean so much and thinks that she doesn't deserve love. this was the weakest out of the three novels. this one is the story of cassandra and gabe, the one that had been building in the first two books, and it totally fell flat. the story felt forced and then there was the stupid twist/mystery that didn't fit at all with the story line or the feel of the series. it was like ms ridgway decided 3/4 of the way through she wanted to write a mystery so squished one in there. and failed.cassandra and gabe's story also didn't mesh. it was contrived and flat, which is disappointing because cassandra had the potential to be so interesting.and the epilogue was stupid and annoying.
Too much sex, too little plot. Disappointing. The end gets ridiculous.

Basically lady porn. Fairly entertaining quick read.
