BOOK REVIEW for "Show Me (Me series, #2)" by Abigail Strom

****(4) out of 5 stars!

SYNOPSIS

“Houston, we have a major attraction.”
After years of dealing with a heart condition and an overprotective mother, Airin Delaney is finally having her first taste of freedom in Waikiki—and it’s intoxicating. But it’s nothing compared to the out-of-this-world attraction between her and astronaut Hunter Bryce. Airin is determined to shoot for the stars and experience her first real kiss.
All Hunter has ever wanted is to explore the universe. That is, until a certain black-haired, wide-eyed beauty shakes him to the core. Hunter knows almost nothing about Airin, not even her last name. All he knows is that she’s the kind of girl he could fall over-the-moon in love with. Unfortunately, the timing couldn’t be worse. While Airin is celebrating her first night of freedom, Hunter is celebrating his last—before embarking on an eight-month mission.
It was only supposed to be one night. But sometimes that’s all fate needs to change two lives forever. 

REVIEW

I loved this love story!  The attraction the author generates between the two main characters is so strong that you can feel it coming off the page as you read.  That they were both such unique individuals in rather bizarre circumstances made the story that much more intriguing.

Things definitely didn't go how I would have expected at several different junctures.  This kept the story intriguing and interesting throughout the book.  The fact that we were bascially following Airin as she experienced so many new things in life also kept things fresh.  

"Do you know what your grandmother would say if she were here?... Don't fall for a pilot."
"It's too late, [Airin] said.  I'm a goner."

The fact that Hunter is the big brother of Caleb from "Tell Me" went totally unnoticed by me at first, despite reference to their relationship and situation in the opening segments of the book.  But once I realized that, it made it all the more fun to read.   

"I want to try, with Airin.  But I'm afriad I screwed up too bad.  I'm afraid it's too late."
"I've got an answer for that, and it comes from you... You said as long as you're alive, you can fix anything."

This is definitely a book that I would recommend.  In fact, I wish there were more brothers so that there could be future installments in the series.
