She out did Measure of a man (the prequel) never thought she could. I read this last night in 4 hours I just could not put it down. Wow!

A quest for love.

In fact she was expecting him to 'pop' the big question...but what she gets is being dumped for another woman. But Joey refuses to give up and it's while she's in the midst of one of her schemes to get 'Larry' back that she meets hollywood director Ryan Donovan. Now Ryan has been experiencing his own 'little' problem which seems to reverse itself whenever Joey is near. Being quite amused and attracted to Joey, Ryan decides to 'help' her get her man back. Join them as they travel from the west coast to Milan, Italy on their quest for love. When You Were Mine is the second book in the Adams Sisters series and you will not be able to put this book down until the last page is turned and the last word is read. Whether you're an Adrianne Byrd fan or new to her books you are in for a treat.

FUNNY AND SMART 5+STARS.

In book two of the "Adam sisters" We have screenwriter Joey Adams who ASSUMES that her boyfriend is going to pop the question. Why you ask? Because she has been snooping and found a receipt for jewelry and besides it's Valentine day. Well everyone know what happens when you assume. Joey has been dumped, the ex "Larry" has a new women, and has moved on. Joey is not going to give up on her good man. So Joey has a chance meeting with Hollywood Director Ryan Donovan. Please try if you can to read this scene when they first meet without laughing. Ryan figures Joey is just prone to mishaps, but that is what makes her so likeable. So Ryan figures out a way to help her and get a little help with his "problem" Ryan tells Joey he will help her "PRETEND" like they are engaged to make Larry Jealous. Keep in mind Joey is not sure if Ryan is a friend or Foe, but because of certain circumstance Joey has agreed to his offer. Besides Joey is GOING to get her man back? The cat and mouse of the book made it such a fun read. The plan works a little too well. Larry wants Joey, Catalia wants Ryan, Ryan wants Joey, and poor Joey is just confused. Adrianne does a good job and making the whole book funny and smart. Plus you get to catch up with the rest of the Adams Family. I read it and thought this would be a good movie that I wouldn't mind spending 9 dollars for. There are so many touching moment's as well as some truths for everyone besides Joey and Ryan. Joey grew up and found the real love happens right before your eyes or in a bathroom. My only complaint. Hurry with the rest of the series.

Too funny!

This book was hilarious! This book played out like a movie to me. The Adams' sisters are a trip and a half. You have Joey who goes through all of these funny and outlandish things to try and win her "ex alomst fiance" back. While she is up to her antics she meets Ryan and he decides to help her win him back. Both Joey and Ryan get caught up and try to decide on their feelings for each other. They are H-O-T together and also they make a fun pair. Their bantering is priceless! And Ryan wasn't half bad either. Also you get the check in with the rest of the Adams clan and the book rasises some questions so you know another book is in the works. Definite recommendation.
