The female lead of "Clusterf*@k," yarn store owner Misty Hansen, was introduced in the previous book of the series, and she was one of the highlights of that story for me. I was really looking forward to getting to know her better in this book. Early on, I found her stubbornness to be somewhat bothersome; while I totally understood and empathized with her desire to fix (and pay for) her own mistakes, there was something about the way Misty kept refusing her family's help that seemed rude to me. Once I got past that, however, I really appreciated her strength, determination, and kindness. She wore her heart on her sleeve, and it was quickly captured by swoon-worthy private investigator Chance Jackson.
I really liked Chance and Misty as a couple, though in some ways it felt like everything came together a bit too easily for them after they started dating. Their one true conflict, when Chance disappeared for two weeks after their first date without telling Misty that he'd be away for work, was resolved quickly, and after that their only "fights" were over silly things like how to split bills after moving in together. Fortunately, there were some unexpected plot twists to keep things interesting, and I enjoyed the way Misty and Chance handled them together.
While the previous book of the series remains my favorite, I enjoyed and would recommend "Clusterf*@k" for all fans of contemporary romance, romantic comedy, and even light romantic suspense. I look forward to the next book in the series.

About "Clusterf*@k"
clusterf*@k
noun
1. A mismanaged and chaotic situation
2. A complexly muddled mess
3. A disordered and hectic condition
4. Misty Hansen’s life
Lonely. Alone. By herself.
The top three ways Misty had to describe herself—and it was no coincidence they all meant the same thing. She was single, almost pathetically so. It had been so long since she’d been with a man, she wasn’t sure she could even remember what it was like.
Hell, dust might float out if she took off her pants in the presence of the opposite sex.
She was also well aware that she was lucky to have a place to live, a great brother, and awesome friends. She should just be content.
But then she crashed into Chance—literally crashed—into the gorgeous man’s SUV, totaling it, and managing to cause damage to her brother’s house, all in one fell swoop.
It was a total clusterf*@k.
Because then the man ended up totaling her heart.
