Johnny #2
Losing Johnny
Two guys. Four hearts. One major freakin problem.
You can't stop loving someone. You just can't. No matter how hard you try, who you meet, how many new lovers you get.
You just can't. You move on. You forget. But you never stop loving him.Ever.
On returning to New York from their eight month road-trip (which features a motorcycle gang that changes all their lives...), Cat's best friend Nicole takes up an acting class at the New York Film Academy.
It is through Nicole that Cat meets Tiago Espada, up-and-coming Documentary Filmmaker, ladies man galore--Brazilian, dark, tall. And confident. So confident. So utterly in-your-face, no-holds-barred deadly confident.
Tiago has never had a woman turn him down. And he soon finds his way into Cat's aching heart. And elsewhere...
But can a man like Tiago ever be tamed? And can he be tamed by someone as timid as Cat Ramsey?
Cat still loves Johnny. She'll always love him. But he's involved. They try and rekindle their deep friendship, but every time they talk, sparks fly. Dangerous sparks. And fires get lighted. Nicole has to put out the fires. Only problem is, when you play with fire...
And then there's Alice, mother of Cat. And now legal guardian of Nicole Fermann. Remember the bikers we mentioned? Well, so does she...

This is the first time I finished a book and felt that none of the main characters were likeable or had good qualities I could relate to. Please note this book ends with another cliffhanger.
In book two, Cat is still running away from her feelings for Johnny. She ran right into the arms of a disingenuous player, Tiago. The relationship between Cat and Tiago seemed forced and destined to fail from the beginning.
Secondly, if Nicole is the best female friend that Cat can find then I feel sorry for Cat. Cat laid to rest their years of feuding in high school over Johnny, took Nicole on her road trip of self discovery, allowed Nicole to live with her, and stuck by Nicole while she went to see her dad. And how does Nicole repay her friendship:
1. By secretly going behind Cat's back to talk to Johnny knowing she herself had unresolved lustful feelings about Johnny.
Cat finds out about kiss between Johnny and Nicole and confronts her. Finally, Cat is showing some backbone. Hip Hip Hooray!!!. Oh, but wait we can't have that. Just throw Nicole's diary at her and she will become the doormat she is destined to be and bless Nicole and Johnny having a relationship. (This is definitely a WTF moment. I read this portion several times, and to this day I am still in shock. )
After reading this book I don't whether I want to nominate the main character, Cat, for sainthood or slap her silly for being naive and making excuses for Nicole's deception.
Finally, I really can't describe how much I utterly detest Johnny in this book. He is one of the most conniving male leads I have ever read about in a romance book. To actively sexual pursue the best friend of the girl you are still in love with is despicable. Then he has the nerve to be mad a Tiago for cheating. There is nothing special about Johnny other than his father taught him how to make money. Unfortunately, he did not teach Johnny about integrity and honesty. Two characteristics he desperately lacks. Its going to take alot to redeem Johnny's character.
Now, I know why Johnny and Nicole are so attracted to each other. It's because both of them are duplicitous liars who do not mind betraying the ones that love them to get what they want.
Ms. Dunning has done an excellent of invoking emotions. I fell nothing but smoldering disdain for Nicole and Johnny. I somewhat like Cat, but she is just too trusting and forgiving.

**** 4 "I Should Have Known" Stars ****
Four people, four hearts, four sets of feelings that are about to be shattered.
I should have know with this title, my heart would get twisted.
I won't say much more about this one. This is book 2 in the Johnny series and they must be read in order.
Book 3 Taking Johnny I got a good feeling about this one! I think......or I pray!!!
