Craig spent years floating through life on cruise control, using directionless jobs, his rock band, swimming, and a string of older women in his bed to smother feelings of loneliness and loss. He finally thought he had found his true love in one Sara Thornton -- A sexy, beautiful, fellow real estate agent and mentor. But his self-doubt and innate sense of failure is only reinforced when he realizes her heart belongs to another man.
When Sara introduces him to Suzanne, a woman fighting her own demons from an abusive marriage and subsequent feelings of inadequacy and deep unhappiness, that simple, chance moment snaps Craig's hazy existence into crystal-clear focus. A bond of instant physical attraction, nurtured by time and shared experience, and plenty of erotic energy, is born.
As Suzanne's past continues to haunt her, making her push Craig away just as he thinks he's getting closer, each of them must come to terms with their true selves and face their ultimate realities.
I really loved this one alot. Alot alot. So glad l was awarded w/ the ARC! I'm torn btw which one is my fave, this one or the last one, Essesense of Time. It was heartwarming, tearkerking & humorous. Real life like no other. I can't WAIT for the next one!
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.This book was top notch ! Passion and I mean real hot blazing erotic passion,fantastic characters,superb storytelling and true stunning work !
I loved every second of this fast pacing romance packed novel. It was the first time I read something by this author but I will be coming back for more for definite sure !
The characters were written with such emotion that it was one of those where I experienced the "oh I am going to slap him so hard or strangle this chick " moments during more than one scene.
The only drawback that I had was that this was book 5 in a series and in certain scenes seemed to be taken from previous books and it left me a little lost.
But overall a definitely excellent read !

I abso cant say enough about this series. This book is another amazing addition to an already addicting series. I loved Craig in books 1 2 and 3 and was sooo ready for his HEA. I also fell in love with Sus in book 4 and so this book was very highly anticipated for me. If you know and love the series like I do then you know Liz will not dissappoint!!!

Conditional Offer by Liz Crowe is the 5th book in the Realtors Series;
first please do not try to read this book if you have not read the first
four books in the series, second if you have you are going to enjoy
Conditional Offer; oh third if you have not read the Realtors Series by
Liz Crowe, read Floor Time, Sweat Equity, Closing Costs and Essence of
Time then read Conditional Offer. Conditional Offer tells the story of
Craig Robinson and Suzanne Baxter, two not so secondary characters in
the Realtors Series. Much of Suzanne's backstory was told in Essence of
Time; this book lays out Craig's backstory and then relives many of the
critical scenes from the series through Craig's perspective. It was
enjoyable and often heart breaking to relive the events through his
eyes. You now really understand Craig knowing Sara was not his meant to
be. The characters in this series have overlapping and intertwined
relationships that again will not make sense to someone picking this
book up as a stand alone but those reading in order will develop a
larger understanding of events that is captivating. This book then
moves Craig and Suzanne's story forward. You gain such an understand of
Craig and his desires to push Suzanne past the horrific events of her
past. The passion between Craig and Suzanne is undeniable but will they
be able to take the final jump and embrace each other... well for that
you will have to read the book. I am a reader who truly enjoys
understanding why characters behave a certain way and why things
unfolding; Liz truly delivers on both. I also love seeing how things end
up... and on that Liz delivers as well. Liz great job; now more than
ever I am looking forward to reading Escalation Clause book 6 of the
Realtors Series, releasing in November 2012.
