Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare

4.0

Lucy thinks that she's in love with Toby, one of her brother's friends. When she finds out that Toby is going to propose to another woman, Lucy decides to try to change his mind. Lucy ends up making out with Jeremy, another of her brother's friends, so that she can practice before she makes her move on Toby. Eventually Lucy and Jeremy fake an attachment, while dealing with their changing emotions for each other.

Jeremy is emotionally shut off due to a tragedy that happened in his childhood. Lucy gets under his skin and he slowly opens up to her. He's obnoxiously controlling in the middle, but does get better towards the end. Lucy is fairly immature at the beginning of the book, but does improve as the book goes on. She figures out her true feelings pretty quickly and the Toby part of the story doesn't go on especially long. Lucy and Jeremy have good chemistry together, and they are good for one another after they figure things out.

I didn't love the age gap. He was 29 to her 19, and they've known each other for 10 years. Nothing happens until the opening of the book and it's not brought up too much, so it's not a giant deal, but I wasn't a fan. I'm just tired of reading books with 18-20 year old heroines and older heroes. Oh well.
