Amelia Stone is a mess of a person, making all the wrong choices. She moves in too fast with her new girlfriend which causes her a lot of heartache, and also a car accident where she meets Finn Douglas, a kind paramedic who reaches out to make sure Amelia is fine after her accident. What starts as a friendship ends up becoming a friends-with-benefit situation and lots of feelings get mixed in the way.

What's most enjoyable about this book is that the meddlesome people around them aren't that meddlesome and Amelia has to realize mostly on her owns she's making all the wrong choices. Finn definitely needs more help, but she's also the one that has more sense than jumping to live with someone only after knowing them for a few months.

The sex scenes are great and the main characters have a lot of chemistry. The romance might have needed a bit more time to work, mostly because Amelia starts the book very much moving in with another woman. Then again, maybe Amelia is just like that.
