Searching for Perfect by Jennifer Probst
5.0
Move over all you alpha billionaires, bikers, bad boys and rockers, there's a new man in town and he wears glasses, a pocket protector and a lab coat. But don't let that wrapping fool you, there's an alpha man just waiting underneath to be set free.
That's right folks Jennifer Probst has perfected the Alpha Nerd!
Ladies, let me introduce you to Nathan Ellison Raymond Dunkle. Yep that's right his name is actually NERD. He's messy, and he's naive. He's awkward and he often puts his foot in his mouth. He is also brilliant and he studies women's magazines in order to better relate to them. He's not just interested in landing a couple of easy one night stands, he's ready for a wife and a family, but the road to meeting them has not been easy. So he enlists the help of the matchmaking services of Kinnections where he is immediately attracted to Kennedy.
Kennedy has a secret shame that keeps her from staying in long-term relationships and has her hiding from the girl she used to be. She sees a challenge when she meets Ned, quickly making him go by the name Nate instead. As she embarks on the journey to make Nate over, both physically and socially, she can't help but start to notice that beneath all that awkward lies a sweet heart of a man who just needs some guidance.
Meanwhile, Nate isn't afraid to show, and tell, Kennedy on a regular basis that he is attracted to her and would like to maybe try dating her instead of using the matchmaking service. Kennedy doesn't think that anyone should have to endure her heartbreaking past, so she constantly turns him down.
Then one fateful night Nate steps in as her knight in shining armor and Kennedy opts to let him help her try to forget about her past, that night and everything in between.
"I'm not a saint, Ken. I've wanted you for a damn long time, but you don't have to promise me sex to get what you want. I'll hold you and kiss you and keep you safe, and you can go home in the morning. Don't offer me something out of guilt."
And oh how good he is at making her forget. I swear to god this sex scene is probably the most educational and HOT scene I've read in a long time. The way Nate describes everything as he does it is strangely and inexplicably erotic. I have already re-read this scene at least 10 times since I finished the book. I think pretty much the whole thing is highlighted on my Kindle. Plus, it helps that Nate just happens to be super, well....um....
"Umm, Nate?" "Yeah?" "You're very...well endowed." He grinned. A totally masculine, seductive, "curl your toes and surrender now" kind of grin. "The more to pleasure you with, my dear." "Or kill me." "I'll make sure you're ready first." His eyes gleamed. Three orgasms beforehand should do it."
Um...hold on. I need a minute before I continue.
Ok, but seriously, how hot is that?!?
The next day Kennedy freaks out and Nate chooses to not push her into anything before she is ready. She continues to fight the attraction and all of the feelings she has for him by pushing him into other dates and reminding him that she's no good for him.
Will he give up or will he fight for her? Will she give in or did she just push away her soul mate?
You need to read this to find out and trust me when I say that you won't be disappointed. Go, read. You know you want to.
