The Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams

Oh man, the build up was great and I wondered how a dual POV with characters so obviously pining for each other was gonna go - but instead of having a crazy crescendo of non resolved sexual tension things "escalate" and fizzle down all at the same time. I guess it's a cute love story, but the whole no-sex-till-marriage was super weird for me and out of character for them. I loved how the guy has the panic attacks and unresolved issues and she was the one who had been through it and knew how to direct him towards safety - in a very healthy way - and also how they joke about the cliché "fallout" at the very end and it stays drama free. It could have used like double the pages, tough, cause the extremely rushed plot kills it all.
