As romance novels go, this is safely now an all-time favorite. It takes a bit for the spice to arrive, but when it does it doesn't stop. It's a sweet story with lovable characters and an engaging narrative. One of the things I love most about this book is that it's completely sex-positive and involves both partners demonstrating consent both initially and as their relationship progresses. I also felt that the alternating first person perspective was important to the reader's experience of the story and very well executed!

1/4 star deduction because Cassie's awkwardness is a bit over-dramatized for a good portion of the beginning of the story which was frankly hard to read and almost bordered on making her unlikeable for me. ALMOST.
