I'm up at 2am because I had to finish...what does that tell you?
Full review when I've slept and my brain is functioning again.
*~*
Alright, it's the next morning. I'm not sure my brain is functioning 100%, but I'm going to try.
Conn? Holy crap. The patience of a saint, the body of a God. What more can you ask for? Every move he made was a plus in my book, and I could read about him forever and a day, and then some more...maybe if I read about him enough he'll manifest? (P.S. I'm choosy about my book boyfriends...I don't have many, but Conn is officially on the list).
Nia frustrated the crap out of me, honestly. Don't get me wrong, I adore her and think she's great in all the ways Conn thought she was...but the back and forth she put him through really made me want to shake her sometimes. Especially when she ruined the night of the awesome gift...BUT, once she got her clue I was happy as a clam. I could totally see Nia as my friend and the throttling I want to give her would be out of love...The only thing missing here was a friend to do that...Sara was there, but not THERE...and Nia didn't seem to have many friends. I would have loved for her to have a real gal pal. (Rereading this I think it sounds like I didn't like Nia as much as I really did. I did understand her pain...she got burned...I was just all the way in when it came to Conn...so I got a little frustrated. I do love Nia. :) )
I loved the two together, their chemistry and the way everything worked when they managed to let themselves enjoy the moment. The smexy scenes were smoking hot, and there were plenty of them without being "too much" (yes, I know...but it CAN happen).
The story flowed really well, and everything that happened seemed natural (except those last two road blocks...by that point I was ready to weep. The gift especially, more than that date...although Conn's handling of the date made me laugh out loud).
This was a fast read and in the midst of a handful of books I'm having to force myself to finish...this was definitely a winner! I can't wait to read Icing on the Cake and see what happens for Sara and Curtis!
I'm so glad I shoved this ahead of my miles-long TBR list...and have a feeling I'm going to do the same with Icing on the Cake. I really liked Karla's writing style, her humor, and the story itself.
