What if a zany rom-com like The Proposal was set in an Ivy-League academic biology department but it had a 10 minute halting first time hardcore sex scene in the back third.
It was a fun read and gave me insight into what (some) ladies fantasize about (tall, dark, handsome, smart, jacked, competent, healthy, fit, patient listener, grumpy with a heart of gold, protective but not smothering, who praises, craves, and practically worships the protagonist, respects consent but simultaneously gently challenges her to go beyond her comfort zone, loves giving head, and oh yeah, has a huge horn). The writing is pretty breezy and clever in a cutesy adorkable way, but there is the occasional strange detail or turn of phrase (e.g. he could fit her entire breast in his mouth).
