This book started steamy and kept on going! But not just steamy, so much laughing and banter and it kept me turning pages because I had to know how they’d get past all the things between them. There was a ton of fun and hilarious banter, some really clever innuendos, and so much drama with the big obstacle between the two main characters. While it wasn’t a “short” story, it did really only take place over what seemed like a few days/weeks. And honestly, there didn’t really seem to be a way that either of them could win with what they were trying to do without the other one getting hurt. So I do really like the way the author had that all happen and how things were handled in the end. I don’t want to say more, because it will spoil the story for you. There were also a lot of almost epilogues at the end, even if they weren’t epilogues, just the story suddenly moved past those quick few days or weeks into more of how things were being solved and the two of them getting to really know each other past their one night stand which turned into more than one night before it all blew up.

At the end, in her note, the author mentions that while this was meant to be a standalone, Case’s brother-in-law Jared kind of spoke up and gave her ideas for his own book, and I am all there for that!
