Audience:18+ due to sex and adult situationsCharacters:Carly:  Recent college grad with nowhere to go once school ends due to past conflict with her older sister and parents. Single.Macon: Brown haired, blue-eyed, ladies man and dive instructor. He hates his boss but loves (platonic) his childhood friend and roommate Maddy.Secondary: Colin, Carly's older brother and the only person in her family that stuck by her. Maddy, Colin's girlfriend bartender and Macon's roommate. Brody, Maddy and Macon's other roommate and gourmet chef. Kim, Colin and Carly's sister that doesn't talk to them anymore. Max, Maddy & Brody's boss at the Grille.Plot:With nowhere to go after graduating college due to family conflict, Carly shows up unannounced at her brother Colin's house hoping to crash for an undetermined amount of time. While hanging with her brother and his girlfriend, hopefully soon to be live-in, Maddy, Carly is reintroduced to Maddy's hot roommate Macon. They are instantly attracted to each other but Macon stays away after being warned to by her brother and both of his roommates. Desperate for a job and to get out of her brothers place she ends up working at the Grille with Maddie and taking her place as Macon & Brody's roommate. Can they keep their relationship friendly or is it in the stars for them to go further?The Feels:This was a light-hearted, sweet read. I loved reading more about Colin and Maddy and the direction their relationship was headed. Carly is a likable character, not at all whiny or needy. Macon seems like he could be a real player but it's obvious he's just been waiting for the right girl to come along. I loved how easily their relationship developed, without much conflict but slowly over time.The Writing:Told in first person, alternating POV's this story was well written and plotted out. I can't wait to read Brody's story. At least I assume we'll be getting his story? I hope so!Quotes:"You were too hungry for sex yet you have the energy to shower?""Let me get this straight. You were completely comfortable having sex with Macon, but you're too afraid to tell him you like him?"Additional Info:This could be read as a stand alone but it's more fun if you are already familiar with Colin & Maddy from their story in Shaken Not Stirred.*I received an ARC from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review
