I'm still laughing queitly to myself from reading this book. It has everything I'm looking for in a contemporary romance. It's a friends to lovers story involving two strong, independent, smart, flawed but amusing characters. The pacing was even and the story well plotted - twists weren't telegraphed, which really delighted me. The sex scenes were sensual and passionate though not salacious and gratuitous. This appears to be the second book in a series, but I didn't suffer from not reading the first (Yet!). Ms. Scroeder really brings the funny as well - Thankfully she includes the recipe for a chocolate cake that is featured prominently in one of my favorite scenes.The secondary characters are strong, the setting well drawn, the dialogue witty, and the ease of immersion great. The ending was satisfying though it did leave room for more books.....Looking forward to those.*I received my copy from NetGalley.com in exchange for an honest review.
