OK, once you adapt your mind to overlooking the editing issues (and it takes some work) you’ll find a good story here. Emmett is a young, handsome, sweet country boy who is practically perfect in every way, except for the fact that he sweats like a beast (Eww. Insert yuck face here) He also suffers from a little low self-esteem because he's been rejected a few times. Alex is an up and coming professional who works at the local bank in Tatesville and has practically adopted his best friend, Hale. When Emmett’s mom asks him to drive her to the bank, she notices the way Em and Alex are staring at each other and decides to play match maker. The two hit it off immediately and are perfect for each other. And for the record, Alex finds the sweating sexy. (Additional yuck face) They only encounter a few minor bumps in the road, like Emmett’s homophobic uncle and semi-homophobic brother, but that’s fine because not all love stories have to be chocked full of angst. Em’s whole family, other than those 2 idiots, is pretty likeable.As far as Hale goes, he is a complete jacka** who as far as I’m concerned could’ve been left out altogether. He’s selfish, rude, and inconsiderate, and is the cause of Alex nearly being assaulted (and in my opinion the cause of Emmett’s as well). Hale is set up to become the love interest for Em’s cousin Bumper, but they might as well have just left Bumper single.At the end of this book, instead of the epilogue being about Emmett and Alex, which would’ve made more sense, it introduces the storyline of the next book, which is about Emmett’s uncle Elijah and Oscar Hernandez.
