3.5 starsGrace & Trick are friends... only friends. But he's wanted more since the day he met her.Grace Love is a matchmaker, and she can match anyone and everyone. Except herself. The only guy she's had that tingle for is Trick. But Trick and Grace are friends. She's watched her playboy womanizing neighbor since she moved in and despite those tingling feelings he causes she's not going to risk their friendship.Trick has wanted Grace since the first day she moved in. But somehow he slipped into the friend zone. He's been patient, biding his time to make his move, but Grace just won't see him as anything more than a friend. He puts a plan in place to change her mind for good.First... let me just say, I'm not a fan of this cover. Normally I love the Brazen covers, but this one ... I don't know if it's the green or the couple or what, but the only thing appealing about it to me were the biceps.Don't let that deter you though, because I'm a big fan of Christine Bell. I love her Dare Me Series and this is another one to add to the list of books I enjoyed.I really liked Grace, and while the plot of the book is predictable, Bell makes the characters incredibly likable and the writing fresh and fun. I found myself enjoying Grace and Tricks story, mostly because Bell writes Grace in a way that makes her incredibly relatable. She's not perfect and she has some personal hang-ups, but she's successful and intelligent, and I can completely appreciate that!And Trick - of course he's a SWAT guy, which immediately makes him sexy, but add in the idea that he knows what he wants and he's changing his ways just for the chance to have this amazing woman in his life. While he was deceitful in getting the opportunity, I could understand why he did it, and I found myself cheering him on from their very first interaction.And Bell can write some amazingly passionate scenes. These two just fit together perfectly and even though Grace couldn't see it, I could feel it with every word written.If you're looking for a fun, quick, read filled with friendship, lust and some naughty naughty sex, then Dirty Trick is the book you're looking for. I'm excited to see which characters Bell brings us next!
