You need to clear your schedule for this one, because I can guarantee that nothing will get done until you finish reading it. From the opening scene - where Sabrina first spies Jackson in his tight running shorts - this book flies from one hilarious scenario to another in quick succession. Sabrina's first reaction is 'nice buns', and she's definitely not talking about the baked variety. The trouble is, she's so busy ogling Jackson's hypnotizing 'attributes', that she loses control of her car and ends up knocking him over. Not the best of introductions, to be sure, and it paves the way for more catastrophes. 'Accidental meetings' is a phrase that takes on new meaning as poor Jackson is literally battered black and blue whenever he bumps into Sabrina.Sabrina is sweet and kooky, and is adorably insecure, making her identifiable with women everywhere. Jackson is a dream of a hero, all gorgeousness and sensitivity rolled into one. Despite being literally scared of Sabrina - what with the physical danger she seems to put him in every time he sees her - he still can't help being attracted to her. And Sabrina, mortification aside, can't help feeling the chemistry between them either.At first hostile towards each other, they end up thrown together during a dating game, each of them having been coerced into participating. Watching these two blunder and stumble through their relationship is at times hysterically funny, and other times bittersweet. They both have inner demons to face, especially Jackson, whose father was a serial cheater, and now has a new young wife on the scene.There are plenty of curve balls thrown at them on their journey, and the chemisty leaps of the page during their more intimate moments. This makes for a page-turner of a read (the state of my living room is proof of this!)that is both entertaining and satisfying at the same time.Highly recommended!
