Rating: 5 starsTen points to Gryffindor!! Another wonderful book from Magan Vernon! This particular book had a very special message in it that I think a lot of women will identify with, but no spoilers from me, nope. I have to say that the two main leads could not be more different but there is poetry in opposition. Our lady fair is the hard working and incredibly intelligent Melanie Wilder. Mel doesn’t come from the richest of families so she spends a lot of time working at the local coffee shop and then the remainder of her time studying. One night a friend of hers convinces her to go to a frat party where we meet our knight-errant, John Boy. I got to say that in the beginning I did not like John; he had this juvenile/horny as hell personality that I find annoying. But he TOTALLY redeemed himself in my eyes; I am 100% Team John Boy now. Mel gets some really bad news at the beginning of the book and it was interesting to follow her journey as she faces her fears and grows stronger the whole time John is there for her completely (whether she wants him there or not). There isn’t a ton of sex in this book but there’s a reason for that and I think in this kind of story that sex can be detracting from the relationship that forms through the course of the book. But what sex there is hella hot!!!! So really it’s a matter of quality over quantity. This book also has Magan Vernon’s trademark humor and sarcasm, which I love. The plot line manages to walk the line between humor and drama which makes for a very rewarding read.
