4 1/2 sweet peasFavorite quote: Christ. Something hot rolled over in my stomach. It felt like uneasiness that maybe shared a condo wall with terror. And, maybe arousal lived a couple of doors down.Review:  I loved this book. A lot. Eli Easton absolutely has a new fan in me. Blame It On the Mistletoe is a charming, sexy, FUNNY story; and, I truly love her writing style – it’s incredibly sharp, and witty.Mick is a college jock, with quite a reputation as a ladies’ man. He has grown tired of the scene, however, and has decided to quit playing football, and move out of the dorms, so that he can focus more on his studies. Unfortunately though, his new living situation requires him to look for roommates…enter the whirlwind that is Fielding Monroe.I don’t think I can adequately describe how much I adored Fielding. His character is obviously reminiscent of Sheldon Cooper, from the T.V. show Big Bang Theory; but, Fielding is even more endearing. Mick, who is also fabulous, just rolls with all of his new housemate’s quirks, and the two of them quickly become best friends. Mick is a natural caretaker, and takes on the role of teaching Fielding many things.Things certainly get complicated when Fielding decides that one of the things he wants Mick to teach him is how to kiss…but, what happens is anything but predictable. While I think it can be very difficult to write a really strong, believable GFY storyline, Easton does an excellent job here. The timing and pace of the story are perfect. There is obviously going to be some awkwardness and tension, and that is all there. The genuine fondness, admiration, and eventually love that these two feel for each other really jump off the page. I was hooked from beginning to end.So, yeah…I loved it. So much that I read it twice. ;) I highly recommend this book!! And, I will be picking up more of Eli Easton’s stories very soon!Review originally appeared at mrsconditreadsbooks.com/index.php/?p=17008
