What a cute, fun romance! I love friends-to-lovers theme, and Grace and Trick are so sweet and sexy together. They've been friends for over a year, and for the past six months, Trick has been dateless and pining for Grace, so determined to show her that he's not just a player. He's a good guy, ready for his One and Only, ready for HER and for a real relationship. But poor Trick. Grace has been hurt by her jerk ex, and she's really lacking some confidence, especially the sexual kind, and there's no way she's risking getting hurt by Trick, by not measuring up to those other women, and she certainly doesn't want to risk their friendship. Trick is her best friend.But Trick is desperate, and this poor, deluded hero comes up with a half-baked idea of 'tricking' Grace with a disguise at a Halloween party. So, according to his male logic, it makes perfect sense to don a disguise (Catman) and approach Grace, all in order to make her see how great they would be as a couple, how much attraction is there and where it could all lead if she only saw him without seeing 'best friend' attached to him. He likes best friend, but he wants 'lover' attached to him, too. Best friend, lover, boyfriend- he wants every label, as long as Gracie is the one calling him those things. I thought Trick was so sweet.I have to say I wasn't sure how in the world Gracie did not recognize Trick at the party, but I went with it. It was too much fun not to. Catman, hear him roar for his woman! I was turned on by the sexy times, just really good and smexy, and then I was laughing at poor Trick. The sauna scene was funny, and hot and naughty, too. I enjoyed this couple together, and I wanted to see how Trick's trick would turn out in the long run. You kind of know how that's going to go, but it was still fun getting there.I really enjoyed this author's writing; her style is easy and fun, and I enjoyed her pop culture references, too. Funny and cute. The romance came across as sweet and sexy, and the characters felt genuine. If you're looking for something easy and light-hearted with good sex appeal and sweetness, give this a try. I ended it smiling and feeling happy. Sexy and super-cute, a fun and happy romance.
