"I'm not a sex kitten, I don't wear my sexuality on my sleeve. It's not that I don't think I'm attractive, but at heart, I am just a girl who likes to cook, I'm simple that way. But occasionally I meet a guy who makes me think pretty much exclusively with my p**** and then all I can think about is rubbing it all over him."If the synopsis didn't get your attention then maybe that did it. OMG, let me say this book had me laughing out loud so many times I had tears in my eyes. I mean seriously even when there was some sexy time going on I was cracking up. The humor was just perfectly thrown in at just the right times. It really helped to lighten the mood of what was going on because there are times where things get extremely heated between the main characters. And I'm not talking in a sexual way. Don't get me wrong there are tons of scenes with sex but man can these two characters fight like nobody's business. Well I guess I should clarify that. More like Sadie could pick a fight like it's nobody's business.Sadie is a personal chef to one of the biggest up and coming stars of the NBA but she ends up finding herself unemployed not long after we first meet her. With the help of one of her closest friends she ends up getting a new summer gig working as a personal chef/assistant to a very sought after model. Things don't go as well as Sadie hopes. In her mind Heath is just like every guy she's ever met or dated. So right off the bat she thinks she has him all figured out. He's a pig, he's selfish, rich so he can get away with anything, can do whatever he wants with no regard to anyone else, only cares about himself, arrogant, loose with woman (you get the idea). And of course Heath plays right into what she thinks he's all about.I loved the give and take, the push and pull that was going on with these two. Of course he's gorgeous, sexy and playful but there is so much more to him. Sadie however doesn't want to give him the time of day. She's so concerned about protecting herself that she ends up finding herself in a situation where she battles with what her body wants and what her head is telling her."But my heart ached, it ached and I couldn't exactly identify why. I think it was because I was angry with myself. After Kenneth, I nearly swore off all men, and dated Velveeta exclusively."I gotta say I really really enjoyed Sadie. She's a little neurotic, frigid, closed off and definitely a little bit on the b***** side. This girl doesn't take any crap from anyone and she gives as good as she gets if not more. Very determined, strong and passionate. Now mind you she has her reasons for being the way she is and some had me completely sympathetic to her while others had me wanting to shake her. There were even times I wanted to high five her. She definitely was a blast to read about.Their attraction to each other is off the charts and even when things are heated you can really feel the sexual tension between them. When they do get together, they are off the charts hot. Nina really wrote some amazing sex scenes. And it's not all tender and slow. The angrier it was the hotter they were. And yes the funnier Sadie became. But that's all I'm going to say about that.This is the first novel that I have read from Nina and I can tell you I am definitely a fan now. I really loved this story and honestly I really could not get enough of Sadie and Heath. Now as hot, sexy and funny as it was, this story also had me sheading a few tears. The only reason I can't give this one a 5 star rating is because I wanted an epilogue at the end. Don't get me wrong I was left completely satisfied I just wanted more of them. With that said I would definitely recommend this book. You won't be disappointed."I had a sample, and I was hooked"*received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review*
