I really enjoyed this book. The heroine Mackenna or Mac as she prefers to be called knows what she wants and isn't afraid to say it. After her first serious relationship turned bad and ended horribly, she decided she would never again find herself in that position, totally reliant on a man for everything.Now 4 years down the line she is an ICU nurse, and has stuck to her word. She doesn't do relationships, but what she does do is have no-strings sex with three guys who are happy to go along with her `friends with benefits' situation.All three men are different in their own way. There's Noah - the Dr at the hospital she works, also known as The Walking Dildo, Sean, The Dom and Zander the stripper. All three keep her busy and she's not looking for anything else - that is until she meets Dan on the train home one night. Intrigued by the banter between them she agrees to a date with him, hoping to add him to her harem, when her flatmate and best friend Kate makes a suggestion. Kate has a three date rule - no sex until after the third date. She bets Mac that she won't be able to manage to go that long, but if she does then she'll do dishes and laundry for a week, so Mac agrees.Mac soon realises that Dan is different and is unsure how to proceed. She really likes him, but is adamant she doesn't want a relationship. Dan is patient and kind, he knows not to push Mac too hard. I loved reading how their relationship developed, the flirting, the banter and the chemistry.I felt as though the ending was a bit rushed though, I would have loved to have seen more between Mac and Dan, and how they dealt with their new relationship. I now know that this is the first book in a new series, so I hope that we get to hear more from them in the next book.I really enjoyed this story, it's a quick, funny heart warming read. Mac and Kate make a great double act - I was pleased to find the snippet of book two at the end of this one, which is going to be Kate's story. I can't wait to see what's in store for her, and Zander too.***** I RECEIVED AN ARC IN EXCHANGE FOR REVIEW ****
