Review: Didn't quite pull it off
Rating: 2 out of 5

This book felt rushed.  SERIOUSLY rushed.The 2 MCs have been really good friends for years, bowling and talking and having a good time... and crushing on each other like crazy.  Mr Perfect Fireman is a playboy, though, and Ms Apple Pie doesn't think he'll ever be anything more than eye candy for her.  After a ridiculously fast OMG LET'S HAVE SEX NOW moment where she actually takes him in the storage closet while she's technically working, she suggests they have a week of sex to try and get him out of her system.  This from a woman who's too sweet to say "damn."  o_OHero agrees because he wants to use the week to convince her that she can't live without his sexiness, and then since they're already good friends, she'll see that they're meant to be.  I could almost follow along with this, but then at the end of their week he does something so ridiculously out of character and throws her into a tailspin of doubt that the Author Interference was painfully obvious.Honestly, it was a sweet friends to lovers story, and I think the author could have written a very cute romance if she'd left out the wannabe steamy scenes.  I felt like I was reading fanfic from someone who really loves dirty talkers and wanted to write some delicious smut, but didn't quite know how to go about it.
