3.5 "Challenge" KissesThere are certain occasions when you just need a short, sweet, hot read. You just do - not that I don't love getting lost in a long novel for hours, seeing the characters develop, the plot get laid out, there is nothing wrong with those kinds of books. But every now and then just a few pages of two people with a lot of history and chemistry is just what I need to put a smile on my face - and that's what More Than Friends did for me.When I say it's a quick read, I mean it took me less than an hour to be introduced to Jeni Acerna and Brian Hamilton. Childhood best friends, turned friends with benefits. They've got a good thing, so why ruin it? It all starts with a challenge. Jeni has just broken up with her boyfriend right before her college roommates wedding - so who is there to fill in at the last minute? Of course Brian is. They've never been successful at keeping their hands off each other in a one-on-one situation, hence where the challenge comes into play, can they keep their hands off each other for 24 hours?`His crooked smile made everything inside of her come alive. It was genuine...and it was sexy...it was naughty but in a good way.'I really liked Jeni and Brian, they were really cute together and of course you're always hoping one of them is finally going to see the light of day. The story line and situation was playful but relatively realistic. I liked the flow and the writing style as well."Being with you this weekend made me realize how much I actually missed you...I miss your smile. Your laugh. Your presence. Our late night conversations while we lie in bed and I hold you. The way you raise your right eyebrow when you think I'm being an idiot. The way you know exactly what I'm thinking or what I need without me having to even say it. It just hit me hard that I truly miss you."If you are looking for lots of detail, this isn't the story for you. That's not to say the characters and story line aren't fully explained and thought out - it's just not extensive. It's hard hitting and too the point, and I appreciated that. There were a couple things that were a tad repetitive, but not to the point of annoyance. Overall it was a good, quick, fun read and a very pleasurable way to spend an hour of my day. :-)
