"So Much More (Chrome Series #1)" by Taryn Plendl5 out of 5 stars (and then some)Picture this...it's late and the husband is asleep.  I can't sleep and I decide to start a new book.  I'm trying to hold my Nook in such a way that the light doesn't wake him up (because I know he'll fuss that I'm reading instead of sleeping).  I start the book and immediately have to put a hand over my mouth because it is ridiculously funny.  Now I'm hooked into a book that I'm desperately trying not to laugh with (or else I'll wake the hubs), hold my Nook with one hand (since the other is over my mouth), and quaking in delight so much that I almost fell out of the bed (on more than one occasion)!  That was my experience with "So Much More" by Taryn Plendl!Avery is maybe one of the funniest female leads I've read in a long time.  She's smart and possesses a razor sharp wit that knows no bounds.  She never takes herself too seriously and has no problems aiming her humor at herself.  I loved how willing she was to try new things even when she knew she was probably going to hate the experience.  Avery is someone I could easily see myself hanging out with and having an insanely good time.  She is a welcome breath of fresh air in a world over-saturated with damsels in distress.Blake is a guy worth investing in.  He loves Avery's humor and appreciates her in a way that has you falling head over heals for him.  He's good looking but isn't in your face about it and never arrogant.  He's playful and protective and values the friendship he has with Avery above all else.  Blake is the perfect match for Avery in the wit department and their banter is light and infectious.I LOVED the slow build in their relationship that Plendl uses.  While they definitely have chemistry from the start it was really cool seeing the friendship develop first.  It creates a solid foundation for them and allows the flames of attraction to be stoked into a raging inferno.  This is a couple worth your time and investment.Plendl's style is so easy to read.  I flew through the book in one setting (shh, don't tell my husband) and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book!  While I love a good drama, what Plendl has done is create a story oozing with humor and wry wit that keeps you on your toes and clenching your stomach with laughter.  If I could give her more stars I wouldn't hesitate!  This one is a must buy!!*I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*Shannon, My Secret Book Spot
