3.5 stars *light spoilers*I'm no stranger to Adriana Hunter as I've been reading her since 2012.That said, putting out a good short story or novella deserves more TLC than this one got. There are numerous basic grammatical & spelling errors that interrupt the flow of this story. An editor would have easily polished this up, tenses and all! (*had*) The story needed a bit more development... Allow for the pacing of chemistry to build-up, having the characters get to know each other better. I also think the story name and book cover don't appropriately represent this story. A cover with a voluptuous woman would make better sense? Due to these critiques I'm docking 1 1/2 stars.The good: the story's premise is wonderful. I love how they meet and reconnect. There is a luscious first-date involving some food-porn (yum!) and very fun chemistry between these two. I appreciate that Wendy delayed their inevitable hook-up. Delayed gratification creates steam. Michael is endearing as the Playboy who is tired of one-night stands, ready for a relationship. I read it in one sitting.I really enjoyed how he lost track of time for their 2nd date: "Michael stood in the porch light, dressed only in sweats, obviously not in the middle of cooking dinner, unless he habitually cooked in workout clothes and in a sauna. No one sweated that much making a meal."...She followed, trying hard to overcome the almost irresistible urge to tug at the elastic of his sweats, to get a glimpse of what looked like a really tight little ass. Really? You hate it when men look at you like a piece of meat. Knock it off.GULP! :PTell ya what AH, polish your story up a bit and make it worth the $2.99 I paid for. I'd love to edit/adjust my rating.
