Temporarily Yours was so good in so many ways.First off they have to have one of the cutest meetings ever. There are kids involved, a candy cane and Copper falling on his ass. The best meetings are the ones with humor and this one made me laugh.I really enjoyed Kayla. She wasn't whiny. She was strong, knew her own mind and the only place I saw that waiver was when dealing with her family where I got that sometimes it's just easier to pretend than to deal with whatever family is going to dish out. We've all been there in one way or another.And swoony, swoony Copper. What else do I need to say about that man. It was really nice to read one of heroes with not only a good reason for not wanting to get involved but other vulnerabilities that he has to push through to get the girl. I <3 him.Two other things that I loved about this was the blatant acknowledgement of the ROMCOM idea of the grand gesture. We see this in a lot of Brazen books and I enjoy it but it was great to see it acknowledged. The other is that after Kayla and Copper spend the weekend together they aren't professing their undying love to each other. They want to be together, they want to try but it wasn't "Hello. Let's have sex. Now I love you." They recognized something different in each other that made them each want to be together.Don't get me wrong. The other Brazen books I've read that does have the big I love you after a short period of time I also love reading. It's just nice to sometimes mix it up a bit.This was a good one!
