I love funny books, but it's not often I find one that makes me laugh out loud all the way through. This was one of those books. And Whitney was one of those characters who delivers every punchline flawlessly. 'Life with Whitney was ass-hugging jeans and laughter. It was stolen kisses and rushed orgasms. It was yelling and arguing and a constant battle of wills. Life with Whitney was exhilarating.' True that. She's the only woman I know who could get banned from a golf store for gettin' freaky in the dressing room. And she's the only woman I know who'd bring a kite to the beach and turn it into a dirty sex game, which I loved.How she ended up with a kindergarten teacher is still a bit of a mystery, but Matt is quite possibly the sweetest, most charming man on the planet. I absolutely adored the chemistry between them, from the bar scene on. It was a deliciously slow burn. The build-up from their first sexual encounter to the ultimate connection was gold. It was written in such a way that I didn't feel deprived; I simply enjoyed the journey as much as they did, and it felt like a special added bonus when 'it' finally happened.I have to say that I wasn't overly fond of the Laura storyline. It touched on a topic that's pretty sensitive, and at times I felt she made Matt appear weak. Of course, Whitney making light of his gallant efforts had me laughing all over again. "Go. Rake. Be your Galahad self. And if you need a field to plow afterwards, you know where to find me."The sex scenes. OMG. They were unbelievably sexy and satisfying and wonderful. But my favourite sexy scene of all was when they danced at her birthday and Matt proved to everyone in the room that she was his.The supporting characters were fabulous, particularly Whitney's parents. I loved Kendra and John and even whatshisname grew on me a bit toward the end. But above all else, this was Whitney and Matt's story, and they had me at hello. I highly recommend this!
