Review: Fun read with a fab heroine and hot hero!

I received a copy of Act Like You Love Me in exchange for an honest review!What I really liked about Act Like You Love Me was how easy the main character Brynn was to identify with. Almost everybody has that one guy or girl in their past who turns them to mush and makes them lose all sense. We've all suffered through an embarrassing unrequited teenage crush, but how many of us have run into said crush years later and still have the same infuriating reaction?I felt genuinely sorry for Brynn and her horrific high school experiences and could totally understand why she felt the need to hide her past. It's the classic dream of meeting the hot guy who didn't want or notice you as a teenager and years later have him suddenly realising your extreme attractiveness. The problem for Brynn is that Sawyer doesn't even recognise or remember her and she accidentally gets trapped in a web of lies. She's very honestly dishonest!Sawyer was exactly what a great hero should be: Hot - check, vulnerable and damaged - check, strong, caring and determined - check, check, check! I enjoyed the banter between Brynn and Sawyer, and getting to read Sawyer's inner thoughts was a good addition to the book. Sawyer's responses to Brynn's sudden changes of mood and her numerous U-turns were hilarious.4 Stars in my Sky!My fav non-spoilery quotes:* Normally she reserved hate for things like olives and mushrooms and any other food with textures that weren't quite right. But Sawyer was one of the few people who deserved it.* His Head broke the surface of the water. He shook his hair and shot her a sheepish grin. "That went differently in my head."* "You use blankets to ride donkeys? And how many donkeys have you ridden?"* "Hey, Lance. Gwen. How's Camelot these days? Probably more cagey than you thought it'd be, huh?"[...] - Also reviewed on my Blog Zili in the Sky!
