Really short read, cute couple but not a lot going on. The drama seemed a little far-fetched. Troy & Amy live next door to each other in a duplex & Amy has an immediate dislike of Troy - she can smell him smoking pot, he plays his music loud, & since he moved in a few weeks ago she has seen about 5 different women come & go. Amy believes at first that she is being pranked by the high school students where she helps out playing piano, but after egging her house the damage really increases with her car being keyed & someone breaking into her house & destroying her bedroom. Troy is a hot, young, very sexy cop so he steps in to protect Amy. He explains that he has been gone for 6 months so the random sex was just a little "friends with benefits" action & there is nothing wrong with that if everyone is clear about the rules. So Amy feels that Troy will treat their hot physical connection as another "friends with benefits" situation which she is uncomfortable with. She quickly falls for him & he doesn't exactly reassure her that they have something more which ticks me off. You can tell when a person needs a little reassurance about how you feel, and since Troy said it is ok as long as everyone is on the same page he should understand that these things need to be talked about so Amy isn't so insecure. Amy dated a man before Troy who was perfect for her but boring as all heck, but that decision is coming back to haunt her. Book was fine, too short, and not enough substance, and Troy just didn't do it for me.
