Sweet. Perfect Hero. Sexual Tension. Gah I love, love, loved this book! I was looking for a quick read and this book has been on my TBR for a while now. I started reading it yesterday afternoon and before I knew it hours had pasted and I was finishing it – all in one sitting. I got completely lost in this story and caught up in these characters. I LOVED IT and was smiling the entire time I was reading!Avery is focused. Work, school, her close friends and her younger brother are the only things that she has time for. Guys and relationships are the farthest things from her mind and the last possible thing she wants. Instead she has casual hookups so that she can maintain in control. Until she sees Hot Boy at a fraternity party while on the hunt for her next conquest. He’s different. He doesn’t become putty in her hands like every other guy, instead he pretty much ignores her.Bennett is…this amazing perfect guy. When I say perfect, I mean perfect. He is sweet, honest, caring, compassionate, artistic, a tattoo artist…and a virgin. I’m used to reading books about bad boys, Alpha males, damaged souls, rock stars, etc, which I love, don’t get me wrong. But it was so refreshing to read a book about a normal guy…a sweet, decent guy. And when he explained why he was still a virgin, my heart swelled for him even more. This guy is flipping perfect – no dark demons in his past, no commitment issues, just a normal college guy who is waiting for someone to love before he gives himself to them. Swoon. I love him!!!This story was definitely different than most New Adult books out there. There are plenty of books out there where the heroine is a virgin and the hero is the experienced one, but this is the first I’ve read where it is the hero who is the inexperienced one. I loved this storyline – it really set up extremely intense, hot sexual tension between Avery and Bennett. Who knew that a gaze, a touch or a kiss could be so hot?!? The tension was dripping off of each page and it was hotter than most sex scenes I read!In all honesty, other than Avery’s past causing conflict, this book really was about Avery and Bennett and their relationship. Avery wanted to keep Bennett at arms length, while Bennett feels something for Avery that he has never felt before. They are drawn together, even when they don’t want to be. It was a very quick read and just a great story that I adored. If you like stories with sexual tension, then you should read definitely read this book. Bennett was literally the type of guy that you dream about meeting when you are in college. Oh did I mention he is an artist who works in a tattoo parlor?!? Sigh…I’m in love.
