I’m not sure if I crave him or not. Obviously, Emmy does. This girl, I swear… She forgave Ben for cheating on her with disgust-a-bug Fiona! These two characters should be able to weather anything at this rate. Gah. Just thinking about a Ben/Fiona sex romp makes my skin crawl. The woman was his mother’s friend for God sake. Pardon me while I dry heave…At the end of Working It we learned that Fiona was preggers, and that Ben could possibly be the father. If you didn’t get the heebie jeebies while reading that sentence, you aren’t human. Ew. Yuck. Ew. Forget that she’s an older woman and friends with Ben’s mother, she’s a disgusting manipulative waste of protoplasm. Fiona is just, well, she’s an evil genius, is what she is. She’s evil nice. You know the type. Those people who smile fake sweet smiles at you while secretly plotting your demise. She’s the polar opposite of Emmy."I quieted her fears about us, about Fiona, the best way I knew how, by clearing her head of all thoughts but one – getting me inside her."Emmy is sweet as ever. She’s authentic, real, and honest. She’s everything Ben needs! Good thing that man realizes it. He spends most of the book trying to show her just how much he loves, appreciates, and is working to deserve her. I liked seeing that vulnerable side of Ben. It made him a lot less intimidating – more real. He was this untouchable, god-like, male model in Working It and now in Craving Him, he just seems…human.Naturally, Fiona works her evil magic causing trouble to brew between our happy little lovers. You’d think that by now they’d just come to expect her particular brand of crazy. What she cooks up this time might be a little too much for Emmy. Can you blame the girl? *eye roll* She’s already put up with enough lying and cheating to last a life time. How far can you push someone before they break?"I was desperately in love with this girl. I needed to show her that she could trust me. I wouldn’t f%ck this up again."Craving Him was the perfect continuation of Ben and Emmy’s story. I couldn’t imagine it going any other way. There is another book in the series, which I’m assuming is about Ellie and Braydon. Although, you know what they say about assuming. Yikes…
