This bk has one adorable Hero, Rick, and is filled with sexual tension, it's flirty fun early on, there's hot sex scenes and plenty of romantic drama because of the h/Marley's fear of commitment due to her trauma from the past. Two people you know are going to fall in love but the story takes its time in the telling. That Rick though....what a keeper and definitely book boyfriend worthy. Rick's a classy alpha...very possessive from the get go, even before he and Marley became an item (jaw clenching over guys numbers in her phone). He's bossy, protective, did I mention possessive? sexy hot, sexual innuendo smirking, romantic, gentlemanly, sweet and all kinds of wonderful. (Yea, I'm gushing) And he supposedly looks like Chris Pine!What bothered me? I don't like it when it takes one of the characters f-o-r-e-v-a to come clean with their dilemma. Marley sort of got on my nerves when she was pushing Rick away (due to fear) and made me impatient when I wanted her to just tell Rick her problem and move forward with it.  But, yes, yes, (forehead smack) I know...that's part of the story.  The build up to the "reveal" of the problem, of course, leads to some angst. The angst is not over the top though (I hate angst...love the drama, but my impatience and angst? Uh uh...they don't mix well).Loved Marley's funky family....they're all named after someone musical. But Marley's gay OCD friend Dillon was endearing. Adam, Marley's soon to be brother-in-law is loveably cool. And just wait until you get to Adam's wedding vows to Marley's sister Stevie. To die for!  (Be ready to swoon, ladies). It's a shame the author didn't write Adam/Stevie's bk first. There was just enough of these two characters to make you feel like they were worth reading more of (you'll see).Overall a cute story with a wonderful Hero but wished the HEA hadn't been so rushed. It would have been more enjoyable for me to have had Rick/Marley's HEA drawn out longer with more dialog. Will be looking forward to what this author does next.
