If there is one author I completely gush about, it would be Erin Nicholas. Her work is wonderful. It's my favorite type of romance. I was honored to get an ARC of Going For Four. I can honestly say that with all of the books I have read by Erin, this one is, by far, my favorite! The book is about two friends, Cody and Olivia, who fight their attraction to each other for the sake of Conner (Olivia's brother and Cody's best friend). It is so completely obvious that they are perfect for each other but neither will act on it. They even have a list of rules to follow when they are with each other so that they are able to keep their hands (and other body parts) to themselves. They are best friends who do everything together, such as baking, "date night" and they even watch romantic comedies together! So you know that this is all just a recipe for disaster when they just can't fight their feelings anymore! :)Well, Olivia decides that to get over her attraction to Cody and to move on from him, she needs both of them to start dating ASAP. So, she signs both of them up on a dating website. I don't like to give away too many spoilers....so lets just say.....this is where the magic really starts! As we all know, a good romance story doesn't leave us hanging too long before the fireworks start and boy were there fireworks! My favorite thing about this book, is that it felt so real. Their situations are "real life" situations. Everything isn't just perfect and easy. You'll see what I mean when you read it!I love these two characters. I LOVE Cody. He is just amazing. HOT, laid back, sweet, good listener, and a fire fighter! Olivia is just so sweet. I'm not sure there is a better word to describe her. She doesn't want to upset anyone, especially her older brother. But, she finds her voice and her backbone within this story and becomes such a strong woman. I love that about her! Eventually, she figures out what she wants and she goes for it. No excuses, no denying it. I don't want to leave out all of the other people in this one. Going For Four brings back many of my favorites from the Bradford Series and in the rest of the Counting on Love series. It's like catching up with good friends. And when they are all together, hilarity ensues."This is, apparently, how I look when I'm trying with every fiber of my being not to kiss you." SWOOON!You will love this book. It's perfect in my opinion. It's sweet, romantic, hot, sexy, full of piss you off moments and drama, but then back to the swoon-worthy moments that make our hearts flutter. ;)
