Sawyer Bennett is a charming lady’s man, has watched several of his friends fall victim to the love bug within the past year.  He gives these friends grief for becoming whipped but secretly yearns to find the same love they have found.Sawyer doesn’t really believe in love at first sight, lust maybe, but not love.  The fateful night of a friend’s bachelor party, karma decides to throw him a curve ball in the form of his favorite song and the stripper that dances to it.  Only she’s not really a stripper – it’s her first night, it’s clear she doesn’t know what she is doing and clearly she is afraid to be up on stage.  Sawyer is mesmerized not by her performance, but by everything about her.Sawyer is haunted by the memory of the nameless stripper that wasn’t a stripper.  For weeks, he and a friend scour every strip joint within a 50 mile radius looking for her, but she seems to have disappeared into thin air.  He knows he can’t go on like this and tries to take his mind off of her by losing himself in other women and the occasional BMX race.  He is at a race and in the midst of losing himself when karma steps in again and boy is it funny.Sawyer is reeling from the race incident and dealing with a hangover when the manager of the bar he works for asks him to interview a waitress applicant.  You guessed it, it’s her – her name is Emmett Young.  So they start working together at the bar and start getting to know each other.  They have a great chemistry going on but nothing is really happening physically between them.Sawyer is really trying to be a gentleman and not pressure Emmett for a physical relationship.  Emmett considers Sawyer to be a friend and is hesitant to enter into a romantic relationship with Sawyer.  She drops little hints here and there about a secret that she has that would change Sawyer’s interest in her.  Karma is not giving Sawyer a break.Emmett does trust Sawyer with her secret.  Can Sawyer overlook Emmett’s secret?  Will Emmett’s secret get in the way of their future together?One of the things that I liked most about the book was the author’s sense of humor – there are certain moments in the book that just can’t help but laugh at.  The characters are very human and loveable; the dialogue between characters is very good.  The chemistry between Sawyer and Emmett was sizzling hot.  It was a very enjoyable story.***Review has been done in conjunction with Forever Me Romance.
