In Mad About You, Cassy Morris gets an SOS call from one of her dearest childhood friends, Scott Thornton. Scott is described as a hot geek, who is set to have his nanotechnology company skyrocket him to stardom, if another company doesn't get their first. He needs Cassy's help. Since she has the flexibility being the her own boss(tax accountant)she sets out to help him. The problem is she has not seen him in over a year, and in that time he has only gotten better. It doesn't help that she always had a crush on him and her past attempt letting him know failed miserably.The story moves quickly once Cassy gets out to Washington and these friends quickly go from working roomates to fabricated engaged couple. What is problematic is Cassy wants to believe the lie but feels Scott just doesn't see her that way. We learn though, that Scott struggles with his feelings for Cassy too, but because of old demons from being abandoned by his father, he just doesn't see himself in a relationship and he doesn't want to lose his best friend. Well you know what they say about best laid plans.I found the story to be a quick read as it only took me a few hours to finish. While I am typically a huge fan of stories which develop relationships among childhood friends, this one just fell a little short for me. I didn't really feel the emotional connection with the characters throughout the story. There were brief glimpses when they recounted tales of their first kiss or how Scott fell in love with Cassy but that was it. The most emotion provoking part for me was when Scott shared his dream with Cassy. That I loved, but then the story was over and unfortunately it just wasn't enough for me.Thanks to Entangled Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
