** I was provided an ARC from the Author for an honest review *** This review will also be posted on Shanoff Says on Facebook *I really enjoyed Lovefools. It is a sweet & sexy read with a tad bit of mystery thrown in the mix.I loved Phin and I loved her name, it was very unique. Phin's character is really sweet and easy to connect with. I felt pain that her douche of an ex, Douglas, had cause her. I could feel the confusion she was feeling when she started to feel something towards The Hottie, Byron. Even the guilt she felt because she thought she was being unfaithful to Douglas was understandable. I thought that I would get super tired of her waffling about the Douglas situation, but I really enjoyed when she changed back into the old Phin (which Dez, her BFF, referenced a time or two). Her character is very well written as well as the other characters. I really enjoyed Dez, Estevan & Byron, I even liked Carlito for a little bit.The relationship that started to grow between Phin and Byron was a little touch and go at time. They definitely had the sexual chemistry and tension going on. It did not take long for me to figure out Byron's hesitance to take things any further with Phin, but it added the needed drama to the storyline. This storyline is quite a bit different from your normal "girl with broken heart tries to get over her ex" romance. There is quite a bit of things that go on in this book to keep your attention and excited to get to the bottom of it all.So now the reason 4 stars instead of 5...I really did enjoy the relationship that Phin and Byron shared, but at the same time there was never that "shift" for me when you feel them falling in love.  It just seemed sudden and there wasn't enough of that warm and fuzzy feeling for me to make that leap with them. The other thing that was not really neccessary, but with all the light shed on it during the story, was Dez and Estevan's relationship. It was never addressed at the end and was kind of just left with no closure...for me anyway.Obviously my cons were not enough for me to give anything less that 4 stars so I would recommend this book if you want a sweet, sexy and fast paced story. The mystery factor is what really made this story really come together and more engaging.  Give it a try!
