This book came pretty damn close to 4 stars! The storyline and characters were alright but the way the MMC was gazing and lost in thought for the FMC really got me feeling fuzzy - especially chapter 15. Plus the easy-bake oven? Be still my heart.

 

These lines have just called me single in more ways than one: 

 

“We were both after the same thing that night—a little reckless joy.” 

“I wanted her in every way a man could want her. I wanted her in my bed, underneath me. I wanted her up against this wall.
 
I even wanted her to sit beside me on the way to the market, giving me lip for everything I said. And I wanted her hanging out in the kitchen putting cherries in the barbecue sauce and chatting up my sisters.” 

 

“That’s not what I mean. What’s the beautiful part?”
 
I gathered her hair in my hand and smoothed it off her shoulder, because I couldn’t stop touching her. “I’m holding it right here.”
