4.5 Stars
In ten days, I’d be back in my world, and this would just be that craziest-thing-I’ve-ever-done story I looked back on and laughed about.
Or cried about. One of the two.
Since this is my third attempt at this review (Goodreads and sneaky book reviews during work hours do NOT make an ideal combo. Lesson learned.) I've decided to just let it all out and ramble a bit. Bear with me now.
Stuff I freaking loved:
Absolutely everything! From the pissed off first meeting to the eventual coming together to the underlying humor, it all worked for me. Jack and Margot were terrific together regardless of how they spent their time, but I have to say the intense sexy stuff will always hold a certain place in my heart. As an added bonus, the angst level was juuust right. Enough to give me a nice case of the feels but nothing over the top.
Stuff I could do without:
Absolutely nothing! Okay, if I'm being honest I found it a touch slow during a portion in the middle. You know what? I'm good with it.
Melanie Harlow has officially made my autobuy list. In case you didn't gleen the 411 from my review, I really enjoyed this one. Claire's story is up next (fingers crossed!) And I can't wait. I think there was some mention of a hockey player?

22% is pretty funny ;) As much as I loved this, a 5 star for me means it was stupendously awesome! Maybe a little different from the stuff I normally read. I enjoyed this but it really was between a 4 and 5.
yes, yes, yes! you didn't ramble one bit, Jen... and trying to write a review at work can be tricky, hahahahahahahathinking of you and wishing all the best for the Holidays! <3333

You too, sweet Wendy! And as far as the work reviews go...I have a desk, a computer and a bunch of techie guys working around me. I consider the reviewing time I'm NOT standing around talking with them, so in a way they kinda owe me lol ;)
