***5 ‘Patron Saint’ Stars***

This one was a such a fun read and one that I was totally invested in that I *cough* “multitasked” *cough* and finished it in a couple of hours. It had just the right amount of feels which include the sniffly/teary kind as well as the “Ouch!” kind and really just hit all the right buttons for me from start to finish.

It was so easy to fall in love with Keaton and Slate. Keaton is focused, extremely so, and likes to have all of her ducks in a row on a daily basis, but she isn’t rigid. She may be a little awkward at times, but once she gets comfy, she’s snarky and sweet and is just chill. Slate is in full on bachelor forever mode, and doesn’t apologize for it, but while he has manwhore tendencies, he isn’t an asshat about it. He’s sweet, chill and truly cares about those he calls his own and will do anything for them.

Keaton and Slate’s journey was all kinds of sweet, smexy, awkward and just fun. Their friendship jumped off the page. They knew each other inside and out and truly liked who the other person was and enjoyed everything they brought to their friendship, which made it real easy to see how they could be more. And that more was all kinds of smexy, I mean nuclear level smexy and I’ll admit a lot of it came from how caring and sweet Slate was with Keaton and helping her out. But of course there had to be a roadblock pop up and this one was of the “Ouch...oh that hurt” variety, I flinched, I did. But I loved how they got back on track and where they ended up.

As I’ve already said, this was a fun one. It had everything you could want in a romance. It was funny, sweet, smexy and had just enough drama to keep things interesting. I loved Penny and Meera, and Gabby cracked me up. And that little sneak peek of Flirting With Forever definitely has me wanting it on my Kindle sooner rather than later!
