What I wanted for my birthday: Books.
What I got for my birthday: my brother’s best friend playing matchmaker.

Let it be known that I, Kinsley Lane, am one hundred percent against being set up with somebody.
And I’m one thousand percent sure that Josh Carter is not the man to find me a boyfriend.
I mean, if I’m so great, why isn’t he the one dating me? (For the record, I don’t know the answer. That’s just what the guy on the internet asked.)
Still, I’ll humor him. If I go on his little dates, he’ll teach my bookish, introverted self how not to be totally, completely, utterly, unforgivably awkward on every single one of them.
And all I have to do is fall in love with one of the lovely gentlemen he’s serving up for me on a silver platter—all of whom fit my very specific guidelines.
Simple, right?
It would be.
If only I could stop falling for Josh.

I’m am NOT usually a fan of the friends-to-lovers romance trope, but Emma Hart takes a slightly different approach to it in this book, and I loved it. There was less time spent on two people stuck in their heads/lamenting their situations and more time watching relationships develop and change.

My only real gripe with the book is the excessive swearing and sex. I wasn’t expecting it to be a sex-free, curse-free book, but there was definitely more in it than I’m comfortable with. This is one of those books that I wish also came in a PG-version so I could share it with everyone; as is, I’d have to be careful who I refer it to because of some of the content.

That being said, I very much enjoyed the author’s style and the characters’ chemistry. It was a fun, easy-to-read book. If there was less swearing and less-descriptive sex scenes, I’d absolutely read the rest of the series. A fun book.
