Blurb<\/b><\/h4>\n

An endearingly irreverent love story.<\/span><\/p>\n

To Jackie Ryan, insults are foreplay and love is war. What the feisty redhead lacks in stature, she makes up in attitude. She\u2019s made more than one grown man cry and she\u2019s damn proud of it. Little does the rowdy barista know she\u2019s about to meet her match in the shape of a walking, talking pair of starched khakis.<\/span><\/p>\n

When unassuming Eddie Jaworski stumbles into a quirky coffee shop, he isn\u2019t expecting a battle of wits with the maniac behind the counter. Still, he can\u2019t help be intrigued by the endearingly irreverent human enigma. She\u2019s brash, but considerate. Closed off to most, but fiercely loyal to a few. Everything is a joke, except those things that are sacred. Jackie doesn\u2019t trust easily and if he wants to get close, he\u2019s going to have to work for every inch. Good thing he\u2019s up for the challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Eddie has a secret\u2014one he didn\u2019t mean to keep\u2014that\u2019s going to tug at the delicate strings weaving the pair together. When everything begins to unravel, Jackie must decide just what she\u2019s willing to risk for love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

3.5 stars<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a fun and quirky read. A super entertaining opposites-attract romance with a lot of heart that made me laugh out loud, and I really enjoyed it!<\/p>\n

Jackie is the hilariously irreverent best friend of Elizabeth from the amazing first book in this series [book:So, That Got Weird|52752814]. It\u2019s a fun tie-in, but this book can absolutely stand alone.<\/p>\n

Jackie is a unique character. She\u2019s angry and snarky, and though she has dreams of something more, she\u2019s stuck in a rut working in her grandfather\u2019s coffee shop, reading her favourite sci-fi books and online gaming at night, and she is too scared to take a leap to get out of it. She covers all of that up with insults and attitude, and she is so freaking funny!<\/p>\n

He\u2019s still trying to get on my good side. I promise I have one. It\u2019s just reserved for a very select group of truly amazing people. The rest of the world can fuck right off.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the surface, Eddie is everything that Jackie is not. He\u2019s quiet and seems straight-laced, but when he walks into Jackie\u2019 store and cops her attitude, he flings it right back at her. And when he keeps coming back to hang out and work at her shop, we get some fantastically fun back-and-forth, setting up a deliciously flirtatious dynamic that I could not get enough of.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou dress like Old Navy threw up,\u201d she purrs.
\n\u201cAnd you, Jackie Ryan, dress like a colorblind five-year-old.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re vanilla pudding, and I\u2019m devil\u2019s food cake. You\u2019re a glass of ros\u00e9, and I\u2019m whiskey neat. You\u2019re the Gap, and I\u2019m a vintage thrift shop. You\u2019re missionary, and I\u2019m kink. You\u2019re easy listening, and I\u2019m punk rock.\u201d
\n\u201cThat it? That all?\u201d He winks. This fucker actually winks at me.
\n\u2026
\nI quip over my shoulder, \u201cDarlin\u2019, I\u2019d destroy you.\u201d
\n\u201cAnd I\u2019d enjoy every second of it,\u201d he adds without missing a beat.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Their banter is quick, and their attraction grows with each and every encounter, and quite unexpectedly, they find that all of that passion transfers quite easily to the bedroom. Their hook-ups are seriously hot, and the more they get to know each other and open up to each other, they slowly, naturally and easily fall into a relationship that neither of them ever saw coming.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never been so fascinated with another human being. I want to crawl inside her mind and know every inch of her. Her pain. Her pleasure. Her dreams. Her fears. The good, bad and indifferent. I want it all.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eddie is all in, but Jackie has huge walls around her heart. She\u2019s a complex character, but even she can\u2019t resist the chemistry between them, and I loved watching them fall for each other.<\/p>\n

Eddie Jaworski came into my life as a passing amusement. Then I used him as a much-needed distraction. Now he has dug his way into my heart and set up camp. I don\u2019t know how to chase him out. What\u2019s worse, I don\u2019t know if I even want to.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But Eddie has a secret. It\u2019s one that the reader is aware of from the very beginning, but the longer their relationship goes on, the harder it is for Eddie to share it with Jackie. When all is revealed, it brings heartbreak and conflict, forcing them both to face some hard truths, and some long-overdue soul searching.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed this book. The banter and chemistry are fantastic, I loved Jackie and Eddie as characters, and the constant snark and teasing between them is so entertaining. Their romance develops beautifully, and I loved seeing them fall for each other. I thought the conflict was a bit excessive \u2013 not the actual conflict, but Jackie\u2019s reaction to it. It\u2019s extreme, and goes on for way longer than I wanted, and I got so annoyed with her. For me, it really brought down the mood of the book, which was disappointing, but it all works out, and paves the way for an epically swoony ending that left me very satisfied.<\/p>\n

Definitely a fun read, but I would have preferred less drama. 3.5 stars.<\/p>\n

About the Author<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Amelia Kingston is many things, the most interesting of which are probably California girl, writer, traveler, and dog mom. She survives on chocolate, coffee, wine, and sarcasm. Not necessarily in that order.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s been blessed with a patient husband who\u2019s embraced her nomad ways and traveled with her to over 30 countries across 5 continents (I\u2019m coming for you next, Antarctica!). She\u2019s also been cursed with an impatient (although admittedly adorable) terrier who pouts when her dinner is 5 minutes late.<\/p>\n

She writes about strong, stubborn, flawed women and the men who can’t help but love them. Her irreverent books aim to be silly and fun with the occasional storm cloud to remind us to appreciate the sunny days. As a hopeless romantic, her favorite stories are the ones that remind us all that while love is rarely perfect, it\u2019s always worth chasing.<\/p>\n
