Quick read. Some really hot and steamy sex but that's about it. The story line was just meh. A widow of 1 year and still full of guilt is extremely turn on when her friend just describes her neighbor. And gets all flustered and ends up having all these crazy sex dreams about him and then just basically jumps his bones and then runs away crying because she's so full of guilt. And this whole time i'm reading it i'm just thinking to myself, REALLY? I don't think so. Kind of disappointing since I've...more
I wanted to like this book, but I just couldn't get into it. Casey is supposed to be a widow needing to regain her confidence and put herself back on the market, and yet she continually bounces back and forth between jumping Nick and then being embarrassed by it. Her character lacked the complexity to reconcile the two; it seemed predictable and insincere.

SWEET, FUNNY, SAD, HONEST, HORNY, & SEXY SHORT STORY. WOW, did I cover it all? If I didn't you will have to fill in the rest of the adjective to describe Casey (the horny widow) & Nick (the. Bachelor). I thought it was a very cute story but I thought the ending could have been more evolved. Otherwise there were some very funny parts but never a stunt bed was ever involved or injured. ;)
A quick hot short read, likeable characters. I would like to have read a little more storyline. However whats inside is certainly intriguing and hot..
Nick was certainly a hotty , Id bid on him to..
Freebee via amazon > I will be reading more of this authors works in the future. I enjoyed what she put forth into such a short story.
3 1/2 stars ;)

Typically hot Sommer Marsden book but the short novella form didn't help these particular characters out.
Try Marsden's Bittersweet for a better example of what she can do with a novella.

Free on kindle. Cute and funny short story. There was no time to develop feelings, but a cute story.
This is a surprisingly sweet little freebie. Steamy, too, but sweet.
Hot and sexy, fun read! Short but satisfying.
