Thank you for the opportunity to read and review Just For Now. Unfortunately, as I DNF'd the previous book in the series, I will not be reading or reviewing this one either.

Just For Now is the third book in the adult contemporary romance Flirting With Trouble series by Annie Kelly. I flipping loved this book! It was everything I look for in a romance. It is well written, with compelling characters, a great story, a romance that comes alive and fantastic chemistry between the main characters. Annie Kelly hit it out of the ball park with this one. I haven't read the other books in the Flirting with Trouble series, but I know I need to now. If they are anything like Just for Now, then they will be amazing reads!

In Just for Now we meet our main characters, Rainey and Owen. Rainey is just branching out on her own, and she is doing so without the approval of her family. She wants to go into social work, which is not a career path that her family backs, but it is what put her directly into Owen's path, so I would say that is so worth it. I can't even adequately tell you how much I love Rainey and Owen. I fell in love with them right off the bat. I was immediately drawn into their world. Which tells me that I really need to be reading more books from Annie Kelly. She blew me away with Just For Now.

If you are looking for a romance with off the charts chemistry, great heart, plenty of sweet moments and sexy moments, with a fantastic story then look no further than Just For Now. This book was one of my favorites of the year! I loved it so much!

JUST FOR NOW is the third book in the FLIRTING WITH TROUBLE SERIES, but I haven’t yet read the first two books, AFTER TONIGHT and UNTIL TOMORROW. I was able to quickly sort through the characters and some of what might have previously occurred, but I didn’t feel either Rainey or Owen had any depth to them. They each had secrets or thoughts they were holding back, especially Owen. Their chemistry was hot and sizzled, but their relationship was so inappropriate. Not only was he her new boss, but when their lust overtook them, they didn’t care where they were.

The story’s pacing ebbed and flowed. There wasn’t a lot of plot because there were so many steamy moments, but what there was was heartwarming, especially when Rainey gave her all to the After School program where she was the assistant director. (Having her degree in social work doesn’t hurt in the field she’s in either.)

Relationships between Rainey and her family were definitely strained, especially since her parents wanted her to be more like her sisters, which she told them would never happen and they seemed all for show. The sisters didn’t care about anyone but themselves.

A family and friends romance with some intriguing conflict–misappropriation of funds, a police investigation, needy teens–JUST FOR NOW also had plenty of spicy moments with the potential for a happily ever after in the future for Rainey and Owen. Her friends were already getting their HEA’s, which didn’t phase Rainey at all. There is some closure but I had no idea I was at the end of the story until I came to the acknowledgments page on my Nook. I actually turned back to make sure I hadn’t skipped a page.

Kelly is a new to me author and I’d give her other books in this series a try to see if there was better closure.

I rated the book 3.5 stars but rounded to 4 stars here and on other sites.
