Samantha/ Sam is a divorce lawyer and Jake is a sports agent. Both don’t think they are the marrying kind. Samantha has seen the toll of a bad marriage and everything in between. Sam’s sister Whitney is engaged to Jake’s best friend’s brother in law Michael. Jake and Sam are thrown together .They have the insta/ attraction. Sam’s not a pushover and doesn’t rush right into sex with Jake. Especially as Jake is a player. But Sam and Jake learn things out about themselves and each other.
I liked this story a lot. It was funny. It was sex with no ties which I didn’t really care for. But I didn’t want to put this down.But I didn’t particularly like Whitney she seemed selfish and self centered but she is how Jake and Sam met so she served her purpose. This story was predictable but still liked it ,it was an enjoyable read. This was fast paced. I liked the characters a lot for the most part and The ins and outs I liked a lot and I recommend.

This is a boy meets girl, boy and girl can’t seem to get together, kind of love story. Of course, Jake is actually a man and Samantha is very much a woman, but you get the gist.

The story is told from alternating perspectives, which is a concept I’ve come to enjoy. The chapters are also quite short, which makes for a fast paced read (though there are over 100 chapters). It’s light and fun with plenty of steaminess.

Over the course of a weekend, Samantha and Jake meet on 3 separate occasions, though Samantha would prefer their first meeting were wiped from both of their memories. There is instant heat and attraction, but neither wants to get involved. Jake just wants sex, and while Samantha wants that too, she feels it would be better for both of them if they were just business acquaintances.. and maybe friends.

Of course, with all of the heat these two are generating, staying just friends seems pretty silly… except that the fates may just be conspiring against them to do exactly that. Every time they decide to take things to the next level, something (or someone) comes along to put a stop to things. Of course this is a romance novel, so you know eventually things will work out… right?

And since I love characters, let’s talk about the characters. I loved Samantha and Jake, Jenna (Samantha’s best friend) and Caroline (Jake’s assistant). Mark (Jake’s best friend) and Rita (Mark’s wife and Jake’s ex) were good supporting characters. I had some issues with other members of the cast however. Michael (Samantha’s brother-in-law & Rita’s brother) was kind of boring and his relationship with Whitney (his wife, Samantha’s sister) really didn’t make sense. Whitney however was an immature, spoiled brat who took advantage of her sister, over-reacted to situations with Michael, and treated Jake horribly under the pretext of looking out for Samantha.

All in all I really enjoyed this one. It was a lot of fun with just the right amount of heat thrown in.
