Jillian is a famous romance writer, the problem is that ever since finding her husband in their pool with another woman doing things she only has ever written about, she can't seem to write any good romance. Her divorce has put her in a mood of making all the male characters have performance issues or ending up with a disease of some kind. What kind of a romance book is that to read? She hopes to get out of her slump after her son visits her on Spring Break from college. When Rob, her son, brings home his best friend Brian with him he just is trying to help him out of a relationship rut. Jillian and Brian really hit it off because they have very similar interests and hobbies. Soon Jillian is having thoughts about her son's best friend that only should be happening in her book, not her real life. She can't possibly fall for someone who could be her son! Or can she? What would her son think? What would Brian think if she told him how she really felt? Would he say he felt the same or would he slap a sexual assault charge on her? Can two lonely people really just be friends when their hormones are so all over the board when they are together and all they can think about is each other naked? They will soon find all that out.
Oh my GOSH!!!! I picked up this book because it was free on my Kindle and because I was doing a search for contemporary books and this one popped up on the first page. Well, the cover intrigued me to click on it to see what it was about, as did the title. I am so glad I decided to read it! I started reading it one night and finished it the next morning.....very early morning. ;-) I was sucked in to the whole plot of the down on her romantic luck woman and the young, not to be touched by her, college boy/best friend of her son. The characters were just hilarious and very easy to fall in love with and want to read more about. So much of this book I could see happening in real life. Especially the romance writers block due to a nasty affair and divorce. I wouldn't be able to write all sunshine and rainbows romance either if I just found my "wonderful" husband having an affair and went through a divorce. Also, the character of Victoria was by far the most funny of them all. She is the character that we all know someone like, even if we won't admit it. The descriptiveness of the writing in this book was something to swoon over that's for sure. I had no problem watching this book play in my head the entire time I was reading it. There was indeed some sexual content in this book, but it was not what I would call over the top or tasteless. It was well written and really did add to the plot and made the book that much better. I found myself actually yelling at my Kindle at one point because I wanted Jillian and Brian to kiss and/or more. It was one of those times of being able to feel the sexual tension while reading and you just had to want them to act on something, even if it was just a kiss. I really enjoyed this book and author. I am so glad I found this book through a stroke of luck during a search. I couldn't have been happier with how it was to read. I loved this authors taste and talent of writing such a spot on romance between two people who maybe shouldn't be having a romance at all. You definately need to check out this book if you have not. Be aware of the sexual content though, in case you are really against reading books containing that. It really was a great read though for me!
