Publisher Description
Ever since I was a little girl, all I ever wanted was to get married. To meet the perfect man who’d love me more than life itself and be a wonderful father to all our beautiful children.
I loaded up on chapstick and prepared myself for all the frogs I’d have to kiss to find my prince. But I hadn’t been prepared for just how slimy and gross those metaphorical amphibians could be. And as I got older, the toads got hornier and hornier. (No pun intended, but we’re talking men here, so… yeah.)
Still, I refuse to give up, no matter how many obstacles are thrown my way.
Liam, however, has other plans for my future.
Every inch the bad boy with his leather jacket, dark eyes and tattoos, you’d never expect his personality to be more along the lines of class clown. The combination is oddly sexy. Just ask any woman of legal age in the city of New York, since he’s likely slept with all of them by now.
A simple misunderstanding made us enemies. Now I can’t get rid of him. He’s like a bad case of herpes that just keeps flaring up at the worst of times. And if he sabotages one more of my dates, I’m going to kill him. Or kiss him.
Most days I can’t decide which I’d rather do more.

“Stupid smart” by Jenn Hype
Cute
Embrace the chaos
There is a whole lot of crazy going on in this book, and it all seems to turn on a dime. Hmmm… suddenly Pam Tillis’s Mi Vida Loca is playing though my head. That fits a little too well. I loved that Liam and Clara own up to their issues and embrace the chaos. And it’s especially refreshing to see them advocating talking it all out, working through it all together. I find it stretches believability a tiny bit how fast Liam’s phobia turns around, but I can support that aspect of the story. I’ve seen it happen in real life, so I know it’s not impossible. I have a real problem with the way Clara’s meltdown before the end is handled. All it would have taken was anything suggesting that she was getting professional help for the issues that caused the meltdown, and I would have glossed over it in the same way it appears their family and friends do. But I didn’t see that, and that bothers me. I love that they’re moving forward from there, and the set up for the next pairing has me preparing to embrace even more of the chaos.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
