age gap (Teo is ten years younger than Jack)īAKE at temperature of your choice (this book is BROIL-ON-HIGH HOT tho) LOTS OF SEXY TIMES (eager virgin alert!)

skydiving (followed by an angry Jack who would never jump out of a 'perfectly good plane') misdirected love (Teo is convinced he's in love with Chris, his best friend since elementary school, but loving Chris has become a habit what Teo feels for Jack is real) serious lack of communication (why, oh, why couldn't Jack and Teo have an actual conversation about their future instead of relying on assumptions?) an awkward encounter with an ex-boyfriend well-meaning family (especially Jack's slightly nosy but truly supportive sister) One sexy-as-sin pilot (Jack) who relies on hookups because he doesn't think he's relationship material (and because he still feels guilty about walking away from his ex, who was a good guy) This book left me with a curled lip and resentment that I wasted so many hours on it.One virginal nurse (Teo) who's in love with his 'straight' best friend and scared of flying Nasal voice and annoying laugh, and awkward sounding humour. How it got resolved just didn’t work for me either. It’s like the authors just didn’t know how to make the ups and downs in this book. Finally the drama at the end and Mal’s freak out, the things he said, and his decisions were just ridiculous.

The whole premise seemed a bit awkward and unnecessary, and the drama of faking didn’t seem to be enough to base a story on. Actually, all the female characters weren’t likeable. Paul is portrayed as overwhelmed by her beauty, and her liking being adored by him despite his “thinning hair”. She was petty and shallow, and we were supposed to like her? The only “redeeming” feature the authors gave was that she was pretty. However, this book had too many annoying things. She seems to have a loyal following that leave over inflated positive reviews so it’s always difficult to really gauge how good a book of hers is.

This book would have been heading towards a typical 3 star ok read which is what I usually give Lucy Lennox stories, with their small town characters and slightly cringeworthy humour.
