I typically love her writing, so I dove right in – and do not regret it! This was a low angst delight with the kind of slow burn romance I love it’s about friendship first, with subtle hints of more throughout. I’ll openly admit that I was a little hesitant about this blurb, though still very much interested in the story. And as they continue running into each other – and Juliet keeps rejecting Noah – they form a connection that starts to feel a lot like friendship with the hint of something more. While filling in as a seat filler at an awards show, Noah and Juliet strike up a conversation that leaves the actor wanting more.
So when she meets Noah, a Hollywood heartthrob and the former child actor who starred in her teenage dreams… she’s not as starstruck as she probably should be. After a traumatic “7 minutes in Heaven” during her teenage years and the disastrous events that followed, she associates kissing and relationships with anxiety and fear. The story follows Juliet, a 24-year-old woman who has never really been kissed. And any reservations I had about that blurb evaporated as the intimacy between them grew. From the meet cute to the HEA, these two are absolutely ADORABLE together.
Our heroine makes a somewhat unreliable narrator, but it’s so easy to see our hero falling head over heels. This hero is almost too good to be true, and I loved his kindness, patience, and single-minded focus.
I loved the slow build from strangers to friends to lovers, and somehow this author has again made a “clean” book simmer with sexual tension. This was the dose of SWEETNESS that I needed in my life! It’s cute, charming, and just a little bit sexy.
