I discovered JBB a couple of months ago and I am loving her writing style so much!! Mason is a firefighter who agrees to participate in his brother's experiment that women hit on married men more. He didn't think anything of it until his participation completely blew his chance with the perfect woman. Hannah is tired of unavailable men making her their target so when an unbelievably hot, seemingly taken, man sets his sites on her, she dismisses him completely. Mason has no choice but to find her and fix this. I absolutely loved that Mason was all in from the very beginning and moved mountains to be with Hannah. Hannah is intelligent, independent, and deserving of a HEA but everyone around her makes her doubt that. I actually didn't like any of her family because instead of supporting her, they seemed to down her every chance they got. I can't wait to see what comes next in this series! *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*

This is a cute fun read that definitely left me smiling. Hannah and Mason are fun characters and their original meeting had me laughing out loud. Luckily they got past that awkward situation and find they fit together and their chemistry explosive. Nothing too deep in this one but if you're looking for a fun lighthearted read this is the book for you. I highly recommend it.

Cute, Quirky, and a Little Chaotic ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ FOUR-STAR ✩ REVIEW ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ > > Judging a Book by it's Cover < < Sweet cover, sweet & sassy sounding synopsis. White font disappears into the cover background a little, but it's mostly is legible. > > Looking Deeper < < POV ~> Third person Mason's a firefighter. Hannah's works in a retail clothing store, vying for the management position of her own store. They meet in a laundromat while Mason's partaking in a ridiculous psychological experiment for his brother. Hannah's been burned before, badly, and does not trust her instincts any longer. Unfortunately, the magnetic attraction they feel only leads to chaos. She thought he was married. He was labeled as a stalker by staff and regulars of a coffee cafe. Mysterious kinky cards started showing up around the same time as Mason finding Hannah again, through a mutual family friend, that put him at the top of the suspect board. There were some cute and quirky moments and then there were times that I wondered why anyone would put up with Hannah's mean girl persona. He had moments of possessiveness and came off as a bit obsessive at times, but she seemed to only have three modes; bitchy, insecure seductress, and game-playing control freak. Oh, toss in a loser ex-boyfriend and a sketchy co-worker to round out the drama. Then there was his family, her family, and her best friend - slash - roommate. The plot, in general, was entertaining and dynamic but I was not fond of how Hannah used sex as a commodity after having her first morning-after meltdown whining about how "she's not like this". Writing quality was smart and mature, the flow was smooth and virtually flawless. The big conflict was not note-worthy and the resolution felt waxed over. Predictability was low. The conclusion was satisfying, providing a solid HEA. Overall, it was like their truffles, both cool and spicy. .
