This is a strong debut novel! I expect to see more from you, Christina Hoffman!

This book has a ton going for it that I love:

Likable characters that you feel like you know - check
Real people - check
Swoon worthy hero - check
Hot sexy time - check, check, check

It takes talent to take everyday, normal people and create compelling characters from them. These are characters you feel like you are invested in and want to see where the future takes them.

It's not an angsty, earth shattering book. It show more is however a thoroughly enjoyable, well-written book that is worth your time!

Go check it out!
