Recommendation
Abe was sweet and smart, but when it came to Skylar, he was a bit of an idiot. He had to do some groveling, which is always a favorite part of mine to read. What made it even better was Abe asked for advice from one of the biggest jerk characters Sara wrote in this series, but who had found his own love story. Their interactions were hilarious. But, once they both put aside their misgivings and admitted to themselves that people make mistakes and forgive people, their relationship was perfect and swoony.
I laughed a lot reading this book, and it wasn’t just the hero and heroine, it was the side characters that Sara wrote into the plot. All of her books in this series have such great side characters and I loved Skylar’s best friend. She stole the show whenever she was in scenes and I cannot wait for her story.
Excerpts
"Dry-humping you is neat and all, and I want you to stroke my cock, but what I really want is to fuck you. So bad."
I fucking love her. One swipe. One date. Sweet. Salty. Bratty. Kind – and all mine.
I make a mental note to tell him he doesn't have to be such a damn gentleman all the time. It's okay to be dirty with me.
Publisher synopsis
ABRAHAM DAVIS—Honest Abe to his friends—IS IN OVER HIS HEAD…
He’s a fixer and a do good-er. The all-knowing, resident "grandfather" on the wrestling team who everyone relies on to fix their problems. His teammates go to him for everything; advice, homework, or when they need a sober driver at three in the morning–whether he likes it or not.
Abe’s current mission is easy: mend his roommates broken heart by helping him find a girlfriend on the LoveU app–without getting caught in the lie…
SKYLAR GABRIEL. IS. OVER. IT.
Over her bad grades. And over dating douchebags. What she wants to know is: where have all the nice guys gone?
She longs for a handsome, sweet, and honest guy who can make her laugh. In one last ditch effort to prove that he exists—Skylar turns to LoveU.
On her worst day, Skylar has no filter (it’s a miracle she hasn’t been ditched mid-date).
On her best, she’s as wholesome, and sweet, as pie.
On Thursday? She matches with Abraham Davis’s roommate.
Skylar Gabriel is falling for the wrong guy—she just doesn’t realize it yet.
Why?
BECAUSE ABE DAVIS IS A LIAR.
