Favourite Scene:
‘Doing things you’ve always wanted to do.’
She could feel her skin heating. ‘Things most women have done by the age of twenty-five.’ And since she could guess what he was thinking, she threw the words at him. ‘If you must know, top of the list was kissing a tall, dark, handsome stranger. But I was too chicken and took your photo instead.’
The corner of his mouth quirked. ‘You were going to kiss me?’
She glared at him. Talk about maximum humiliation.
‘Interesting.’
Before she realised his intentions, he’d pulled her onto his lap, slid one hand across the nape of her neck, and then his mouth was moving against hers. Teasing her. Tasting her. Tiny, nibbling kisses along her lower lip that incited her to open her mouth and let him deepen the kiss.

My Review:
Ha! I love the banter and dynamic between the hero/heroine. They fight and they are both intelligent enough to be equals and not be overwhelmed by the other person's strong personality. This is a very realistic romance, you can picture these people existing in real life. The hero is not an alpha, and I kind of liked that, he was a cuddly kind of guy
