Books like this one make me sad that I didn't have a best guy friend to make my own pact with. The banter between Reese and Erin had me laughing out loud constantly. I loved the steamy scenes, especially how Reese would do something that is so often a part of sex scenes in books, and Erin would tell him that no, she didn't like that. I loved that, because if you read all these romance books, like I do, you start to think you're weird if you don't enjoy something that always seems to be enjoyed by the women in the stories. And then, when she calls him out for his "ABCs"?! OMG! That totally took me back to my college days, and my sorority sisters and I prank-calling a guy I had a crush on. There was just so much in this book that was realistic, and that I related to so much. Another thing I loved was that we got a lot of the happily ever after in a few chapters at the end, something that I often feel is missing, even with epilogues. This is my second book by Carrie Aarons, and I know that it will not be my last!
