3.5 stars. A simply sweet romance, a quick and easy read, that is what I'd call Need You Now by J. Kenner. This is my first book by this author, although I've had her books on my TBR list for a while. This was probably the perfect way to get started. While there was a little bit of angst, it was resolved pretty quickly and easily. I definitely was rooting for Cam, he was the sweet best friend of Mina's brother Darryl. Her twin brother, so yeah, same age basically, not really an older brother's friend. I loved his sense of humor, and really need to go back and read the last two books in the series, to get to meet Cam and read about his funny entrance into the Mr. February competition. My only issues are that I wish I'd gotten a bit more back story, but that may have been something from the first two books, and then that there are sooooo many side characters in this short story that at times I had to flip back some pages to try to place who each of them were. It's not that they didn't have their own personalities or anything, it's just that there were a lot to catch onto in the shorter story. But, they only inspire me to read on in this series as it fits in with my current review schedule, leaving the ones I can't fit in for later dates. While it is a series, you can definitely read as a standalone, you'll just want to read the others to know more about all the great characters that you do meet.
