Almost Jamie by Gina Robinson
4.0

4.5 really. So, this one popped up in one of the daily emails I get about free e-books, and with my recent falling in love with and obsession over Outlander, I knew immediately I needed to read it. And so when I downloaded it, it was only a few days before I gave in to my temptation to read it. It was a quick, hard to put down read. Although it was a bit frustrating to get so close to the end only to realize it was going to have a cliffhanger! Now I must buy the next one. So good job by this author! She got me hooked with a free book so I will now buy her others. I've discovered quite a few of my new favorite indie authors this way. Authors that I will now buy their books, all of them, often having to buy the physical copies because I know how much I will love them and want to reread them.

One thing about this book that grabbed me was that I had been thinking when I was attending my own local Comic-Con how much I wished there would be people there from Outlander. And in this story, the stars from the book's version of Outlander are at Comic-Con. I mean if Sam Heughan was anywhere near me, I'd probably faint, but I still want it to happen some day! To be in a room listening to him talk in his Scottish accent, I'd be just sighing constantly, and probably pretty worked up as well. Another thing in the story that I liked, I wish that there was a dating service like the one Austin works with. I'd join. Also, when he mentions that guys will hide their insecurities by acting indifferent, well, not just guys. I do that as well. If I act that way, then the person I like won't know if they've hurt my feelings, right? Anyway, this was a good one. I highly recommend it, the reason it didn't get the full 5 stars is because of the cliffhanger only.
