The Lineup by Meghan Quinn
5.0

Oh my gosh, at first I didn't remember Jason from the first book, but he is hilarious, and he started out the book making me laugh and gasp at his audacity and total maleness, well, very immature maleness. And once again, I must point out that Meghan Quinn really knows how to make things hot! There was one scene, where Jason described something to Dottie, without actually doing it, and I was fanning myself and extremely hot just reading it! I loved the whole back and forth thing between the characters, the banter, the crankiness of Dottie, and how Jason handled it and gave his brand of snarky silliness right back. Not to mention Jason's interactions with Knox and Carson, oh my gosh, those were some of the best! Jason was really such a sweetie though, you had to adore him. At times he was like a total teenage girl when it came to love and romance. Like when he first got Dottie to go on a date with him, and they discussed about kids, and when he said their 6 kids, and she said there was no way she was having that many, he said they'd adopt them from all around the world, you know, like a Brad Pitt and. Angelina Jolie type of thing. But then he walked in to his friends and the first thing out of his mouth was that he was going to be a father! I was sitting on my lunch break at work, only a cubicle wall away from someone else on their plan time, and I couldn't stop giggling at his antics.

But as hot as Meghan Quinn can make a story, damn does she know how to make me cry! There was the part that must be where she said she had to make it even worse for our characters and that's why it took her a bit longer to finish than planned. And boy, I had tears running down my face at that part. So much that my dog had to climb up and get in my face like he does when I'm crying and he is trying to comfort me. But I had to move him so I could finish reading, because I knew there was going to be a happy ending. And then, well, let me just say there is a 10 year part that Quinn put in, and thinking back to the first book, because I haven't read the second one yet, I seriously screamed "NO!" when I read that line. I'll let you read it yourself, but let's just say that soon after she was making me laugh and I was okay with the 10 year thing. Because, that's just Jason, and we'll leave it at that.
