Mr. February by Nicole S. Goodin

4.0

Jackson is drinking himself to death in his restaurant after closing, when Katie comes waltzing out of the bathroom. After helping him upstairs to his apartment, and then staying the night to make sure he stays alive, Jackson tells her the reason behind his drinking: his ex cheated on him with his best friend. And the second the air is clear? Well, the sexual connection is immediate. Katie sneaks out while he’s sleeping, going their separate ways…until she walks about into his place again, where he apparently doesn’t just live, but owns! Their flirty banter picks right back up again, but they put the sexual tension aside long enough to become fast friends. They continue to deny their feelings, even to their friends. Jackson is convinced he’s still hung up on his ex, but he’s really caught up on the pain she caused. He quickly realizes his biggest fear is losing Katie because of it. And he won’t let that happen. I laughed so much through this book. The banter between Katie and Jackson, Jackson and his best friend Bryn, Katie and her best friend Tillie, and of course any time they were together. I didn’t realize this was fade to black until the second time it happened. Which is odd because I tend to prefer the nitty gritty details. But there was just something about Katie and Jackson; I never felt the need to have the sexual bits.
