Hold Me Close by Vanessa Vale

OK cover on this one. Good representation of the characters. OK composition and title work.



This one was cute. It was a little repetitive in places, and I am not a fan of 26-year-old virgins. But it was very insta with no OW/OM drama and had two (fairly) likable heroes. Matt was his own worst enemy at times, but Ethan was pretty much perfect. Rachel was likable but like I said I could have done without the whole unrealistic virginity. And maybe I am a bitch, but the incident in her past seemed a bit benign to have warranted such an extreme reaction from her for YEARS. Of course, there were some hot sex scenes as well. Lastly, it was wrapped up in an OK ending. I would have liked to have seen a further into the future epilogue for these three. All in all, it was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours on a dreary Saturday afternoon.
