Super sweet with exceptionally likable main characters.

Win was born to a single mother who was so desperate to find a man that she sublimated her life and her needs to those of the many men who floated through their lives. Win was also born with a small and minimally functional hand. She functions just fine with her limb difference, but it has caused pain in her life, mostly due to others' reactions to it. Her mother's issues with men have actually left more scars. After Win ends a long and terrible relationship where she allowed a man to play her she decides she prefers to be on her own. She sinks into an easy if unfulfilling professional life and finds her respite in her relationship with her wonderful best friends who are married to one another, and were high school sweethearts. She also has lots of interests and her life is mostly good enough. When those best friends throw a Halloween party she meets a very alluring man (I won't provide details, it is a fun meetcute) who also has limb difference. His is from a recent leg amputation following a cancer diagnosis. Things happen which throw them together and we ride alongside.

Both main characters are nerdy, smart and kind, so it is fun to hang with them and root for them. There is some steam here, but despite it being detailed (especially with respect to cunnilingus) I did not find it terribly hot but YMMV. Like the characters' actions in the rest of the book, their sex scenes seemed polite, thoughtful, and pleasant. I mean, they are Canadian, maybe that is a thing? (JK! That is joke for my Canadian friends.)

This one is recommended for anyone looking for the warm fuzzies, like a Hallmark movie but with lots of oral.… (meer)
