"One daring to-do list and a crash course in flirtation turn a Type A overachiever's world upside down. When her flailing department lands on the university's chopping block, Professor Naya Turner's friends convince her to shed her frumpy cardigan for an evening on the town. For one night her focus will stray from her demanding job and she'll tackle a new kind of to-do list. When she meets a charming stranger in town on business, he presents the perfect opportunity to check off the items on her list. Let the guy buy her a drink. Check. Try something new. Check. A no-strings-attached hookup. Check...almost. Jake makes her laugh and challenges Naya to rebuild her confidence, which was left toppled by her abusive ex-boyfriend. Soon she's flirting with the chance at a more serious romantic relationship--except nothing can be that easy. The complicated strings around her dating Jake might destroy her career. Naya has two options. She can protect her professional reputation and return to her old life or she can flirt with the unknown and stay with the person who makes her feel like she's finally living again"--… (meer)

Trigger warning: includes intimate partner emotional and physical abuse.

This was such a great read. I fell in love hard with the love birds. It’s exciting to watch two people you care about fall in love each other.

I feel the trauma experienced by the main character - caused by an ex - was accurately described. Folks that have experienced intimate partner abuse may not be able to enjoy reading this book and that’s ok! Know your limits.

Enjoyed this one! Love to see main characters that are attractive but also nerdy and nice.

A darker vein runs through this as the heroine is a survivor of domestic abuse and that creeps in to her life in various ways.

There’s plenty of sex included here but there’s also a lot of banter and it shows why they fall for one another. ( )

*A Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this. This is my honest and unbiased review*

This is the first book I've read of Denise Williams and (Spoiler alert!) I can't wait to read more! First, let's talk about Naya, she's maybe my favorite romance protagonist ever. Naya has been through a lot which makes her pretty closed off especially to romance, but as she opens up to Jake (and in turn us the readers) we see this passionate, intelligent, and funny woman come to lie. I don't blame Jake at all for falling in love with her because I did. You just can't help it.

Jake was also just amazing and dorky that from the get go I was rooting for the two of them. While I was expecting a quick sexy read, I was once again hit with characters who had depth and a story that deals with deep issues. I do love the way Williams writes, which had me enthralled with the characters since the very first chapter.

Overall, a wonderful sexy romance with characters you can't help but love. ( )

I really enjoyed this read. Characters were wonderfully pun-ny, with strong secondary character personalities in MC Naya's friends. I'm a sucker for character development, so i absolutely loved that we really get to see Naya grow and re-learn how to trust in herself and others over the course of the book. It touched on several hard topics (that I won't name b/c spoilers) in a way that felt respectful and realistic--I really appreciated that the author is willing to acknowledge that "yeah, in this situation these issues or -isms or consequences would come up." Definitely delivered on the promise of the girl with no game ending up with the genuinely great guy who's perfectly imperfect for her. As a bonus, he treats her well, is exceedingly competent, knows his way around the female anatomy, and is willing to navigate both their sets of baggage together. Now if only I could find such a unicorn... ( )

I'm a 3.5 here. I actually teared up at the end because I felt so hard for Naya, but in the middle I almost stopped reading because it felt very predictable and there were a few too many sex scenes.

The banter in this was phenomenal! I loved hearing all their inside jokes and seeing their relationship develop. And the way that Williams dealt with abusive relatonships was deft and strong. I'll look forward to her further books.

Flip and Joe are awesome. ( )
