New author, same old binge-reading habits. Crystal Lacy, the new(ish--to me--sorta) author. "Kissed In Paradise", the same old binge-reading habits.
["Cary:
My impromptu vacation before a job interview in Hawaii gets interesting when my best friend books me a “tour guide” for four days from Valentine’s Inc—a date-for-hire app. The guy he hired? Fei Li, an ex-classmate from high school and the guy who made me realize I was gay in the first place. Now Fei’s determined to give me my money’s worth, and I don’t know how I’ll be able to go through four days of fake-dating with him and keep from sinking deeper into my infatuation. Don’t know if I even want to try.
Past and present collide when a last-minute gig turns out to be my high school crush, the football team captain who once walked in on me with another player in the locker room. I’m determined to prove I’m no longer the angry, nerdy kid I once was—even if being around Cary Jackson makes me feel like a teenager all over again. I’m going to make our four dates rock his world, all without crossing the professional line I’ve set for myself after a disastrous slip in the past. This is all pretend. I’ve got to remember that. No falling for a client."]
This book is the ninth installment of the series Valentine's Inc. Much like the Bold Brew series, each book was written by a different author but all within the same universe. Maybe after I finish reading the rest of Crystal's books, I'll check this series out more.
This book!!!!! It was so sweet and fluffy!
I kept thinking what if they had gotten together in school, when they both originally had those crushes? But it wouldn’t have worked out. Cary wouldn’t have had that time to process his sexuality and he out and proud. And Fei wouldn’t have had the time to accept himself and become the confident person he was in the book.
The timing seemed hard and awkward, but it was also inevitable and really kinda perfect.
