The Half Baked Plan (Love in No Man's Land #2)

So many "I'll read this book next"s...Becca Jackson's second book ("The Half Baked Plan") in her Love In No Man's Land series just came out...so why not just read that instead...

["Lucas
Fire took out my business, my apartment and almost my life a few weeks back, and now I’m living in my best friend’s house while I rebuild, and he travels the world. He found his perfect match and now It’s time I found mine.
After years on my own, I want a family, but I have zero hope in finding my match while I’m still completely crushing on the hottest builder in the world, and to make matters worse, he’s now my roommate.
I thought sharing a house with Carter would help me get over him. I’d see why he’s never had a boyfriend, or anyone worth bringing around town. I’d discover all of his faults up close and squash the perfect god-like image I’ve cemented in my mind all these years.
Problem is, no matter what annoying habits I jot down on my list, the more time I spend with him the more I’m convinced Carter is everything I will ever need. Now I just have to figure out a way to tell him.

Carter
With Michael traveling the world, it’s just Lucas and me in his house while we rebuild the café, bakery, and apartment. I’m happy for Michael. I really am, but seeing another friend get their happy beginning shines a light again on the fact that I might never get mine.
I’m sick of being everyone’s best friend, yet no one’s boyfriend. I want my happy beginning too. I want someone to pick me. To want me. To love me.
So I do what any single guy would do, I sign up for speed dating. Blind dates suck but I’m never going to find the one if I don’t start putting myself out there.
The problem is, the more time I spend living with Lucas the more I realize, I don’t want any of these random hookups. I want the sweetest guy I’ve ever met. The one who bakes me cookies to make me smile. So now I have to figure out a way to show him I can be an awesome boyfriend. I can be his happy beginning if he will just give me a chance out of the friend zone."]

I planned on reading this book in one night...then I got sick and it took me a few days instead.

But the warmth and the fluff and the sweetness and the baked goods and even the light angst helped make me feel loads better. I mean, honestly, it was almost a slow burn, but it didn't feel like it, because their feelings and their relationship progressed, and they grew closer together and fell more in love even before they kissed for the first time. It was glorious. 

Now I need the third book and I'm desperately hoping it's Ari's and Marcus's...desperately.
