Kissing Me Tomorrow (Valentine's Inc #8)

Taking a short(ish) detour from tidying up TBR piles by reading the rest of the Valentine's Inc series (I read the ninth book a bit ago when I was binge-reading through Crystal Lacy's stuff). The eighth book in this series is titled "Kissing Me Tomorrow," and it's by Ashe Winters. 

["A Valentine’s Day blind date. A spark they didn’t expect. And a secret that might ruin it all.

Malcolm
My friends are tired of my moping after my ex packed his bags and took off a year ago. I thought I was in love, he obviously wasn’t. In order to get them off my back, I agree to one Valentine’s date that they’ll set up using the company Valentine’s Inc., which two of my friends run. What I don’t expect is the fun, flirty date with my wet dream—a young Johnny Depp lookalike.

Levi
To make ends meet, I work for Valentine’s Inc doing what I did to survive on the streets… charm the pants off men. Except, with Valentine’s Inc, the clients have to keep their pants on, which means I only have to do the charming part. It’s an easy job until I find myself on a date where the tables are turned, and I’m charmed instead. Too bad it’s against company rules to get physical with a client. For once, I wouldn’t mind exploring this crazy spark between us for something more. Then again, there’s always tomorrow… when I’m off the clock.

Just when Levi thinks things might be perfect between them, a run-in with an old friend reveals his difficult past to Malcolm before Levi is ready. Will Malcolm accept it and fully ignite the spark between them? Or will their whirlwind relationship come to a crashing halt?"]

This book was sooooooo gooooood! They just kinda matched. They both had shitting pasts and hang-ups and what-ifs, but the double meet-cute? Yes, please.

It was hard for both of them to open up and get close. Levi, for obvious reasons (being kicked out after coming out, working and living off the streets), had a worse time and constantly didn't think this could be real, let alone that he deserved it. Mal wanted more than anything for this to work, but he refused to push Levi, refused to ask him questions and make him uncomfortable and feel unsafe. It was hard, but they made it work.

And...another author I'll be adding to my need-to-read list.
