I signed up for an advanced review copy of a book by an author I had not read before. It seems that 9 out of 10 of these books are ok/mediocre at best I wasn’t holding much hope for this being the best of reads. Thankfully this was the AMAZING 1 out 10 that makes up for all the chaff you have to plough through to find them. A solid 5 stars for this fun and heart-warming read.
This book made me laugh, cry and tear my hair out in frustration – but in a good way. All the characters in this book are really well written and if you don’t fall a little in love with Cooper I want to know why not. Both the hero and heroine are immensely likeable and, as the book is written from both POV’s, you get to really ‘know’ them well. The story takes place over the course of a year, and the two main characters have been neighbours for 3 years. That means this isn’t one of those unrealistic instant love scenarios where the couple are desperately in love within moments of laying eyes on each other.
The style of writing is so easy to read and the book has a gentle humour throughout. The editing is generally good, the dialogue natural and the pace of the book keeps you moving along steadily. The author has managed to convey feelings and emotions really well and I found myself caring about both Cooper and Gracie. It’s a fairly quick read, but doesn’t feel rushed or incomplete and left me feeling all warm and fuzzy.
The acid test – yes I will look for more books by this author. This book was good enough to convince me to spend my cash on other stories Frankie Love has written.

The thing is, I’m the play-it-safe girl next door and my neighbour is Cooper Bentley, catcher for the Yankees and all-around alpha-hole … or so I thought.
When he comes over to fix my leaky sink—not a euphemism, unfortunately—he finds my list of New Year’s Resolutions.
And also my Google search history.
Deep down I want to try something new. I’m not a virgin, but the sex I’ve had is vanilla.
Now Cooper knows my naughty side … and he makes me a new list.
My Kinky Resolutions.
Suddenly ball gags, threesomes, and fetishes are all I can think about.
When Cooper offers to be my sex guru there’s no turning back.
This new year is going to start with a bang. Literally.

EXCERPT
It’s probably good I can’t see his face ... I’m already a complete ball of nervous energy, have been all week. With my eyes covered, it’s easier to pretend this is a dream.
“And what are we doing in your apartment?” I ask, knowing I’m already here. Cooper’s place smells different, cedar and coffee to my rosemary and basil. His place is a lower temperature, and the floors are all hardwood here.
“We are going to start your list, Gracie.” His hands are on my face, cupping my cheeks, his mouth so close to mine. I feel his words as they brush against my lips and I inhale sharply realizing this is it.
Cooper is going to kiss me.
The list is real. NYE wasn’t a dream. And he is in control.
“Do you still want to do this?” he asks. His hands move from my cheeks to the base of my neck, and he somehow manages to lift my chin as I sink into his hold.
“What do you think?” I say breathless and hot. Realizing I want this so badly. In ways I have never expressed to anyone because how exactly do you tell someone you are horny as hell without looking a little bit crazy?
But I am.
“I think you’ve been waiting for me to show up for two weeks straight. I think you’ve been staring at the little list of yours, fantasizing about what we would do first.”
“And did you decide?” I ask, swallowing, my chest pounding and my heart whole.
“Yes. I thought long and hard, Gracie.”
“How hard?” I tease, the corners of my mouth upturned and I squeeze my eyes shut tight, even though they are covered because it is insane to think that I am here making sexual innuendos with the Cooper Bentley.
“So very hard.” He presses his body against mine and I feel exactly how hard he is.
Very.
