My Rating: 5 Stars
Series: Yes, Boyfriend Material #1
Sex Scenes: Yes.
Subject: Running from love can only bring you closer to it.
Synopsis:
I was only trying to help a friend. I swear. I was legit asking for a friend who was finally ready to date again.
I knew what she wanted in a man -- smart, funny, ambitious, well-read (no, the sports section doesn't count), and plays a wicked game of badminton.
So I did what any good friend would do. Posted it for her. It seemed like a good idea at the time — I’d weed through the candidates, and bring her my top picks.
But then he responded.
Is it wrong to date the guy I screened for my bestie? Not asking for a friend.

Linc and Amy were perfect for each other from the beginning, but for different reasons, they weren’t looking to settle down.
Linc was focus on work, he was escaping his past and needed a fresh start that didn’t involve getting involved with someone he had to share close quarters with.
Amy has no time to date or even hook up. She is focus on her work and getting the promotion she knows she deserves; but when she runs into Linc everything changes, resisting him will prove to be an impossible task.
Both realize that they are a bad idea waiting to happen, so they try really hard to distract themselves with other people or other tasks. Little did they know that there is no escaping fate and their love story is just meant to be.
Funny and sweet love story, I felt connected to the characters and I found the pace a comfortable one. The author gave us time to get to know them and she gave the characters time to develop feelings in a more natural way.
I really enjoyed it!
Excerpt: “No. I was just getting the lowdown on office allergies.” He moves closer, leaning against the bar, looking like a tall drink of man. I break out my mental yardstick. Yup, I’m betting he’s over six feet. I’m going with six foot one. Which might even push him to a fifteen on the goes-to-ten babe-o-meter.
“So you’re on drinks detail,” I say, trying to sound all cool and casual, like I’m not busy sizing him up.
Not consumed with checking out his arms. Not occupied admiring his blue eyes. Not tied up enjoying his smile.
He points his thumb at his sternum. “New guy. That means I fetch all the drinks and buy them too. And you? What put you on errand duty?”
“I made my friend snort her drink out her nose.”
He looks impressed. “You officially have the best reason for being on drink detail.”
I preen, enjoying his praise. “Why, thank you. I was hoping to win that contest.”
“What was the snort-inducing remark, may I ask?”
Flashing back, I recall the culprit—my “you need V-time” comment to Peyton—but that’s too personal to share. I give him another one. “I referred to her ex-fiancé by his proper name.”
Clark Kent gives me a curious look. “Is his proper name amusing?”
“Of course. It’s Richard Cranium,” I say, and I wait. Will he pass the test?
