About this ebook

I'm not the kind of girl who expects happily ever after. In fact, I prefer my partners don't get too clingy. Don't get me wrong. I like a good night of loving, but beyond that, I’m happy to see them leave in the morning, without my phone number.

Then I met him. 

Quinn is a big bear of a man, with massive hands and amazing...staying power. Like all night long and the next morning kind of staying power. So when he asks me to spend the next day with him, I do. The only reason I give him my number is because he makes me laugh. And, okay, so I might have met up with him once or twice.

That doesn't mean I need him. Because I am Everly Freaking Spencer, and I don't need anyone (other than my bestie), and definitely not a man.

Only...

He shows up by chance at my store, which totally freaks me out. Finding out he's my favorite author doesn't help either.

And the surprise that's dropped in our laps later that day?

Major. Freak. Out.

But, like I said, I don't need anyone.

Right?

If I keep repeating that, I might just believe it.

Author warning: Get ready for a trip into the hippiest little town in Texas. There's gossipy little old ladies (LOLs), an app that every teenager hates, trips to Denver and Cali, a woman who is convinced true love doesn't exist, and man who aims to prove her wrong by doing things to her that should embarrass the author. And she was. (Not really). Along the way readers get to spend time with the gorgeous Hawthorne brothers and gay ducks. SERIOUSLY. GAY. DUCKS. Just get the book already because you know you want to know about them. Also, there's a happily ever after fit for a woman with commitment issues and man who just doesn't know when to give up.

Everly likes the single life. She only has sex when she travels so that no one in her small town will judge her for her choice to only have one-night stands. She has her reasons! Quinn is still getting over the dissolution of his marriage and isn't looking for a relationship. When Quinn's brother introduces him to Everly, it's instant chemistry. She's determined to limit their time to one night but he wants to explore the instant connection he found with her. Let the games begin! This is a sweet romance with some small-town antics, old ladies, an app (darn you JSE app!), repeat hookups, funny brothers, and unexpected consequences. Did I mention the wacky best friend? Yeah, there's one of those, too. I really enjoyed this story. Everly is smart and sassy but she's not obnoxious. Quinn is quiet and consistent but not boring. This is not a challenging story full of excitement and adventure. This is a love story between two adults who need some time to figure it all out. I think this book is related to something else the author has written because there are a couple of references that seemed kind of misplaced. It didn't take me out of the flow of the story but it made me wonder what I might have missed elsewhere. Also, Everly's reason for only having one-night stands was a touch weak, in my opinion. I was expecting something catastrophic but it was more like a series of small wounds that lead to her decision. Again, not a deal-breaker to enjoying the story. Now to the big issue I had with the story. Everly didn't recognize Quinn? Given her background and his, I don't see how that's possible. I really don't. That's all I'm going to say on the topic. This story made me smile which counts for something in my opinion. If you enjoy light, fun love stories then I would suggest giving this a try. This is a contemporary love story set in hotels, bars and a funky small town. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Okay, this had to be one of most funnest, funniest, sexiest, and entertaining reads ever. I loved Quinn and Everly and his need to keep proving her wrong. The banter and back and forth was amazing and the inner dialogue even better. The ducks...seriously, I would re-read this again just for the ducks.

Everly has no place in her life for men accept for one night stands so when Quinn infiltrates her life, she is thrown for a loop. Quinn has a plan and for the moment he will let Everly be in control but when he shows up at her store and then finds out that he is her favorite author, the game changes. Will it lead them to a chance for happiness? This story will have you in their corner to get that chance to find out!

About the author

From an early age, USA Today Bestselling author Melissa Schroeder loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.

Since her first published book, Grace Under Pressure, Mel has had over 60 short stories, novellas, and novels published. She has written in genres ranging from historical to contemporary to futuristic and has worked with 8 publishers although she handles most of her publishing herself. She is best known for her Harmless and Santini series.

After years of following her military husband around the country and world, Mel happily lives with her family in horse and wine country in Northern Virginia.
