Lennon is a PICU nurse and she’s trying to save a beloved theater. Ruben is an attorney representing the person that is trying to buy the theater. To her, he’s the devil. To him, she’s trouble, in the best of ways. They can’t get each other out of their heads, and soon they begin spending time together. There’s more going on that meets the eye though, and it could ruin Ruben’s career. Are they both willing to risk it?

I’ll be honest, when I first started the book, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. It felt really repetitive, and after a single encounter Ruben was majorly obsessed with Lennon. I didn’t understand it and it just feel kind of icky to me. I’ve met someone and thought about them, sure. But, I didn’t all of a sudden feel like I was addicted to that person. Especially not at the ages that these characters were.

However, things slowed down to a regular pace after that and I really enjoyed the rest of the book. I was slightly afraid that everything was going to feel rushed, but I really liked that Ruben and Lennon took some time to get to know each other. They went on dates, they texted, they talked on the phone. If something interrupted their plans, they went with it. They didn’t rush into bed with each other (though, they did get there!).

Ruben turns out to be a cinnamon roll MMC underneath a tough exterior. He’s a cinnamon roll for Lennon and that’s the best kind. He made the decisions that were good for him and his future with her, and he didn’t think twice about it. I really wound up loving his character.
