This is a real feel good, pick me up type of book, that'll have you laughing in no time. The off the charts chemistry between these two was simply irresistible and steamy as hell. The characters are both wacky, and their behavior is off the charts unbelievable. Haley is your typical shy bookworm but she's got a lot of sass and fire underneath it all and it was really great to see her come out her own shell. Jason is absolutely delicious and his obsession for baked goods was freaken hilarious. Jason and Haley are adorable, sweet and kept me laughing out loud throughout the entire book. As a unique friendship develops, both Jason and Haley find themselves dating each other without actually dating one another, only time will tell if it will develop into something more. After five years of getting the cold shoulder from his neighbor, he is delightfully surprised to find out she is a baseball fan, cooks sinfully delicious goodies, and a total blast to hang with. Jason Bradford loves women, just doesn't love them enough to start a relationship with him. The story line was simple, and although it wasn't action-packed, I did not want to put this book down. This story was sweet, romantic, and fun! The characters were lovable & I enjoyed the playful interaction between them.
