This book was entirely different from the story I had expected. It was a pleasant surprise that the author put a unique twist on the romantic relationship by making the hero a virgin. At heart it was a sweet coming home story about two friends finding their way back together and discovering they were perfect for each other all along.
This story was so well written that it was infused with feelings and I could tell that Matt and Dara had a real close bond. They had real history together, best friends growing up, despite a family feud that never died down. They were always there for each other, so much that Matt donated his sperm for Dara so that she could have a baby after her cancer treatments were done. Sadly, they fell out and drifted apart for a decade, until circumstances threw them back together again. Matt was now a self made billionaire retired at a young age , back in their hometown struggling with some health and family issues. Dara shows up newly divorced and now carrying his child. They rekindled their friendship when she offers to let Matt be a father to their baby. Things get interesting, and sexy, when she discovers that Matt is still a virgin after all these years. Dara has been around the block a few times and agrees to teach him a few things in the bedroom.
These two had a great chemistry and the relationship was well developed so that it was believable. They did a lot to support each other throughout the story, and I felt their bond, the devotion and their curiosity as the relationship became more romantic. That’s not to say that they didn’t stumble a few times along the way. There were some mistakes and hurt feelings, but the most drama came from their circus of overbearing, feuding in-laws. It all ended in a realistic way after Matt and Dara stopped playing games with their family. I liked the nice epilogue and how nothing was magically glossed over.
Overall, this book was incredibly well written. It had an easy pace and some lighthearted humor, the dialogue between Matt and Dara being a subtle combination of snarky and touching. To sum it up it was a thoughtful romance, with love scenes that were hotter than I had imagined. A very enjoyable book !
