Carrie is plain, quiet and doesn’t really give a sh– what people think. Her priorities in life have absolutely nothing to do with dating or relationships. Quite the opposite, in fact, seeing as how a relationship is the absolute last thing she wants. Ever.Joe is charming and charismatic, but the only thing he’s ever worked hard at in his adult life is his job. Outside of being a cop, he’s only … he’s only interested in things that come easily, and that includes women. He gives the women he sleeps with respect, affection, and mind blowing orgasms – but that’s all he gives.
After being brought together by a mutual friend, Stacy, Joe and Carrie don’t exactly hit it off. They are the exact opposite of what the other looks for in a lover, yet they can’t fight the growing attraction that blossoms between them.
Under the pretense of wanting to be friends for the sake of Stacy, Joe sets out to win Carrie over, but his normal charms don’t work on her. And the more he tries to win her friendship, the more he realizes that friendship is not at all what he really wants.
Carrie’s willpower is strong, but it’s no match for Joe’s persistence, and despite her reluctance, Carrie finds herself falling for Joe in a way that she’s sure will cause irreparable damage in the end. Because nothing good ever comes out of hooking up with someone you care about, and why should this time be the exception?
Tainted pasts, crazy ex-lovers and flying dildos notwithstanding, Carrie and Joe find themselves venturing into unknown territory. It’s not easy, but it’s hot as hell, and luckily they are both too stubborn to give up easily on something that feels a lot more real than a short fling.

OMG this was such a great book. I totally loved it. I laughed so much reading this book. I also cried and screamed some. All and all a well rounded great book. Great job Jen. Keep up the great writing.
There’s a quote that truly describes how I feel now that I finished this book.
You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.” ~Paul Sweeney
That’s how I feel right now. Maybe it’s because this series is over, these charters are gone, and now i’m truly depressed! I loved everything about this series but this was the best one yet!
Carrie was more reserved than the other two Leads in this series. She was still funny, but so reserved, I liked it. She was the most vulnerable and it worked for her. She had these outgoing friends and while at times you could see her insecurities, you truly felt like she was with ok with it. She didn’t want to let herself feel for Joe. She fought it. The best part about watching her fight herself is seeing the her demeanor change when she was around Joe, it will have you cracking up the whole time!
Joe was a total alpha and as funny as Stacy! (That’s saying a lot). From the start you could see him change. It was so funny to watch him fall. I’m not sure why, because we have seen it before, the hero fall for the heroine…… But Joe falling for Carrie was epic beyond anything I’ve read!
Joe and Carrie balance each other out perfectly. With Friendships with the other couples in the series you can be sure that madness would ensure and boy did it happen. I was laughing half the book, and spent the other half waiting to see what was going to happen. The feel of this book was a lot tamer then the previous books before it. It worked well for this story and for the end of the trilogy.
Overall this book was the best yet! Total 5 star read! Pick up this book and the others and carve out time in your schedule to read this book. You won’t be sorry you did! #2OCCJD
It seems all the crazies are in this one book, group of people, and it’s mostly the women who then convert the men.
This book was hard to get into. It spent more time describing the characters thoughts instead of the characters actually interacting. This made for a very slow-moving book.
Not good hard to read! Lost interest!
Didn’t like Carrie or Stacy. Just an okay read
