Former firefighter Jesse hasn't been feeling like himself since he was in a career-ending car accident a few years back. History professor Lulu has just returned to her hometown after a rough exit from her last job abroad and is having trouble connecting with her new colleagues. Their mutual friend George sets them up on a blind date that seems to go nowhere...but when both sign up for a study on how adults make friends, the sparks begin to fly, despite a strict no-sexual-relationships rule between study participants.
This is an awkward story about awkward people, and while that may make it more realistic than most romance novels, the writing is also awkward, making the whole book a bit lacking. There are plenty of steamy scenes that will definitely appeal to some readers, but the overall plot and character development leaves a lot to ask for. Meh.
