Synopsis:
Sexy, successful and stylish, Autumn Jones believes in love. She believes in the all-consuming, mind blowing enormity of love. She believes in the euphoric state of loving and being loved. She believes in it because she’s had it once. And when it was lost, she was devastated, but she never stopped believing in the existence of love. Unwilling to settle, she learned from the past and moved on with the expectation that she’ll love again.
Beautiful, talented, and slightly jaded, Summer Wilson believes in sex. She believes in the all-consuming, mind blowing enormity of good sex. She believes that love exists, but Prince Charming does not. At least not for her. She’s seen the downside of love—insanity, heartbreak, infidelity, divorce—and she dates with the expectation that she won’t ever subject herself to that type of vulnerability. Instead, she chooses to love her family, her friends, and her work. And although she enjoys the company of men, her heart is hers and hers alone.
Best friends since elementary school, Autumn and Summer kick off the summer by embarking on a dating experiment. Unfortunately, expecting the unexpected doesn't prepare them for what the dating world has in store.
Donna's Thoughts:
Autumn Jones is a hopeless romantic, but was crushed by who she thought was her one true love.
First, I have to say that this is the third book I have read from this author and it is SO much different from her first two. This is a funny, light-hearted, romantic story and I loved it. However, in all honesty, this author needs to consider writing erotica; that first chapter had me running for an ice bath, holy hell!! Beyond Danielle Allen’s gift for steamy romance scenes, her characters are funny, sweet and truly likable. I absolutely love Xavie;r he’s so much more than a hot, rich man. Autumn and Summer have an incredible relationship having been best friends for 24 years. There are a few other major characters, but I don’t want to spoil the story so I won’t mention anyone else by name, but I will say this is a MUST read. I give this book 5 stars and 3.5 hands down the pants. Come on Ms. Allen, give us some more S-E-X!!

“You know that sleeping with a guy after the first date is not my thing. I have to get to know him before he can get all of this.”Summer Wilson doesn't believe in love; never has never will. However does believe in really great sex.
“None of the potential suitors were my type, but really, what is my type? Am I too picky?”Now living together after Summer’s boyfriend cheated on her, Summer convinces Autumn that they need to choose men for each other, because as best friends, they always know when the other’s date is not the right one. For the next month, each woman needs to set her friend up on 10 first dates, blind dates. Do you trust your best friend enough to set you up on 10 blind dates?
“I know. That’s not. Your boyfriend.”
