My Review:
Gimme S'more by Erin NicholasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ollie is a fun character. His imagination is incredible and it takes his friends to help make his ideas a reality. They often have to apply restraint but it’s so much fun to experience. Piper comes in to help keep Ollie focused on track to for the video game they developed. She loves post-it notes and organization, something Ollie doesn’t understand, but together, they make a great team and Ollie gets his work done. Along the way, Piper falls in love with all of Ollie’s wonderful craziness. Ollie however, doesn’t believe he is worthy or love or that he can love someone. Getting him to realize this is a hard task but Piper is definitely up for the challenge. I love Piper and she had to make some hard choices in this story to get what her heart desires. She also had to realize she needed to open up and be more spontaneous to let Ollie soar. Ollie has to grow up a little and open his eyes to what has been around him the whole time. Even though his biological family doesn’t know how to handle him, he had created his own family to love. Love all the members of the fabulous Hot Cakes family and how they have built an incredible bond to love and support each other. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Excerpt
The guys were going to kill him.
Ollie scrubbed a hand over his face.
They wouldn’t be surprised, of course. But they were
going to be pissed.
They’d all known that Piper quitting was a risk and
that one day she’d probably wise-up and lose her patience and that would be it.
They’d also all known that when it happened there was
a 90 percent chance it would be because of Ollie.
The other 10 percent chance was that it would be
because of Ollie and Dax together.
And now it had finally happened.
If it came down to choosing between him and Piper, he
wasn’t sure he wanted to know how that debate would end up. Or how short the
discussion would be before they decided they wanted and needed her more.
That was only one of the reasons he hadn’t told them
yet.
The other was because he was still processing the part
where she’d said she loved him.
What was he supposed to do with that?
She wasn’t just supposed to say that out loud right to
him, was she? He had not been expecting that. The guys and their girlfriends had
insinuated for a while now that Piper might have a crush on him but no, he
hadn’t expected her to ever say anything herself.
It was a might
have. A crush. Okay, they were
adults and maybe adults didn’t have crushes exactly, but everything anyone had
said suggested that it was just that Piper thought he was interesting at times
and that she didn’t hate spending time with him.
But a crush wasn’t love.
For fuck’s sake.
And it had to be Piper?
Piper Barry was amazing. She was gorgeous. She was
smart. She was capable. She could do anything. She was funny and sweet and
sassy and tough.
She was intimidating as hell.
What was he supposed to do with her now?
What was he supposed to do without her now?
Well, the solution seemed pretty obvious. She’d
basically given him the answer herself—I
can’t be in love with you and work for you. And the only one of those two
things I can change is the working for you part.
So he needed to get her to not be in love with him anymore. Then she’d come back to work and
all would be fine.
Now he just had to get her to realize she could do a
hell of a lot better than him.
Of course, he’d been a pain in her ass for five years now. If that
didn’t do it, he wasn’t sure what would.
