2-3 stars. I just don't know. This book had two parts to it. The first part, where Ash is trying to get Fee to date him I would rate a 1 star. It was stalkerish and I cringed just thinking about if I'd been Fee and having this guy stalk me when I gave him no encouragement. But for unknown reasons when Ash arrives uninvited to Fee's birthday party, it's not a big deal and we move into part 2.
This book would have been so much better if it contained Fee's POV. Why he all of a sudden wanted Ash could never be explained. We never really learned why he liked Ash at all. Now Ash is okay. But he spends too much time thinking about sex and whining internally about not getting any for a few weeks. I really couldn't sympathize. However where the book really shines is supporting cast. Ash's friends and family add color and flavor to the book and I'm grateful for them or the book would be a bore....other than the Donovan and Gil who were plot devises too overdone.
I can only guess the authors wanted us to feel exactly what Ash was feeling hence leaving out Fee's POV but I got tired of Ash's whining and couldn't figure out what Fee was doing so in the end I didn't really care if they made their HEA or not. There were some funny moments to be sure but overall the book missed the mark for me.
