Dearest Clementine by Lex Martin

Dearest Clementine (Dearest, #1)

by Lex Martin

Twenty-year-old Clementine Avery doesn't mind being called bitchy and closed off. It's safe, and after being burned by her high school sweetheart and stalked by a professor her freshman year of college, safe sounds pretty damn good.



Her number one rule for survival? No dating. That is until she accidentally signs up for a romance writing class and needs material for her latest assignment. Sexy RA Gavin Murphy is more than happy to play the part of book boyfriend to help Clem find some inspiration, even if that means making out...in the name of research, of course.



As Gavin and Clem grow closer, they get entangled in the mystery surrounding a missing Boston University student, and Clem unwittingly becomes a possible target. Gavin tries to show Clem she can handle falling in love again, but she knows she has to be careful because her heart's at stake...and maybe even her life.

Despite Clementine being a bit too icy queenie for me at times, I enjoyed the story. Gavin somehow worked wonders and broke through Clem's ice to the girl who longed to have what her friends have. I look forward is reading Clem's brother's story in FINDING DANDELION.
