Melt for You by J. T. Geissinger

Melt for You (Slow Burn, #2)

by J. T. Geissinger

A wallflower gets seduction tips from a playboy athlete—until love changes the rules.

Socially awkward Joellen Bixby has a date every Saturday—with her cat, a pint of ice cream, and fantasies of the way-too-handsome Michael Maddox. She’d give anything to win over the unattainable CEO of her firm, but how can she when she blends in so well with her cubicle? The answer may be closer than she thinks.

Cameron McGregor is a cocky, tattooed Scottish rugby captain who just moved in next door. He’s not Jo’s type—at all—but the notorious playboy is offering to teach the wallflower everything he knows about inspiring desire. Though a lot of women have rumpled Cam’s kilt, Jo is special. Far from the ugly duckling she thinks she is, in Cam’s eyes she’s sharp, funny, and effortlessly sexy. Now, thanks to him, Jo is blooming with confidence and has the man of her dreams within reach.

Unfortunately for Cam, he’s just helped to push the woman of his dreams into the arms of another man—and now he’s in the fight of his life to keep this beauty from getting away.

**AN ARC WAS PROVIDED FOR AN HONEST REVIEW. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN**

I love a good slow burn, add in one of my favorite sports to watch, rugby, and the friends-to-lovers trope; you get a heartwarming, hilarious and sweet read! I am totally in love with the ever so charming, Scotsman, Cam.

Man, I have to say that I've never been so frustrated with a heroine before. But she was such a character that many can relate to. With a low take on herself and a crush on her very married boss, you'll be wondering what she'll experience on her journey to her HEA. Melt for You is inspired by the Ugly Duckling we all grew up to know when we were kids. More than anything Joellen definitely surprised me, I loved her witty sense of humor and she's a lot stronger than she thought herself to be. She is also extremely blind and can't see what is right in front of her. C-A-M-E-R-O-N

Cameron McGregor ... EVERYONE needs a Cam in their life, he's just ... everything! Super swoon-worthy and one of my favorite heroes up to date. He was completely smitten with Joellen from the very beginning and he was quick to notice that she wasn't exactly feeling the same. And his little plan to help her get in shape and boost her confidence to make the guy she loves to finally notice her when Cam is the one who has always seen her as beautiful since the beginning. Clearly, this was all a ruse to get Joellen to see him, but ... Clueless Joellen.

I still can't get over how oblivious Joellen was. Girl, Cam is absolutely perfect and is taking time out of his day to be with you. But girl still can't get the hint and it'll drive you absolutely bonkers! In the end, I did love seeing her growth, she definitely came a long way. And it's a beautiful sight, just like she already was.

Their story was such a fun one to read with so many hilarious and steamy moments. There's no denying Cam, that's for sure. Absolutely enjoyed this one.
