Not My Romeo starts with a blind date mix up that I thought was just too cute. Jack loves the idea that someone doesn't know him and so he plays along, pretending to be Elena's date.
After that meet cute, Elena does learn his true identity, but Jack isn't giving up. He ends up getting the part of Romeo to her Juliet in a local production of Romeo and Juliet. Adorable! These two are so different: Jack is a football bad boy with a string of women in his wake and Elena is a buttoned up librarian who has never been satisfied by a man. Her last boyfriend left her for her sister! Elena has some unique talents she totally embraces and I loved that about her. I loved that Jack was tenacious when it came to Elena and that he admitted he was out of his element but not willing to give up.
Overall, Not My Romeo is sweet and sexy so its perfect for a lighter weekend read! There is plenty of humor and both Elena and Jack are characters you will fall in love with. The secondary characters are great as well, and really make the town of Daisy come to life.
Also, I must mention the cover model for Not My Romeo. That face is chiseled! Stunning.
