Book Smart by Amanda Pennington

5.0

Wow, talk about a slow burn.

Cameron had a promising career ahead of him in basketball until he suffered a stroke early in his college career. He fought through his recovery and created a new life where he's the head computer/IT guy at the college he works at with Mel and Ivy. Cam's been in love with Mel since the day he met her 5 years ago, while also being one of her two best friends. When she decides to try to write her first book - basing it on how women dated (attracted a man) in the 50s, compared to how it is in the present day - he finds himself trying to figure out how to break through his own issues to get her to notice that he's been right in front of her all this time.

There is virtually no steam or heat in this book. Some passionate kissing near the end. It's still super sweet and was a fun read.
