Review:
This is my favorite book in the series. Levi and Willow are so realistic as a couple and I love how he defends her to her parents. Grammy is hilarious. Can a crush really turn into the love you have always wanted?
Seeing each other at the bar where he works and she has girls night, is one thing. But, actually being the boyfriend she made up, that was based on him, is another. The reader can feel their connection growing as the trip continues. This was a fantastic journey.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

Excerpt
“I must say, Willow. Well done.”
It was really hard to relax in the massaging chair while getting the
world's greatest foot rub when all your grandmother wanted to do was talk about
sex.
The car ride over had been hell.
The only silver lining was that her mother had opted out of getting
pedicures–she thought the salons were too unsanitary.
I wish I had thought of that…
“Gammy, please…”
“All I’m saying is I…” She paused and seemed to consider her words.
Reaching over, she held one of Willow’s hands. “Now, don’t be upset with me,
but…”
“But…?”
“But I was beginning to think you made him up.”
Eyes wide, Willow had no idea what to say. Her mouth seemed like it
was moving, but no words came out.
“You were always so vague on the phone whenever we talked about Levi,
and at first, I thought you were just being shy. Then I thought you didn’t want
to share because the relationship was new and you didn’t want to jinx it.” She
sighed. “But after a while, I thought he was a figment of your imagination, and
honestly, I didn’t want to embarrass you by calling you out on it.”
Maybe I can go for a bikini wax and get away from this.
“When the two of you pulled into my driveway though, hoo-wee! I got a
glimpse of Levi and thought, what a lucky girl you are!”
Seriously, hot wax all over my crotch would be less painful…
“And his hands! Oh, my…he has the kind of large hands that you know
can make you tingle in all the right places!” She shook Willow’s hand
excitedly. “Is he a good kisser?”
“Gams, I’m really not comfortable talking about this with you. Or
anyone, really. What Levi and I have is…private.”
“Sweetie, there’s nothing wrong with sharing just a little bit. It’s
all harmless fun. I mean, I’m 75 years old. It’s not like I haven’t been where
you are. I mean, your grandfather–God rest his soul–was a wonderful husband and
a fantastic lover…”
“OH MY GOD!” her hands
flew over her ears.
“Sex is a healthy part of life! I’m not asking for specifics, just a
general idea. Although, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wish for you to have a
fantastic sex life too. You’re young and pretty and have such a curvy little
body! Honestly, I wish my boobs were still…”
“Lalalalala!” Willow cried out as she stuck her fingers in her
ears.
Gammy swatted at her arm. “I never would have pegged you for a prude,
Willow. I have to say, I’m a little disappointed.” And with a dramatic sigh,
she turned her attention to the nail attendant who was massaging her feet.
“That feels wonderful. Thank you.”
They sat in silence for several minutes until Willow couldn’t take it
anymore. “Okay, Gam, here’s the thing,” she began carefully. “I’m just not used
to…you know…talking sex with anyone other than my friends. My mother never
talks about it…”
“Your mother’s too uptight.”
No argument there…
“You know what I’m saying. We never did this before and…”
“You never brought a sexy boyfriend here before.”
“We never did this before,” she repeated for emphasis. “And I’m not
comfortable this.”
“Would it help if I told you a little about my sex life?”
Oh, dear God…
“Remember the night I beat you at Words With Friends and I
mentioned I was going out with Donald?”
“If I say no, can we change the subject?”
“No.”
“What if I say yes? Then can we change the subject?”
“I’m ignoring you and telling my story,” Gammy said stubbornly. “Now,
I wouldn’t say that Donald is my steady beau, but we do out together once a
week, and he has been known to spend the night.”
Groaning, Willow turned her head and rested it on her hand.
Again.
“Viagra is a game-changer, let me tell you.”
“I really wish you wouldn’t.”
“But I really miss the spontaneity, you know? Sometimes it would be
nice to just be able to…you know…do it whenever we wanted rather than waiting
those pesky thirty minutes.”
Another groan.
“One time, Donald took two pills instead of one!” She laughed
joyously. “Now that was a memorable night!”
“Levi’s an amazing kisser! And his hands are a little rough and
scratchy, and I love the way they feel against my skin! And the sex is the
stuff of fantasies!” Willow blurted out loudly and then noticed the entire nail
salon had gone quiet.
Dammit.
Gammy gave her a knowing grin. “I knew I’d wear you down.”
“Gammy…” she whined.
“The stuff of fantasies, huh? Bravo!”
“Yup. Fantasies.”
Mainly because that’s the only point of reference I have where sex
with Levi is concerned…
“I’ll say it again, Willow. Well done. I think he is absolutely perfect for you.”
