Tom\u2019s ambitions were better contained in goal setting, scheduling, discipline. He\u2019d get what he wanted in life methodically, by staying the course, not zigzagging all over the shop. That\u2019s the way it had worked so far, and he had no reason to believe that strategy wouldn\u2019t deliver him everything he wanted.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tom is a big grumpy bear, solid as a mountain and about as fixed in his ways. \u00a0He&#8217;s laser-focused on his career, and the big promotion is within his sights. \u00a0Like Tom, Flick is also very career-focused, but that&#8217;s where the similarities end. \u00a0Tom thinks Flick falls somewhere between an entire circus and an amusement park ride &#8211; effective at her job but in a loud, showy, Energizer bunny way. \u00a0Flick is heading off for her dream job in another state in a few month&#8217;s time but is desperate for some place to stay. \u00a0Luckily enough, Tom has a room to rent at his place. \u00a0Surely this odd couple can put up with each other for three months?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I think we know how that turns out! \u00a0To be honest, while I love grumpy heroes or heroines, I&#8217;m not a big fan of people with Flick&#8217;s \u201celectronic-shockagram, disco-light-strobe, tip-you-upside-down-and-shake-you-while-laughing-like-a-horror-show\u201d personality, and there&#8217;s a scene with glitter that I certainly would not have reacted well to! \u00a0But Flick really grew on me, and she had very good reasons for being who she is &#8211; the youngest child, who needed to be loud and over the top to get attention and get out of the poverty her family accepts as normal. \u00a0Like Flick herself, her and Tom&#8217;s\u00a0relationship is a bit of a roller coaster, from industry acquaintances to friends to lovers back to friends and THEN back to lovers. The coupons the book is named for don&#8217;t come in to play until they already have a roommates with benefits relationship, as a way to count down the last thirty days before Flick leaves. Their relationship was delightfully fun to follow. \u00a0Each character has baggage that makes them the way they are, and makes their chances of a relationship with anyone pretty low, let alone two such different people. \u00a0I almost put the book down around the halfway mark, because I just could not deal with all the feels. \u00a0Luckily, while the second half of the book is still feels-laden, it&#8217;s much happier feels. \u00a0Even the sex scenes &#8211; of which there are plenty &#8211; were intense, emotional and character-driven, including some ridiculously hot phone sex.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c&#8217;I want a happy ending and I\u2019m not going to get one, am I?&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8216;Does anyone?&#8217; he said.<br \/>\nWas he serious? She sat up and thumped the seat. &#8216;Yes.&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8216;You\u2019re sure?&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8216;They exist. They have to.&#8217; Otherwise life was guilt and fear and loneliness and too damn hard.<br \/>\n&#8216;Where\u2019s the evidence? Not from my parents, or yours, or your sisters. Wren is still pining after Josh, which is a kind of complicated I can\u2019t begin to understand. What\u2019s a happy ending anyway, except a manipulation sponsored by Hollywood and Mills &amp; Boon?&#8217;\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As for cons, I had some issues with the way Flick&#8217;s family was portrayed as only interested in her for what she could buy them. \u00a0Some of this really hit home for me, as I&#8217;ve had some experience being the family ATM. \u00a0All it showed, though, was the one-note experience of her family using and using and using her, none of the regular family interactions with her nieces or sister or mom that draw the person back in. \u00a0The family members were rather blatant about using her, where in my experience, it was more passive-aggressive guilting than outright demands for stuff. \u00a0Also, I found the resolution to this part of Flick&#8217;s story unsatisfactory, since after several &#8220;on-page&#8221; scenes with the family, the actual boundary setting happened off-page.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, though, I really enjoyed this book. \u00a0Steamy sex, all-the-feels conversations, and all the best bits of two very opposite people becoming better people because of the other. \u00a0Highly recommended!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trigger warnings: A grumpy hero and an insanely energetic heroine? \u00a0Yay! \u00a0While this looks like a fluffy rom-com, it
