Synopsis:
They say opposites attract, but this is just ridiculous.
Aubry Kaiser doesn’t like people—actually, that’s not right. She
loathes people. With her crippling anxiety, there’s no way she can demo her
favorite video game at a convention with five thousand other people. Maybe if
she brings someone to act as a shield…
But the only person available is the sexy cowboy she can’t stand.
Quinn Baldwyn is in a mess of his own. He’s been dodging his wealthy
family’s matchmaking attempts—and life advice—for years, but with his sister’s
wedding on the horizon, he needs of a shield of his own.
He and Aubry can barely hold down a civil conversation, but in
bed…fireworks. And the closer they get to Quinn’s sister’s wedding, the more he
realizes that he might actually like Aubry.
Now it’s up to him to convince her she might actually like him, too.

Oil and vinegar is all I can say about Quinn and Aubry. When mixed the right way it makes for a hot read.
This book is about family breakdowns, family love, crippling anxiety's, breaking down walls of protection and finding a love of a life time. The author does an exceptional job of keeping the friction between these two cranked up just enough to keep the reader involved throughout the storyline.
I have never had an anxiety like Aubry so it was interesting being swept into her feelings and reactions. Definitely not something I would like to have to live through but I got a clear understanding and compassion for those who do. Quinn's reaction and how he handled it make me like him more and it is clear that he had more depth of character than he let people believe.
This story is fast paced and full of thought provoking scenes. I give this 4 STARS for that reason.

She pinched the bridge of her nose. “If I say
you’re right, am I ever going to live it down?”
He didn’t answer, and she opened her eyes.
Their reflection was slightly distorted in the passenger window, but even she
could see he had a seriously tense look on his face. She belatedly realized
that they were pressed together, her back to his front, and that he was…
Oh my God. She couldn’t resist leaning back into him, just a little. Yep, that’s not a micro penis. A shiver worked its way through her, leaving goose bumps in its wake, and her nipples perked right up, showing through the thin fabric of her T-shirt. There was no way he didn’t feel her reaction, not with his arm creating a band across her ribs, his forearm against the underside of her breasts.
Even as she noticed, he started to release her, his hand sliding over her stomach, but he stopped when he hit her hip, his pinkie finger dipping below the waistband of her shorts, just a little. It wasn’t anywhere near anything vital, but that little intrusion made her moan all the same.
“Fuck.” The word was barely audible, but she felt it in the way his body tensed behind her.
She shivered again, torn between telling him to back off and getting the top button of her jeans all undone for him. If she didn’t make a decision—and fast—he was going to back off again. It was written all over the tension she could feel emanating from his body.
Aubry started to reach for his hand, still undecided on whether she wanted to encourage or threaten him, but he moved, bending down to brace one hand on the truck in front of them, the other still on her hip. The move brought his mouth against her ear, and his harsh exhale made her shake.
She arched against him. She couldn’t help it. Her body took over, a primal part of her knowing he could give her all the pleasure she could handle, and was only too happy to extend an invitation by rubbing her ass against his hard length.
His grip on her hip tightened, but he didn’t try to stop her. “You’re playing a dangerous game.”
She knew. They had to stop for so many reasons, the least of which was that they were on the side of a freaking highway and it was only a matter of time before a car drove past.
But she didn’t want to stop.
