“Marriage is a partnership, and partnership takes work.”
“Yeah, well… It’s just a bunch of songs that make me think of you.”
I stand corrected. He just blew way the hell past cute and was bordering on adorkable.
“I love you, too, Eden. I don’t care if you believe this or not, but I intend to love you for the rest of my life. I know I’m knew to this and I know it’s way too early to say this kind of stuff, but I can only tell you what’s in my heart.”
“Besides, I should thank you for helping me avoid dating. I’ve never wanted that. All the guessing and head games and drama, it’s never been attractive to me. I think people who romanticize that stuff are full of shit, because every time they break up it’s all crying and whining and even more drama before they start all over again on the next one. I can’t stand wasting time on lost causes.”
My thoughts exactly. Gad, Logan, you always say the right things to me.
Eden was the heroine of the story and she had just broken up with her boyfriend (who had cheated on her) before moving to a new town. She started out her senior year of high school in a bit of a funk from the betrayal of her ex-boyfirend but she quickly found new friends and eventually decided she was ready to try dating again. She ends up dating Logan and they share all of his firsts together. There was very little drama between the two and I really liked that.
Logan! He was amazing. I will be honest, I’m a bit jealous of Eden. He was sweet and kind and loving and really enjoyable to read. I liked that he was a virgin in the story. It’s not often you read a story where the guy doesn’t have loads of experience so this was quite refreshing. I felt like it was done really well, he still had those normal hormonal teenage boy urges, and he let Eden lead them in this department. After he became a bit more comfortable in their relationship he wasn’t afraid to tell her about the things he wanted to try, and he was always eager to please. Their relationship was definitely on the fast-track but I felt like it worked for the two of them.
Oh! I wanted to say that scene when they’re in Logan’s room, exploring some of the things he has on his computer was insanely hot. It was probably one of my favorite scenes in the book!
I really enjoyed this book, and I would suggest it to anyone looking for something sweet and happy. I’m sure I’ll end up checking out some other books from this author.

"...I'm tired of smarmy guys who think they're all that. I'd rather have someone who didn't know what he was doing, but was honestly willing to learn."
"He's not the kind of guy you play games with or try to outsmart. He isn't looking to hit it and quit it."
"I feel like I won the million dollar jackpot the very first time I played. Why would I keep trying to get something better? There is no better. I'm not stupid - I know how to cherish the treasure I've been given."
