Nina Ford doesn’t like to put all her eggs in one basket. She works multiple jobs, she enjoys multiple hobbies, she dates multiple men.

In her thirty years of life, Nina has never come across a man who has all the things she’s looking for.

She loves fun and excitement—and she has a man for that.

She loves confidence and humor—and she has a man for that.

She loves intelligence and ambition—and she has a man for that.

She loves passion and romance—and she has a man for that.

She’s always been content rotating a few men in and out of her life to get her needs met. But when Russell Long, her designated “Fun Guy”, shows her that he’s good for more than just thrills, it seems too good to be true. Nina finds herself in a predicament.

She's found everything she's ever wanted in a career in one job.

She's found everything she's ever wanted in a partner in one man.

Inevitably, her eggs are bound to get cracked.

Like her back.

I’ll give it a 7.5-8. It was a good and simple read. I enjoyed it and I would recommend anybody to read this book if they’re trying to get introduced to urban romance. I wish Nina had more dialogue with the rest of her roster. It was only two or three dates and that’s it. Her dialogue with Russ was repetitive which I didn’t like as much but it was good book.

I really loved Nina and Russ! They both stood on business about what was important to them. Nina is confident and sexy, she is the plus size fashionista and role model I wish I had growing up. Russ was a a romantic who was successful, attractive, and very intentional about everything. Russ never let anyone disrespect Nina, and Nina didn’t take any shit from anybody. I loved their romance. Throughout the story I was just praying the other shoe wouldn’t drop with him, <spoiler>and even when they did have their conflict he realized the fucked up and corrected himself because his anger was misdirected. </spoiler>
