It just really really did not work for me. But I love her style. I see why she works for so many readers. However, this feels like my 3rd disappointment, and I am starting to wonder if her stories just aren't for me.
Plus, I will recycle what I said in my review in Nate's book--her heroes tend to be just a bit too nice--which could be a really good antidote for some readers. Just not this one. How does Talia do this every single time! This is neck in neck with Untouchable! Zach is just so sinfully delicious. In other words, demisexual people only experience sexual attraction a How does Talia do this every single time!
In other words, demisexual people only experience sexual attraction after an emotional bond has formed. All relationships should be that way really. The hotness level was off the charts. I love fake relationship tropes, and this one just took the cake!

Another amazing book by Talia Hibbert! Her romances are just so good for the soul. She always includes representation that is often not represented in romance. I always feel very single after I finished a book by this author because where can I find a Talia Hibbert hero?! If anyone knows then let your girl know. View 2 comments.

My first Talia Hibbert novel and it won't be my last. I love her writing, and fell so hard for Zack and Rae!
Honestly this was not developed well at all. It's the shortest in the series a bit over pages and though I liked the concepts, think that Hibbert did not do a good enough job with the execution. You can't tell us a character Zach is a demisexual and he doesn't like Rae that way, but in five minutes he does.
It drove me crazy. I liked the idea of a nice slow build-up between Zach and Rae and him actually falling in love with her before sex. The whole fake boyfriend thing started to get on Honestly this was not developed well at all. The whole fake boyfriend thing started to get on my nerves five minutes into the scheme. It just didn't make any sense and was dumb. I also shockingly enough for me got bored and fast forwarded through the sex scenes.
There's no there there in this one. And I really wanted there to be. We have know for a while something is up with Zach. I liked that we find out that Zach who used to be the town dog is a demisexual. He has started to seek out other people like him, but gets really tired of people trying to set him up with women and asking what's wrong all the time. He has his friend Rae though, who doesn't expect anything of him but friendship. Until one night Rae gets drunk and comes onto Zach.
What follows is Zach confessing that he is not into her and doesn't want to have sex and Rae saying she doesn't do relationships. What follows is a mess IMHO. Rae we find out has a writing awards convention to go to.
She doesn't want to cause her ex and his new wife will be there. She has a lot of old scars due to that relationship. Though Zach is annoyed with her, he decides to swoop in and be her fake boyfriend it makes no sense, just go with it and the two of them go off to this convention and blah blah blah. Seriously you guys I don't know what to say. I really loved book 1, enjoyed 2, and felt irritated beyond belief with book 3.
If you are going to set it up this way the book should have been longer along with the courtship. Nothing felt real after a while. Even the supposed love. The ending was way too fast and I just shrugged through it. We get an epilogue that just goes into happily ever afters for the whole group, but I just felt all meh about it at that point. I love fake romances and so I was eager to start this one. I loved even more that Rae was 12 years older than Zach.
The author played out the older woman, younger man trope really well. The plot was solid and the writing was excellent. However, for some reason it was hard for me to connect with these characters.
Especiallly Zach. He was a bit too sensitive for me if I'm going to be honest and I didn't find that attractive. An overall enjoyable book that was sexy and emotional. Follow me for your I love fake romances and so I was eager to start this one. Follow me for your next comfort read! Feb 25, Nerdread rated it really liked it Shelves: diverse-main-characters. What I am not happy about was the unnecessary miscommunication that occurred for no reason other than just to create conflict that does not fit with the personality traits of the two main characters.
Their whole relationship was refreshing because they communicate with each other openly, so adding that miscommunication at the end to create conflict was cheap! Over all, a cute story about friendship, exploration of different spectrum of asexual orientation, trust and love.
I recommend! Apr 16, Timitra rated it really liked it. That Kind Of Guy was an interesting, intriguing and enjoyable read. I loved that both hero and heroine dealt with things that I'd never encountered before in books or real life. While I didn't identify with them for the most part it didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying their journey.
I recommend this to those who love Contemporary romance set in a small town with diverse characters and issues. Copy provided by author That Kind Of Guy was an interesting, intriguing and enjoyable read.

Jun 09, Crystal Cook rated it it was amazing Shelves: read-in I love Zach and Rae so much! Zach is once again one of my favorite Talia Hibbert heroes, I don't know how she does it but they're nearly perfect every time! He's a complete cinnamon roll and Rae was such a strong yet vulnerable heroine.
I loved it! Sep 10, Bunny McFoo rated it did not like it. This book is one of those books. I have nothing against alternate sexual orientations - I'm queer, my mom is a sex repulsed asexual, and I once dated an ase Look I VERY rarely DNF books - I'm in it to the end unless it's so terrible that I just can't stand it anymore. I have nothing against alternate sexual orientations - I'm queer, my mom is a sex repulsed asexual, and I once dated an asexual friend of mine for science her request - she wanted to confirm her hypothesis, which we did and I get it.
I'm down. I give less than two shits about the main characters' orientations, but I draw the line when the male lead is so fucking up his own ass that he's actively cruel to people who have no idea that he's not interested in sex. First you get him being nasty in his own thoughts about a woman he'd previously had sex with because she dares to flirt with him and then later you get him being an unbearable fucking jackass to one of his best friends our female lead, frt when she comes on to him.
He's spent the entire first two chapters behaving towards her in a way that reads as flirtation, he gets huffy with his brother when he describes her as "striking" instead of beautiful, etc etc and then when she spills some very difficult confessions about her life and drunkenly comes on to her he rejects her in a way that is just plain mean.
And then, of course, she decides she's harassed him and apologizes. I just - I spent the next five minutes glaring at the screen and then closed the book. But if you're not into preaching tell not show books that have unpleasant leads and which reads like a particularly smug tumblr post then give this one a miss. This is just my opinion though, and there's certainly an abundance of people who loved it. And her young, hot-as-hell new best friend is the perfect candidate….
