This quirky dream guy fantasy like read has all the things I look for when reading rom-comms. But, I will say that, this book did fall a little short on the flow, pacing and overall excitement.
I loved Finn, he was pure male fan-service. He did have some moments I wasn't fond off, but that just made him all the more real and enjoyable. A billionaire nerd, my dream come true. He really stole the show for me, and was my fav character in the whole book. As for Aspen, for a girl with an MBA, at times I wonder how she got through grad school. And the way she made fun of Finn's job, that didn't sit well with me at all. Shallow thinking and just plain old mean. I also didn't like how she didn't connected the dots about Finn, it was right there, and I caught on in seconds. Just to put this in perspective, it was her narrative that I connected the dots through, as in, through her eyes, her voice. I just feel like Aspen as dumped down, and there was no need for it; I think she was a missed opportunity. The overall story was a little slow for my liking, and there was a lot of lulls between "action". The book wasn't that much of a rush, but I did still very much like the overall concept and plot.
Overall this story had all the makings of a laugh out loud rom-comm, but just missed the mark. I did however enjoyed the overall story, there's some pretty solid moments, and like I said, Finn is an amazing character and I loved reading about him. Aspen's best friend is also a very solid character and really brought out a good side to Aspen that would have been otherwise missed, and actually made me like her.
So though I have mixed feelings about this book, there are some good things going on, and Finn's and Aspen growing relationship was believable and at times fun. So please take my recommendation and my stamp of approval that even though I wasn't fully on board, reading is subjective and you might fall head over heels for this feisty read.
Happy Reading

Rush ( The boys of RDA #1) by Megan Matthews Rated 5 stars
Aspen Adams is starting her new job in a new town. Her apartment isn't everything she dreamed of but it will work until she can get something better. She has this landlord who had a crazy list of rules she had to agree to before she could move in. One day she has a near accident and this handsome guy saves her. Turns out he is crashing in her neighbors apartment. His name is Finnegan McRyan. Finn sees this beautiful girl and he wants to get to know her better. He stops by Aspens place one evening with pizza to watch a game. There is a strange man there who does a lot of posturing so Finn is thinking they are an item. After a few grueling hours the man decides to leave and also tells Finn to take care of his SISTER. Finn was so relieved. Things are going great until Aspen goes to help a friend and Finn's past starts rearing its ugly head. For two people who are just getting to know each other can they overcome this issue to move forward?
I enjoyed Aspen and Finn's relationship. There were many, many cool moments in this book. One is where Finn is explaining what rush means to Aspen. He says “ we’ll use speed and surprise to race in and conquer anything before they realize we are there. Kind of like what I am doing with you.” He taps her chest near her heart saying “ you won't even know I’m in before it too late”. How amazing is that!
