5 Stars
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this love story
and am giving it 5 BIG, BRIGHT stars! If you root for the nice (but totally
HOT) guy to win, you’ll be rooting for Brian Sullivan. Brian is a teacher and
the father of a teenage daughter. He hasn't been so lucky in love, though. He
lost his first love to Huntington’s and his second to his brother. He wants to
date, but doesn't think he can do the serious thing right now.
Enter
Tessa. She also has a history of Huntington’s, as she has recently lost her
sister and father to the disease. She has been so busy taking care of everyone
else in her life that a personal life is the farthest thing from her mind. She
works with Brian’s brother, and isn't sure what to make of the way Brian makes
her feel when she sees him or hears his voice.
The
thing that drew me into their relationship, and had me rooting for them, was
the real experiences they go through, including Tessa giving advice to Brian’s
daughter about getting (or not getting) the gene test for Huntington’s. Their
story tugs at your heart strings, drawing you into the life of families dealing
with genetic diseases, and the decisions they have to make.

Today best selling author who brought you the Nice
Girl to Love trilogy, comes A Nice GUY to Love spin-off...
Brian
Sullivan has been in love twice in his lifetime. He lost his first love to
early-onset Huntington's, and he lost the other more recently...to his brother.
And somehow, his heart has managed to heal itself after both. Amazingly,
without therapy. That doesn't mean Brian hasn't gotten more wary along the way,
however. In fact, he's been thinking lately that maybe his brother's now
retired nothing-but-flings rule isn't such a bad idea. Unfortunately, being the
nice guy poster boy and all, he isn't exactly versed in the fine art of flings.
So he looks to the outrageously 'unique,' provokingly button-pushing Tessa
Daniels for a crash course.
There's
absolutely no way he's falling in love with this one...right?
Tessa
has no idea what she was thinking telling Brian that she was some sort of fling
expert. She's never been flung before and she sure as heck doesn't know where
or how to begin flinging a guy like Brian. It was a temporary lapse in sanity,
really--no doubt because of the can't-help-but-fall-for-him brain fuzz that
hits her whenever he's around. Not only does the man have her being more
herself than she's ever been in her life, but he's the only person she knows
who seems to have as many demons and skeletons in the closet as she does.
What's more, he's got her thinking of the one thing she stopped letting herself
even hope for years ago.
A
happily ever after.
NOTE:
This is a spin-off of the NYT Bestselling Nice
Girl to Love serial trilogy (#1 Resisting the Bad Boy, #2
Falling for the Good Guy, and #3 Choosing the Right Man).
It is a separate standalone (**NO CLIFFHANGER**)
that can be read on its own, but as with any spin-off, the story
and hard-fought happily-ever-after is all the more satisfying if read after the
trilogy.
