Again props and applause to Christina Lauren. Man, can they write one sexy mother f***er. I'm not joking.

Oliver is smart, thoughtful, witty, humble. He's got his shit together and he knows what he wants - and that's Lola. He's not afraid to look stupid, he's not afraid to be vulnerable, he's not afraid to say I love you first. He's seriously the entire package.

I obviously could go on and on about Oliver.

Which brings me back to Lola and why I rarely venture into M/F these days.

Again, like its predecessor Mia in [b:Sweet Filthy Boy|18775297|Sweet Filthy Boy (Wild Seasons, #1)|Christina Lauren|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1395723782s/18775297.jpg|26751379], I have to remind myself that this is NA after all. This is about finding yourself and learning from one's mistakes and undergoing growth. Ugh. So it comes as no surprise whatsoever when that tried, true, and trite foil happens every stinking time - you know, the one where bad decisions are made and feelings are hurt. I knew it was coming, I was prepared for it, and I pushed through and endured.

This writing duo has never failed in creating fabulous males and depicting them in all their steamy, smexy glory. They're so good in fact, I'll continue to give them a pass and overlook that repetitive female annoyance.

Thus all 4 stars go to Oliver.
