About MELT FOR YOU:
A wallflower gets seduction tips from a playboy athlete—until love changes the rules.
Socially awkward Joellen Bixby has a date every Saturday—with her cat, a pint of ice cream, and fantasies of the way-too-handsome Michael Maddox. She’d give anything to win over the unattainable CEO of her firm, but how can she when she blends in so well with her cubicle? The answer may be closer than she thinks.
Cameron McGregor is a cocky, tattooed Scottish rugby captain who just moved in next door. He’s not Jo’s type—at all—but the notorious playboy is offering to teach the wallflower everything he knows about inspiring desire. Though a lot of women have rumpled Cam’s kilt, Jo is special. Far from the ugly duckling she thinks she is, in Cam’s eyes she’s sharp, funny, and effortlessly sexy. Now, thanks to him, Jo is blooming with confidence and has the man of her dreams within reach.
Unfortunately for Cam, he’s just helped to push the woman of his dreams into the arms of another man—and now he’s in the fight of his life to keep this beauty from getting away.

My Thoughts:
Joellen Bixby is a woman who seems uncomfortable in social
situations. Cameron McGregor is a man
who knows what he’s got and not afraid to use it. Are these two going to end up as friends? Will Joellen ever come out of her shell? What’s really going on with Cameron?
Be prepared to laugh, a lot, at some really bad jokes. My dad wouldn’t have read the book but I know
he would have loved the jokes. Even
Cameron will get you to laugh. Besides
the jokes there’s plenty of tension, couldn’t find the right word but maybe
after you read their story you will figure out the word I was searching for,
between Joellen and Cameron. It’s a book
that once you pick it you will find it almost impossible to put down.
I know this was Joellen’s story since it was told from her point
of view but there were times where I would have loved to know what Cameron was
thinking. You’ll have no trouble knowing
what he’s doing – Joellen is very good in letting us know. It’s also smart not having Cameron’s point of
view because it leaves you turning the page to see if there are any type of
hint. This seemed more like a story
about a woman with low self-esteem finally having the light bulb go on and show
her that she can’t let her family define her.
Cameron is the perfect character for that. He’s also good in showing her that she may
say she wants one thing but really doesn’t know that she actually wants
something else. At times it may feel
like the author is leaving us hanging – have you trying to figure out where
she’s taking both us and her characters.
But the ending will more than make up for that.
