I, Makayla Alexander, am on a mission to reinvent myself. So when a super hot guy boards the plane and flashes his rock hard abs, I pay attention. When he sits next to me and offers me his nuts, I canβt resist. But when I choke on them and he tells me I need to work on my gag reflex, I realize I might be in over my head.
Before I know it weβre in the lavatory and attempting to join the Mile High Club. Let me just say this...anyone who tells you itβs easy to get it on at 37,000 feet isnβt telling you the truth. After the flight attendant busts us for getting frisky in the air, the only thing that can ease my total and complete mortification is the simple fact that I am never going to see him again.
Hours later, I canβt help but wonder if fate will ever allow me to become a new version of myself.
Because Fate, sheβs a fickle bitch.
Case in point...my seatmate is my new next-door neighbor.
Even with the whole fate thing we have going on, we are so not meant to be together. Heβs all cool and sexy in that make love not war kind of way. Guys like him are dangerous. With that bring-you-to-your-knees body, that handsome-as-hell face, and that dirty, dirty mouth, I guarantee one glance from him wets every girl's bikini bottoms.
And then thereβs meβ¦the quirky girl looking to find herself in California. All I want to do is learn to let loose. Say words like peace and groovy. Bury my toes in the sand. Who knows, maybe even have sex on the beach.
Unable to get him out of my head, I entertain the thought of being more than just friends. I know the idea is absurd. And yet, I go with it. You see Camden Waters gets me. Really gets me. Like no other guy has before.
On this 7-mile stretch of paradise, I decide to keep things simple and just have fun...that is until fate decides to screw with me, again.
Can two people hell-bent on finding themselves realize the search should have ended the day they met? Find out in No Pants Requiredβa sexy, funny, romantic stand-alone, that will have you hurrying to grab your bathing suit and rushing to the beach to check out every lifeguard on duty.
Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.
The title and cover to this book do not do the story justice. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I started NO PANTS REQUIRED, but I found myself fully immersed in the story of Cam and Makayla. From the first moment these two are on a page together, they had that spark that kept me interested.
After a chance encounter on a flight from New York to LA, Cam and Makayla find their lives intertwined and need to figure out how to navigate a fledgeling relationship with each other while making the changes to their lives that drove them to flee New York. Β These two don’t make it easy on each other, but when they finally figure things out it’s great.
Cam and Makayla had an instant spark, but I loved how Makayla fought that attraction to Cam. Β She was insistent she was going to change the direction of her life and do something for herself, despite what she felt for this man. Β Cam pushes for more, but in a way that still allows for Makayla to make her own decision. Β This is how their relationship worked and made it so enjoyable. Β The push and the pull felt natural and you could feel it in your bones that these two characters really did enjoy each other (as friends and lovers).
The secondary characters were enjoyable as well, making me hope we get another book or two with Cam and Makayla’s roommates (I smell a romance there).
Don’t let the title to this book or the cover scare you away. Β It’s so much more than either of those things. The characters are wonderfully flawed and an absolute pleasure to follow through until the last page.
