Being a hopeless romantic has never faired Eden Holland well. For all her expectations of being swept off of her feet, to public declarations of love and swoon worthy date nights beneath the stars, she's suffered only broken hearts, failed first dates, and a long list of let downs. Still, she dreams of her own cliche love story, and when an exchange of texts begins with the nameless man she saw at a bar, she is quick to fall head over heels. Sebastian Walker is a charmer, and he knows it. He has been since his teen years, when he spent most of his time flashing a pearly grin at the girls in the corridor, splashing on dates every other week, and letting them down easy and gentle. He hasn't changed much, and for all of his weekends spent tangled in a different girls bedsheets, he's still never called one back the next morning. Yet, when he's left a mystery girls number in a bar, and her replies are nothing short of uninterested, he cannot help but press send. But is it love at first text, or will the serial dater and the love story singleton be a recipe for disaster? --- #2 in mature, slow burn This book can be read as a stand alone, but character cross overs occur from my first and second book, 'Mr and Mrs Nemesis' and 'In Drunken Matrimony' respectively. Buckle up for the cliches, foul language, and the stuff that means I have to rate this book mature.
