Almost in Love

Absolutely adorable! Two horrible dates to finally finding their way! So cute!

It's a cute and sweet story, perfect for a quick read on a lazy weekend.

I hate giving bad reviews, and I don't review books often. I could not stop rolling my eyes and I wanted to stop reading this several times. I read so many books and given the great reviews, I decided to read it. Yes, the geeky guy goes for the girl, great. The problem was the drawn out scenarios and "dramatic" events that occurred during the book. The parts where you would want more details were cut short. I was already half way through it and I couldn't wait for it to be over. I would find a different book to read, don't waste your eye rolling time.

I loved Barry and Amber's story! I have a soft spot for geeky guys and I always root for them. At first it seems like Amber and Barry are mismatched but they are perfect for each other! I loved all of the secondary characters too and can't wait to read their stories! I would definitely recommend this book!

Started out great but then it just went on, and on.

Well written. Easy to read. You will not regret it. Read it in one day, couldn't put it down.

Almost in Love is the first book in the Clover Park STUDS Series and tells the story of how tech-nerd and fro-yo shop owner Barry falls in love and wins over the heart of hot artist Amber. Let me start by saying that this was a very entertaining read that I finished in one sitting. It is very easy to get involved with the story and the well-developed characters the author created. I really liked how Barry came into his own and won over Amber without having to undergo some big makeover like in some other stories, it was all about confidence, self-esteem and learning how to communicate better with the people in your life. Having said that, I only give five starts to my absolute favorites and there were some things that stopped this book from being one of my new personal favorites: Barry was all about being intense and making big gestures, all with the best intentions, of course, but were just a bit too much for me at times; the way he would just think about having sex with her everywhere and all the time made me a bit uncomfortable at times; the way Amber was towards Barry at first seemed a bit dismissive and snobbish for me, like she thought she was better than him. Amber and Barry’s journey is a very interesting and sweet one and I would recommend it to anyone who likes stories with sweet and sexy nerds that get the girl in the end.

This was my first book by Kylie Gilmore; I received a copy from her in exchange for my honest review. I love books where the characters are mostly just every day, ordinary people. Barry has always been the underdog. He's not athletic and has always been kind of nerdy. When he meets his new neighbor, Amber, he falls hard for her - but she has a boyfriend. Amber has issues from her past that she hasn't really dealt with. Their path to happiness is rocky and kept me wanting to finish the book quickly so I could find out how things turn out. The book is at times humorous and other times serious. I really enjoyed reading it.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I really liked this book with an interesting storyline and characters. My only problem was when it referenced the prequel. It was fun to watch the disasters of dates faced by the two characters, but that didn't mean the end for them.

Barry is the thing you miss that's right in front of you. Although I can't imagine how since he pulled out all the stops to get the girl. This book shows how a non tradition guy gets the girl with old fashion traditional courtship of laughter and selflessness that pays off in a major way. Him getting the girl!!!
