Randy and Lily were perfect for each other!!
Randy is not a man looking for commitment because he doesn't want to be responsible for hurting anyone - thanks to his father for that fear. He is known to just have a good time, but once feelings start to show he leaves. When he meets Lily, he expects for it to be the same way.
Lily has just broken up with her boyfriend of 7 years - although it was over long before that. She has never been a hook up kind of girl, but why not give it a go and just have fun for a while? She thinks a no-strings situation is just what she needs right now.
Lily and Randy lay down some ground rules and agree that this is a mutual agreement for causal. After some time together, Lily finds some quirks about Randy and Randy is discovering that there might just be something different about Lily.
I enjoyed the balance of Randy and Lily. The banter and the passion between the both of them was so easy to root for. They both had some pasts that they needed to unpack. While Randy didn't normally talk much to those he hooked up with, Lily was so easy to talk to. She never made him feel any type of way and that was new to him. It was so wholesome to see their connection grow, even though they were both pretty much in denial about it the whole time. I liked how they balanced each other out and their development of their relationship.
I will mention - this is the first book that I have read in this series, so ngl the way the girls talk about their rendezvous was a bit odd to me and first and did need some getting used it!
