Review;

Joan Kilby writes a fun, fast paced read that’s filled with friendship, love, tension of both the sexual and friendship type, romance and humour in Mad about You.  I really enjoyed this book, as I found it was very easy to relate to the characters and storyline.  Cassy and Scott run away with this one and you can’t help but find yourself swept away on an adventure that moves from friendship into romance and love.

I really liked both Scott and Cassy.  Cassy is smart, funny and a social butterfly, whereas, Scott is a computer geek who’s more comfortable in front of his computer figuring out his latest project, then having a relationship.  It was a lot of fun watching these two together.  I swear poor Cassy couldn’t have spelled it out more to Scott about how she really feels about him had she slapped him over the head and put a sticky note on his forehead so he’d see it next time him looked in the mirror.  LOL!!!  Watching Scott bungle his way through a fake engagement, then later realizing that yes he truly is in love with Cassy and needs her in his life and is trying everything under the sun to convince her he’s genuine was quite funny, yet charming.  I really enjoyed the ending of this one, seeing Scott and Cassy finally together and in love the way it was meant to be.  The perfect ending to a sweet romance.

Mad About You is a perfect book for a lazy Sunday afternoon where you can just sit back with a nice cup of tea, or glass of wine and relax while you enjoy a sweet and charming read.  Scott will have you shaking your head at his obliviousness where Cassy is concerned regarding her true feelings, while at other times chuckling over his bungling ways.  Cassy, she’ll have you rooting in her corner for her and Scott to make it to that that HEA.  Miss Kilby has done a wonderful job writing a romance about two long time friends who move from a BFF relationship into one of love and romance, that had me smiling, and laughing all the way through it.

Until next time, Happy Reading.
