Rahul and Jasmine met at university, had a super hot and kind of awkward sexy time, and then decided they would be better off as friends. Well, Jasmine decided. Rahul agrees, as he would rather have Jasmine in his life forever than just have a few nights of sex. See, Jasmine is sure that she ruins everything and she can't stand the thought of breaking delicious, beautiful, and serious Rahul's heart. Seven years later and still best friends, Jasmine needs to move into Rahul's apartment when her's is ruined by a flood. Forced proximity leads to Rahul and Jasmine's first kiss (they slept together but never kissed) and to the very serious realization they may both be desperate for the other. Such a lovely, angsty tale. I always really enjoy prickly heroines, and Jasmine may be one of the prickliest I've read in recent times. I liked Jasmine's assertiveness, free spirit, and especially her sexual confidence (Jasmine is bisexual). On top of this Rahul is a "clean-eating," gym junkie, work-a-holic control freak but never judges Jasmine's lifestyle choices or holds them against her. These two couldn't be more different on paper, but worked together as best friends and lovers brilliantly. So nice to see a virgin (at least for a brief time) hero. Hibbert writes almost "too perfect" heroes, but I'm here for it.
