F F contemporary romance with humor, lots of steam, sex positivity and many many toys.Cade from New York, who's been pigeonholed to be the “boring accountant” by her family, and the free-spirited ex-artist Selena come together to try to save Cade's aunt's sex toy shop. At the beginning I had some trouble with these two characters, who both seemed a little too one-dimensional. Especially Selena comes across incredibly naïve to the point of feeling unrealistic. But then about a third/half into the book, they both start being more balanced, and multi-faceted. This is also when they start opening up to each other, both on the business side as well as romantically. When the two get together... It's fireworks. They're so good together; supportive, sexy and cute. Even the conflict feels so real. I actually especially related to their conflict, since I almost broke up with my significant other that way at the beginning of our relationship.(We've now been together for almost 9 years)One of my favorite parts of the book was the sex positivity and all the sex toys that were introduced in the steamy scenes. Especially in straight romance books, this is never brought up, or if it is, it's considered to only be important for solo acts. I loved that this book addressed the fact that they can enhance the experience and talked about sex and genitals in a free way, without reservations.I loved the journey this book takes both of the characters through. I love that they realize they're more than who they or others thought they were. And no spoilers, but I loved where they ended up in the end, not tied to expectations of others.One final note is that the book does get a little spiritual at times. Just as a heads up, if this is an issue for you. I had a bit of trouble getting through those parts, but I didn't let that impact my overall experience of the book, or my rating.Overall, even though the beginning of the book was a little rough for me, I really enjoyed it once the romance started and found the sex positivity to be a fresh of breath air.
