“How many drinks have you had?” Dane asks, grinning.
“Umm…” I count on my fingers, trying to recall.
“Maybe four? Or, like, five?” I shrug.

He takes a sip of the rum and Coke I made him, before
bringing his eyes to mine. “I really a sorry, Emma. I feel like
shit about the whole thing.”

“Assholes cause it,” he agrees.
I giggle. “You’re funny! How is it you can be
funny and hot? You can’t be both. You have to
choose one or the other,” I announce bossily, but jokingly. Kinda.

“Gah! You’re smart, too? This is so
unfair!”

He leans toward me, his soft puffs of breath skating over my
face. “You know, you’re funny and smart and so fucking beautiful,
Emma. But you’re also humble and kind, and sweet enough to give a guy
like me a toothache.”

“Oh, my god,” I whisper.
He leans in further and then his fingers hold my chin,
keeping me in place, as his lips sweep across mine. I open up for him and
his tongue invades my mouth. Soft, sweet, slow. He tastes like
peppermint breath mints with a hint of spicy rum. I kiss him back with an
intensity I didn’t know I possessed.

Screw You was my first book by Kasey Millstead. I
was happy with it! It was a very light and quick read… like I finished it in an
evening. Although, I didn’t go in knowing it was a novella. I actually would
have liked more. I really liked Emma and found myself rooting for her. I’m
going to try and be vague here… I wasn’t exactly sold on the ending. There was
an event; we’ll say, that I wasn’t sure how it happened. I get the happily ever
after and all that but Emma’s total “Screw You” moment just didn’t seem exactly
right to me… no matter how much I loved that! Who doesn’t love sticking it to
the snobby too-good head cheerleader?
I
received an ARC of this book with the hope that I will leave an Unbiased
Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my
opinions are just that... my opinions.
