4.5 Stars! 
 I really enjoyed this book. It's the first I've read from this author and won't be the last. One of my favorite things I enjoy is humor in my books. While I wouldn't label this a romantic comedy, there was enough humor in it that kept me very entertained. It also had its fair shair of romantic angst and it was a slow burn love that started of in a unique way. 
 What I loved about this, besides the humor, was both main characters. Joe was described as a big, blonde lumberjack with tattoos. He wasn't exactly shy but he wasn't cocky either. He's the big guy that's kinda clueless about his own appeal and was just an all around friendly, loyal and easygoing guy. Alex is your typical pretty but nerdy introvert. Despite her social issues she was a strong woman and brave enough to go out of her comfort zone for the right reasons. 
 The way these two met was funny and cute. Joe's brother had him set up an account for him on a dating website. After the first contact with Alex, Eric flaked out on the website. When Joe went to shut down the account, he saw Alex's email and responded as Eric. He was intrigued by her and thought it harmless to continue emailing her. When Alex got the nerve to fly out to Idaho to meet Eric, she gets a surprise when she finds out he has no clue who she is. The way the author handled the way these two met and kept bringing them together was very well done and I was completely engrossed in this couples fumbling. 
 What I didn't love about the book was the way Joe handled the plot twist towards the end. Without giving it away I'll just say this, I hated how he handled things because he hurt Alex in the process, but I couldn't hate him. He was dealing with a lot and people aren't always the best in sad circumstances. However, I did love how Alex handled herself. She's a better woman than me and she's the reason these two had their HEA. Great book!
