{ excerpt } .
“You know, I’ve been thinking—”“Good God, don’t strain yourself.”
“—and I’m thinking that I need a better nickname for you. Sweet cheeks might be accurate, but no one in my family is going to believe I’d call the woman I’m in a relationship with something that…lowbrow.”
She tilted her sunglasses down to stare at him over the top of them. It made her amber eyes stand out all the more. “How about you call me nothing at all? Because that sounds ideal from where I’m sitting.”
“Nah. I’ve always been a fan of pet names.”
“One—I can tell. Two—save your pet names for your actual animals.”
She’d left that one wide open, but he chose to ignore it. Just this once. He twined her hair around his finger again. “I was thinking bunny.”
“You can call me bunny if you want to provoke me to actual physical violence.”
Yeah, it didn’t fit, either. He relaxed back into his seat, starting to enjoy the idea of this. “Cherry.”
“Hard pass.”
“Cookie.”
“No way.”
He wondered when she’d noticed that he was still stroking her hair. He hadn’t been lying when he said they would have to put on a good show for his family. That meant he had to get her used to him touching her, at least in these innocent ways. Or that was what he told himself as he kept playing with the ends of her hair.
And touching in the not-innocent ways?
To distract himself, he said, “Peaches. No, don’t look at me like that. You got to pass on three—that’s your limit. And you smell like peaches.” He leaned a little closer, keeping one eye on the road, and adopted his best Nicholas Cage voice, “I love peaches. I could eat peaches for hours.”
“Ew, gross.”
He sat back and laughed. “You have a problem with a man worshiping you that way?”
“I have a problem with Nicholas Cage comparing my lady bits to a fruit and, frankly, the image of him down there is enough to kill any desire the act would cause.”
She sounded so horrified that he laughed again. Or he started to. The problem with teasing her like this was he was now picturing himself between her thighs. Quinn shifted, trying to get his instant physical reaction under control. His cock wasn’t in a cooperative mood, though, and his brain kept serving up images of Aubry’s back arching, her fingers digging into his forearms, her head thrown back in ecstasy he was giving her.
Jesus Christ.

My goodness gracious, I love the characters Ms. Robert brings us. Aubry was so incredibly fun to love. She's a gamer and so very not like the cowboy, Quinn. Quinn, too, was fun to truly get to know. He needs to stay clear of his family's matchmaking at his sister's wedding, which is how he ends up with Aubry, the one woman he can't see to hold a true conversation with.
These two were awkwardly cute! Which isn't surprising on Aubry's side, but it was a welcome distraction with Quinn. Their story is a true enemies to lovers type, and their journey is fun and had some comical moments--including the epilogue. Their banter, their fighting, their (eventual) loving... I couldn't get enough of these two! They may be my favorite Foolproof couple to date... I know, I know, there's only Adam and Jules to compare to (and my goodness, I loved them in this book) but Aubry and Quinn were a hoot (gotta love that Aubry channels some Katee Robert too).
