A Big Surprise for Valentine's Day

This was the last of the four holiday novellas Lau released, and I thought this whole series was really fun.

That said, A Big Surprise was probably my least favorite of the four - but I gave all three other books either four or five stars, so a 3.5 is still pretty decent. There were a lot of things I really liked about this one, but a few things that gave me pause.

The meet-cute in the grocery store and the openness and banter about buying condoms: A+

BUT, there was not a lot of character development for Sebastian. Though it was great that he stood up to his parents when it came to not disparaging Amber.

Lau's books are generally pretty open-door when it comes to sex, BUT because this one was about Amber wanting a sex buddy and not a boyfriend, there is a LOT more (very explicit) sex than in other Lau books I've read. Take that as you will.

Great communication, low-angst, heroine has hobbies and interests and friends outside the relationship - all A+.

Very cute. Sweet characters.
