Sometimes, a chance meeting is just the push you need in order to break free from the darkness within…
My name is Emma, I’m 23, and I’ve never been kissed. I’m no virgin…But kissing is too intimate, too intense, and I don’t want that – not ever. I like sex, though, and most of my hook-ups don’t seem to mind the no-kissing part.
But then I meet Daniel, who’s such a geek, and definitely not the kind of guy I’d normally take an interest to. He’s the shy, quiet type, but with such a charming smile, and he makes my heart race – something I’ve never experienced before.
Daniel has his own issues to work through, and I know my hardened heart shouldn’t melt when he looks at me. I really shouldn’t be falling for him, either, but somehow, he manages to tear down my walls, and I’m scared…because once he learns my secrets, he’ll want nothing to do with me.
All I know is that Daniel makes me feel things that I have never felt before – but do I dare let down my walls and confide in him?
Will I let him be my first kiss?
This is my story, and I’ll reveal everything in my own sweet time…
Just don’t expect all the hearts-and-flowers stuff.
Life is messy, and mine is no different…

About Karen Ferry
Karen Ferry is a thirty-something writer, wife to a quiet, laidback man, and mother to a gorgeous, stubborn, redheaded girl who keeps her parents on their toes.
Karen tends to have a short fuse if she does not get a proper caffeine fix first thing in the mornings, but she is, in fact, a gentle person deep down.
Karen loves Italian food and wine, travelling, and spending time with her family. When she is not writing, she reads – her favourite genres are New Adult, Contemporary Romance, Erotica and Romantic Suspense. She can never get enough of romance. Or of too many book boyfriends, either.
Even though Karen is Danish, she has always felt more at ease writing stories in English, and she has not read a book in her native tongue in over ten years.
She can be very outspoken and a complete fan girl of other authors online but will, in fact, be very shy once she meets you in person.

I love a nerdy guy. I would take him any day over the week over some CEO or billionaire. The nerdy guy always wins my heart. Daniel was a nerd who I fell in love with. He was smart and had a bunch of social issues because of it....love the premise!!
Well, let's backtrack a little. The story starts out with Emma who is 23 living away from home and in a foreign country. She works at a bookstore and has some issues. She is kinda out of control. She likes sex, but does not kiss because that is too intimate. Emma was a hard character to like, because she was kinda a witch. She was distant to everyone, including her family.
Daniel on the other hand, I really loved him. He is nerdy with a stutter. Socially awkward and a virgin to boot. He is cute and quirky with a heart of gold.
Fate brings them together, and they seem good for each other. They both have things in their past that lead them to their present. There was a lot of drama and angst. Sometimes I felt too much drama and angst. At the end, when we found out Emma's big "secret", I felt it wasn't even that big of a secret. I thought it was going to be much grander than it was. To me, it didn't warrant her to act they way she did to her family.
As you can tell, I loved Daniel. I didn't really care for Emma as much as I would have liked to. At times, I thought Daniel was better off with someone else.
