Kristine's Review:
Reviewed: August 2015.After seeing Dearest Clementine teasers flood my news feed, I went to #1click, low and behold, there it was already sitting on my kindle waiting for me...don't judge me...it happens more often than I like to admit, so I dove in and now I'm sitting here trying to figure out why it took me so long.
Clementine has had some crap luck with me, first her high school boyfriend Daren cheated on her, with her best friend....and to make matters worse she caught them in the act, then as if that wasn't bad enough, she went off to college for a fresh start and ended up being stalked by her over eager Professor who couldn't seem to take no for an answer. As a result not only is Clem man shy but she's become a shadow of her former fun loving, outgoing self.
When she meets Gavin, the sexy RA she finds herself interested in a man for the first time in a long time, but she's not ready to dive back into the murky dating and relationship waters quite yet, and if Gavin wants a chance he's going to have to give Clem a reason to step out of her comfort zone.
Gavin is EVERYTHING I want in a my leading man, he's super sweet, charming, sexy, funny and still has those alpha tendencies that make me a swoony mess. There was something about this story that drew me instantly, partly due to Clem's fractured spirit, but her tenacity to continue despite her insecurities, partly due to Gavin's ability to see past the façade that Clem puts on for everybody and see both the broken and the beautiful that she keeps hidden, his ability to both put her at ease and set her alight.
Dearest Clementine is part NA romance, part suspense, it's funny and sweet and sexy, it set my heart racing and made me a swoony swoony mess, everything about this book made me happy, leaving a smile on my face, this was my first novel by Lex Martin but it certainly won't be my last, I've already purchased the second and third books on the series ready to dive in.
