Activity: home-cooked meal and cuddling
Perfect for: homebodies, introverts, budget-conscious folks and anyone who hates fighting those infamous V-Day crowds
This book is part of Simpson’s New City Series, a contemporary British romance series with lots of heat and angst. In this first book of the series, sweet Effie and grumpy, sleep-deprived Stuart are neighbors who can’t stand each other — at first. But after crossing paths and indulging in a bit too much alcohol one night, they fall asleep together and realize just how divine it is to share a bed with someone you’re insanely attracted to.
Poor Effie is dealing with the worst of her period and doesn’t feel like doing much on a night that Stuart would like to see her. He cooks a yummy meal, then cuddles her the rest of the evening.
When I read this, my PMS-ing self swooned hard. Cramps, bloating and all that other un-fun stuff can put a damper on date night, especially Valentine’s Day. But if my guy offered up such a thoughtful date idea, I would pounce on him. Comfort food and cuddles when I’m not feeling my best? Yes, please!
