Dear Bridget,
I'm writing this letter because it's highly doubtful I'll ever garner the courage to say this to your face.
So, here goes.
We're totally wrong for each other. You're the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I'm just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England.
But here's the thing... for some bloody reason, I can't stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways.
I want you.
The only reason I'm even admitting all of this to you right now is because I don't believe it's one-sided. I notice your eyes when you look at me, too. And as crass as I appear when we're joking around about sex, my attraction to you is not a joke.
So, what's the purpose of this note? I guess it's a reminder that we're adults, that sex is healthy and natural, and that you can find me just through the door past the kitchen. More specifically, it's to let you know that I'm leaving said door cracked open from now on in case you'd like to visit me in the middle of the night sometime.
No questions asked.
Think about it.
Or don't.
Whatever you choose.
It's doubtful I'll even end up sliding this letter under your door anyway.
--Simon

Angie’s Review

4.5 “OMG. LOVE.” Stars.

The dream team is back, you guys, with another hit novel that’ll own you from the first to the last word. This story had me hooked. Completely. I’m honestly so impressed with Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. These authors are two of the most incredible writers around. If you’re looking for a quality read, a well-written novel with heart and heat, these two are guaranteed to deliver. Whether they’re writing books separately or together, it doesn’t matter, they’re masters of their craft, always telling a story that’ll win you over. To say I’m impressed is an understatement. To say I’m a fan would be putting it lightly. I’m completely consumed by their books, which feel like pure bookish magic to me.

Bridget Valentine is a widower, a single mom, and a nurse. Her top priority in life is her son, and it shows in everything that she does. Bridget is a dedicated mom and one of those characters you will immediately fall in love with. Sweet and funny, authentic and totally relatable, there wasn’t a single thing about this girl that I didn’t love.

Simon Hogue is in his last year of medical residency. Originally from the UK, he’s living in the US with plans to return home after finishing school. Simon is a charmer. From the second you meet him, you’re completely smitten with his smooth talking, dirty mouth. But even though Simon is one heck of a playboy, behind that exterior is a soft hearted man that’s downright dreamy.

Simon and Bridget’s meet cute is absolutely hilarious. HILARIOUS. I laughed out loud. And that funny continued throughout the book. The smile on my face, the tingling in my belly, the excitement that hit me whenever these two were in the same place was the absolute BEST. They had chemistry you could feel and it was intoxicating.

Dear Bridget, I Want You was delicious. A slow building romance that’ll have you holding your breath, swooning and wanting. Fate intervenes in Simon and Bridget’s life, forcing them together after their initial meeting, in the most fantastic way. Not only do they end up working at the very same hospital, but Simon becomes Bridget’s roommate! From there a friendship is formed as fun, flirty, witty banter ensues that’ll have you blushing and dying over just how cute these two are. Simon and Bridget are truly the best.

From the beginning to the end, I loved this book. I felt like everything flowed perfectly. And as usual, Vi and Penelope slayed it with twist that I did NOT see coming! (I seriously did not see that coming. At all. Ever. Not at anytime, hahahaha)! It was unreal. Overall, I can’t say enough good things. I’m still trying to recover from the swoon that overcame me as I read this standalone romance. It was cute, funny, sexy, heartfelt, everything that makes for a perfect book. I absolutely recommend it and I can’t wait for you to meet this adorable couple.
