The Perfect Kiss (Kissed by the Bay Book 2) - Susan Hatler

***copy provided by publisher through NetGalley***

Not so much "a battle of the sexes", but more a first-person POV study into an insecure woman's insecurities and inner musings. Luckily for me, this was a short story, because I couldn't stomach Olivia in a larger dose. She was all over the place, but instead of coming off as quirky and endearing, she ended up on the annoying side of the spectrum. I actually pitied the hero for falling for the woman, while also wondering just what he's fallen for the woman.

I liked the premise, the rest of the (supporting) cast was great, the pacing wasn't bad either, but unfortunately the heroine was.
