Hunter’s one of those guys who panic-overthinks everything. In fact, he won’t have a one-night stand with a woman who lives in his building and on the same floor for fear he’ll bump into her again, yet he has no problem sabotaging Brit’s chances at romance because he’s so jealous. For much of it, he’s one of those dudes who doesn’t want commitment, would rather die than fall in love or even sleep next to the woman he just boinked. Yep, my biggest problem with the book is Hunter. It doesn’t help that our hero is one big doucherino. This is an admittedly hard series to step into mid-story many of the characters are well-established by now, and many of them pop up in the book, leaving newbies going ‘wait, who’s that?!’. When a family emergency descends, Hunter must pick between letting Brit all the way in or sneaking back to his hometown. But the deeper they get into their seduction game, the closer they get to sexual combustion and breaking Hunter’s rules.

Brit just wants someone to see her as a full-blooded woman instead of a kid sister figure, and Hunter’s planning on leaving Oxford behind to move back to the Midwest. Will he help her learn the art of seduction so she can improve her chances of finding mister right and settling down? The trouble is all of Brit’s dates leave her feeling flat, and one terrible experience too many forces her to turn to Hunter and asks him a favor. Hunter and Brit have been best friends for forever, but Hunter’s determined not to ruin the good thing they have going between them – they are strictly platonic all the way. I Think I Love You, the fifth volume of Lauren Layne’s spicy series featuring young singletons trying to find romance in New York while working at Oxford Magazine, features advertising worker Hunter Cross, whose best friend Brit Robbins wants to get married and have kids – which is easier said than done in the big city.
