Synopsis: 

Crush (n.): a strong and often short-lived infatuation, particularly for someone beyond your reach . . .

Darcy Barrett has undertaken a global survey of men. She's travelled the world, and can categorically say that no one measures up to Tom Valeska, whose only flaw is that he's her twin brother's best friend - oh, and that 99 percent of the time, he hasn't seemed interested in her. That's the problem with finding her dream man at age eight and peaking in her photography career at age twenty - ever since, she's had to learn to settle for good enough.

When Darcy and Jamie inherit a tumble-down cottage from their grandmother, they're left with strict instructions to bring it back to its former glory and sell the property. Darcy plans to be in an aisle seat halfway across the ocean as soon as the renovations start, but before she can cut and run, she finds a familiar face on her porch: house-flipper extraordinaire Tom's arrived, he's bearing power tools, and he's single for the first time in almost a decade.

Suddenly Darcy's considering sticking around - just to make sure her twin doesn't ruin the cottage's inherent magic with his penchant for chrome. She's definitely not staying because of her new business partner's tight t-shirts, or that perfect face that's inspiring her to pick up her camera again. But sparks start to fly - and not just because of the faulty wiring. Soon, a one percent chance with Tom is no longer enough. This time around, Darcy's switching things up. She's going to make Tom Valeska 99 percent hers.

Review: Jo 

Sally Thorne has done it again. This fabulous author has delivered another romance novel that made me swoon and left me with a beaming smile on my face and a warm giddy feeling in my heart. Oh how I loved Darcy and Tom."99% Mine" made me so joyfully happy.

"I want to kiss Tom Valeska until everything falls apart." 

When I first started this book, I immediately loved the heroine of the story. Darcy was a character that was full of sass and wit. I adored her personality, how confident she appeared to be and how she seemed to be a girl that went for anything she wanted in life. I definitely had a bit of a girl crush on her. During the first part of the book, she was my favourite thing about the story and she was the reason I kept on turning those pages as I really wasn’t sure about Tom. Tom wasn’t the kind of book boyfriend I normally find attractive. I usually love my man to be all out alpha, knowing what he wants and grabbing it with both hands. A man that is confident and sure of himself and I didn’t feel that Tom was that kinda guy. He didn’t give me the feels or make my heart sigh and I have to say that I was a little disappointed. Nevertheless I continued to read on and after a lot of angst and a long slow burn, I was finally seeing some potential in Tom. By the time I reached the final part of the story, I had completely changed my opinion about him and I was feeling all the love for this gorgeous man. I couldn’t believe how the author was able to make my feelings towards Tom change so much.

"He's sweeter than sugar, more delicious than anything I've ever experienced.

 My every birthday-candle wish."

Another thing that I loved about this story was the style of writing. It was an easily quotable read, making me highlight and highlight over and over again. The combination of a brilliant story, characters that I loved and amazing writing all made this a thoroughly enjoyable read. There was even a surprise epilogue that made my day. I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful romance to anyone that loves a slow burn and a lot of angst. This was another winner from Sally Thorne. 

"Just relax. Let me spoil Darcy Barrett a little. For the rest of her life.

 Let me get a taste of that feeling." 

"99% Mine" gets 4.5 ❤️’s from me.
