Blurb: Sometimes, one stubborn Capricorn is all it takes… to drive Wesley Hidaka to crazy, flirtatious lengths.

Wesley loves annoying his RA, Lloyd Reynolds. He just can’t help it. Lloyd is focused, decisive, grounded. He has this amusing ability to follow rules.

Of course Wesley wants Lloyd to break one… or three hundred.

Sometimes, one smirking Gemini is all it takes… to have Lloyd laying down the law and marching Wesley straight back to his dorm room.

It doesn’t stop Wesley teasing again. And again. And again…

But damn. Lloyd doesn’t crack easily. He’s full of principles. He’s unshakable.

He’s the perfect friend to have when Wesley needs help. Like with his truant brother and his old high school principal.

Sometimes, one little lie is all it takes… to find Wesley fake-engaged to his off-limits RA.

What can he say? It seemed like a good idea at the time…

Review: I’m telling you, man…Give me some of Anyta Sunday’s hilarious banter and her signature slow burn wrapped in an adorable premise, and I’m a happy girl. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read of hers, but the Signs of Love series has been particularly charming so far. I didn’t immediately love Gemini Keeps Capricorn quiiiite as much as I loved the first two—it took me some time to get into it, for some reason—but I absolutely adored it by the end.

The UST is, as usual, off the charts. These two are crazy sexy before they even get close to having any sex! Wesley is the most awesomely outrageous flirt I’ve read in a while, and Lloyd is basically helpless when it comes to turning him away or denying him any favor he might need. Including posing as Wesley’s fake fiancé for the benefit of both Wesley’s mother and his younger brother’s high school principal. So, yeah…UST for dayyyys. Couple it with the aforementioned banter, and you can see how much fun this book is:

“Stop ramming my superficialness with your Capricorny horns.” Lloyd locked his gaze. “We haven’t got to the ramming part yet.”

Ha! These guys. Wesley is obsessed with messing with Lloyd and is, of course, head over heels for him, but is convinced that a Capricorn/Gemini pairing would be a disaster. He’s also obsessed with finding out when Lloyd’s exact birthday is. He doesn’t find out until nearly the end of the story, but it makes for a funny bit that carries throughout the book. And Lloyd, for his part, is also clearly smitten. He lets Wesley come and go from his dorm room at all hours, and never hesitates when Wesley needs help with something, whether it be advice about his classes or his pursuit of a law degree or help with his brother, Caleb. I also completely adored Caleb, and the rest of the supporting cast was great.

Aside from the humor and the romance, which Sunday always captures so well, another thing I love so much about these books is how sweet and heartfelt they are. I mentioned it in my review for Scorpio Hates Virgo as well, but it’s worth repeating how much I also appreciate the sentimentality and the real, palpable affection that leaps off the page with these characters. Lloyd truly would do anything for Wesley, and vice versa, because they are friends, and they care deeply for each other. That’s one of the great things about the friends-to-lovers trope, and a reason I love it so much: there is a solid foundation there already. AND they want to get in each other’s pants!

I was so glad to read in a recent blog post from the author that she is planning several more Signs of Love books for this year, because I can’t get enough of them. Her writing style truly is so wonderful and witty, and puts me in my happy place. And, she and Natasha Snow have achieved cover magic with this series! Leo Loves Aries is still my fave of the covers, so far, but the cover model they found for Wesley for this book is perfection. Do not wait to check this one out, guys!! So good!
