99 PERCENT MINE is a light, frothy, and fun romance. Darcy Barrett fell in love when she was eight- years-old, when her twin brother Jamie brings home their new neighbor, Tom Valeska, to meet his parents and his sis. The boys were BFFs and Jamie made it clear that Tom was his friend and he saw him first. In other words, hands off, he is not for you. As twins, Jamie and Darcy are close but fight a lot and at present, they are barely speaking. Years pass. Tom is engaged to a gorgeous gal, Megan. Darcy travels the world photographing and bartending when she runs out of money. Her grandmother Loretta told her if you knew how to pour a drink into a glass, you could get a job as a bartender anywhere. That works for Darcy. She has met many, many men but no one has ever come up to her expectations. No one comes close to her perfect Tom Valeska.

Grandmother Loretta passes away and leaves her old tumble-down cottage to Darcy and Jamie. In her will, she requests that they renovate and bring the house back to its original beauty, sell it, and share the profits. Surprise! Surprise!! When the builder appears it is Tom, and Darcy swoons at the sight of how gorgeous and more perfect he is. And with his engagement broken, Tom is a single man and Darcy sets out to make him 100% hers.

As the project will take three months to complete and her passport has gone missing, Darcy decides to stay and help with the project. What fun she is for the working crew! The sparks fly between Tom and Darcy as the work together and it is not from the long overdue fixing of the faulty wiring. Their sexual encounter is HOT and Darcy decides she wants Tom for her together forever and must tell Jamie.

Several sub-plots including the "Underswear" company founded by her best friend Truly, is hysterical. The characters in this book are likable but Tom will steal your heart. Sally Thorne writes a winner with 99 PERCENT MINE. I loved it and look forward to her next book, coming soon, I hope. I am a fan.
