For other reads that combine humor and lots of steamy chemistry, try Penelope Ward. No rehab needed.Įverything Vi Keeland does is magic, so I suggest reading her entire backlist. I enjoyed every minute of this book, and it’s earned a place of honor on my keeper shelf.ĭoes this book contribute to or help crush the romance stigma?ĬRUSHES it! This one is clean and sober. So, was my opinion of Drew biased by the insanely hot dude on the cover? Maybe. I also kind of hope Drew’s buddy Roman gets his own story. No joke.) Sure, he was arrogant, a little possessive and jealous, and had quite the potty mouth (which I didn’t mind at all), but at heart, he was a genuinely great guy and a perfect match for Emerie, the wide-eyed romantic. But the real star of the story was Drew.ĭrew’s backstory was heartbreaking, and his devotion to Beck made him one of the best romance heroes I’ve ever read. That could’ve gone all sorts of wrong.Įmerie was a great heroine: smart (definitely naive when it came to real estate, but not dumb), loving, and an open and honest communicator (which is often tough to find in romance land). Fortunately, as it turned out, the book was by an author I love, so I wasn’t let down at all. I didn’t even see the author’s name or title until I’d already bought the book. I one-clicked the hell out of this book based on nothing but the cover model. The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing.Īnd an attraction that was getting harder to deny by the day. And my job was to help people save their marriages. Drew was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell, destroyer of relationships. Especially when that was all we seemed to be able to do. I never expected my body to react every time we argued.
But I couldn't help giving him a piece of my mind. I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients. In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he'd let me stay until I found a new place. The next day, after hours at the police station, Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn't really available for rent. He'd been on vacation while his posh space was renovated. Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office.
