    About this audiobook

    A stand-alone romantic comedy

    I was trying to live every woman's dream, except my reality has been nothing but a nightmare job and a divorce at the age of 32. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, my ex-husband, Rick, moved in next door with his life-size Barbie doll. So, that's been fun.

    Then, life pitched me a curveball in the form of a retired Major League Baseball player, Logan Grier. With his panty-dropping smile, he’s like an expertly photoshopped version of David Beckham, and he's single. Could life be perfect after all? Of course not. As always, there had to be a catch.

    Logan had a secret, and I couldn’t help feeling like the truth was dangling right in front of my face. With Rick’s daily agenda of torturing me, Logan has been an enticing distraction, despite the little fact he’s my temporary employee. Plus, I didn’t exactly care that his flirty behavior may have been a plan to get in good with the boss. In any case, I was willing to toss a few balls with him, seeing as my playing field hadn’t had any action in over a year.

    That’s when it happened...my two worlds collided. Hot temp met the ex, and a full-on bromance was born, but that’s only the beginning.

    The “man flu” has come out of nowhere and hit both Logan and Rick with a virus they’re claiming to be worse than childbirth. In fact, they’re pretty sure their end is near.

    Will the “man flu” be the kiss of death, or will it be my window for an opportunistic change?

    A humorous office romance filled with unfiltered satire, a little baseball, and comedy-packed moments at which women will laugh out loud.

      It was a cute stand alone i like and it gave a mention to the first book but overall you don't need to read any other book for this one to work.

      3 Stars for me!

      My rating range of this story... 2.5 - 3.5 Dtars
      If significant, why?

      h = 5/10

      Narrator Rating(s)
      M = n/a
      F = 7/10
      If below 5/10,why?

      Was cheating involved? No
      Any major triggers to be aware of? Stillborn child

      Scenes with heat... Yes
      What point does it start? 50%
      How much of the story? 5%
      Anything beyond M/F? Sort of but not discussed
      If yes, explained - secondary character

      Heat Rating... 7/10
      Clean or Fade to Black - 1 or 2
      Normal to Descriptive 3-5
      Detailed Descriptive Sex - 6-7
      Um, Wow, Beyond Descriptive Sex - 8 or above

      Was there so much sex or unrealistic sex that you rolled your eyes and/or skipped forward? Yes & No

      The back story... The h is recently divorced with a 5 year old daughter after a 10 year married - hubby cheated. A new temp hire at the company she works for catches her eye.

      The Romance... Very difficult to see as the time during the story is very short as most takes place within a few weeks. The lust is there but both characters have flaws that rule their minds.

      The drama explosion... The H tells the h about how he really met her and she flipped out.

      Did it feel Real, OK or contrived? Contrived
      Was it OTT? Yes
      Separation involved? Yes
      Was it resolved properly or rushed? Ok

      Final Notes... This is actually a good story and it easily could have been a 4 or 5 Star listen for me. What took it down 2 Stars for me?

      1. The h was snarky about everything to the point of annoying.

      2. The H and her female friend/employee deal with a male employee who makes sexist comments, then immediately after he leaves, they start making comments about the new hire.

      3. The reason for the h shoving the H away was completely OTT and didn't make much sense as she did get to know him pretty well.

      4. She allowed her ex to walk all over her for a good part of the story.
