Trope: Friends-to-Lovers, Tomboy Heroine

“The two of them together were marvelous. I loved the playful moments they shared just as much as the sizzling chemistry that sparks every time they are together. Perfection!” - Crystal Blogs Books
Hotshot sports editor Cole Sharpe has been freelancing for Oxford for years, so when he hears about a staff position opening up, he figures he’s got the inside track. Then his boss drops a bombshell: Cole has competition. Female competition, in the form of a fresh-faced tomboy who can hang with the dudes—and write circles around them, too. Cole usually likes his women flirty and curvy, but he takes a special interest in his skinny, sassy rival, if only to keep an eye on her. And soon, he can’t take his eyes off her.
Penelope Pope knows all too well that she comes off as just one of the guys. Since she’s learned that wanting more usually leads to disappointment, Penelope’s resigned to sitting on the sidelines when it comes to love. So why does Cole make her want to get back in the game? The man is as arrogant as he is handsome. He probably sees her as nothing more than a barrier to his dream job. But when an unexpected kiss turns into a night of irresistible passion, Penelope has to figure out whether they’re just fooling around—or starting something real.
about the story
if you're wondering...
Is this book for me?
I TRY TO BE AS UPFRONT AS POSSIBLE ABOUT EACH OF MY BOOKS. EVERYONE HAS UNIQUE PREFERENCES!
This is one of my lighter reads, but still packs plenty of stomach-flip moments!
This book is written in third-person, with alternating POV. Some people only like first-person. You've been warned!
This series is great for fans of "found family" where friendships build over the series in FRIENDS-esque style.
The set-up for this one seems enemies-to-lovers, but this quickly takes on a friends-to-lovers vibe.
🔥 This book is steamy with explicit sex scenes.
If you love charming heroes who are quick with a grin and one-liner, Cole's your guy!

Excerpt
“Cole—”
He bent his knees slightly as he used his thumb to hook under her chin, tilting her face up to his. He paused for the briefest of moments—giving her the opportunity to pull away . . . to protest if she didn’t want this.
She didn’t protest.
He kissed her.
He kissed Penelope Pope in the snow like his life depended on it.
