Trope: Grumpy Sunshine, Opposites
"The kind of contemporary romance that reminds you why you fell in love with the genre in the first place. Layne clearly has one agenda with this book: to give her readers all the feels."
'Hard pass on that guy, right?ā
Mackenzie āMacā Austin just wants what any modern, commitment-phobic woman in New York wants: a no-strings-attached hook-up, steamy enough to brag about over mimosas the next morning.
What she doesnāt want is her dating appās latest suggestion: preppy, corporate Thomas Decker. So, obviously, she rejects the guy without a second thought. Thereās just one snag: heās sitting next to her, so he witnessed her do it. And now heās calling her out.
After the initial embarrassment, Mac is determined not to let it bother her, but Fate has other plans ā and Thomas isnāt going anywhere. First, he pops up as her new boss. And then he reappears as her best friendās soon-to-be brother-in-law.
As the not-so meet cutes add up, Mac is sure that uptight Thomas is the last man that a free-spirit like her should want. Only the more time she spends with him, the more Mac realizes that the man she canāt get away from has become the same one that she wants to keep closeā¦
about the story
if you're wondering...
Is this book for me?
This is an opposites-attract story with a sprinkle of grumpy-sunshine and enemies-to-lovers.
This book is written in first person, heroine-only POV.
This book is set in Manhattan. It has plenty of NYC vibes, though the characters' lifestyle is less glitzy than many of my others.
The heroine is very free-spirited and outspoken. The heroines and hero is rather buttoned-up...except in the bedroom. š
š„ This book is quite steamy, with plenty of explicit scenes and talk.
Like most of my book, this is a light-hearted quick read. Lots of banter, lots of emotion.
I TRY TO BE AS UPFRONT AS POSSIBLE ABOUT EACH OF MY BOOKS. EVERYONE HAS UNIQUE PREFERENCES!
Excerpt
Thomas takes his time thinking. He takes his time with everything, as far as I can tell. āI think thatās the point of dating, isnāt it? To find someone you can get involved with, but wonātāhow did you phrase it? Leave your heart in pieces?ā
āDisagree,ā I say confidently, shaking my head. āOr at least, thatās not the reason I date.ā
āWhatās your reason?ā
I waggle my eyebrows suggestively, playfully, though the searing look he gives me in return is anything but playful, and I look quickly away, pretending fascination with the view of the city.
