Blurb

My new neighbor is irresistible, and he’s keeping me up ALL night long…

Emerson Hayes is sexy, arrogant, and has abs that would put a Hemsworth to shame. He’s also opening a bar with his buddies right below my apartment. Goodbye, peace and quiet, hello sleepless nights fantasizing about my hot new landlord…

But when my stuffy workplace makes it clear I need a plus-one for our events, I have the perfect way to even the score. Emerson is A+ arm-candy… as long as I can resist taking a bite. Our arrangement is supposed to be just for show, but Emerson is like that fifth shot of tequila: tempting, intoxicating, and liable to leave me flat on my back with my panties around my ankles, begging for more.

Maybe I should stay for just one more round…

Sparks fly in the hot new standalone series from Katie McCoy, coming in April!

Review

4 stars!

Alex is a junior associate at a top Chicago law firm and is working her way to become a permanent associate. She has absolutely no time for distractions, especially the ones that come in the form of hot guys. And there is an exceptionally hot guy opening a bar with his hot friends directly below her apartment. What happens when the one guy she keeps bumping into becomes someone she can’t stay away from?

Rascal was a much needed escape from the angsty books I’ve recently read. Hilarious, sweet, and lighthearted, it’s a great mix of humor and heart and I couldn’t keep the goofy grin of my face as I turned the pages. The writing was storyline was entertaining and the characters were endearing. I adored Alex and loved her drive to prove herself. She worked hard to accomplish her dreams and was committed to her work but I loved that she finally took time for herself and went after Emerson.

Emerson was such a sweet guy with a good head on his shoulders. He went after what he wanted and I loved his ambition. I hated that he didn’t have the support of some of the most important people I his life and I wanted to scream at them. He deserved so much more than what was being pushed at him.

I really enjoyed getting to know Alex and Emerson and seeing them interact. Their initial meeting was hilarious and I could totally imagine it and all its awkwardness. As they kept bumping into each other they realized they have a connection and I could feel it. I loved guessing when they would see each other again and I enjoyed the progression of their relationship. I liked that the fake date jump started more and loved how realistically their feelings developed.

Alex and Emerson are so good together. Fun, flirty banter kept the mood light and intense chemistry lit the pages on fire. There’s a little bit of heartache thrown into the mix at well placed parts that kept me flipping pages but I was so glad it wasn’t the “rip out my heart” kind of pain.

I also loved getting little glimpses into the lives of the other four guys and cannot wait to read their books. Overall, Rascal was a great start to the new Rascals series. From the humor to the romance and everything in between, this rom com is sure to put a smile on your face!
