Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It should be an easy rule to follow – don’t bang your boss\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

But I didn’t know who he was when I met him.
\n<\/span>And the first time I saw him, our connection sounded like the stuff of romantic legends — that whole “their eyes locked across a crowded room” moment that turned into more.
\n<\/span>I didn’t believe it. . . . until it happened to me.
\n<\/span>Fine, the charming, clever, sexy-as-sin guy in the tailored suit was only trying to buy the same Snoopy lunchbox (as a gift!), but still, our eyes totally locked, and my lady parts definitely tingled as we vied for the prize.
\n<\/span>Naturally, I did what any badass business woman would do. Negotiated for the lunchbox, then found my what-if guy online and made plans to see him the next night.
\n<\/span>One night only — that was the deal we made.
\n<\/span>But one fantastic night had us both changing our minds in the morning. And making plans for another.
\n<\/span>Until I walked into the office to learn he just bought my company.
\n<\/span>And here’s the biggest rule of romantic legends — no matter what, don’t bang your boss.
\n<\/span>Especially if you’re already falling for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

THE WHAT IF GUY is a sexy standalone you can escape into!<\/b><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 STARS!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I adored The What if Guy<\/i>!!! It\u2019s entertaining, swoony, sweet, and delicious. The perfect blend of humor and heat with a whole lot of love, I couldn\u2019t put it down!<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if your what-if guy is looking for his what-if girl?\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The meet cute is great and I was hooked from the start. Logan and Bryn are just so fun, and I couldn\u2019t keep the smile off my face when they are together. Logan is a swoony single dad with a sweet daughter who melted my heart. Bryn puts everything into her job and is a hard worker. She has a fantastic personality and stays true to herself.<\/p>\n

When Bryn and Logan meet, they connect but when a phone call makes them part ways before names are shared, they are bummed they may never see each other again. It\u2019s a missed connection so Bryn tries out the Made Connections App and they reconnect leading to an unforgettable and steamy night. Unfortunately, Logan turns out to be her new boss, so they step back and realize they can only be friends. However, keeping their hands to themselves proves to be harder than they thought when their connection grows stronger with every interaction.<\/p>\n

This book is wonderful. It\u2019s full of laughs and so much heart. Bryn and Logan mesh so well in and out of the bedroom. I loved how they get to know each other and form a true friendship. They are just what the other needed and there was no drama between them. They were functional and fun and an adorable couple.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow is it possible that I met you two weeks ago and I already need you in my life this badly?\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even though there are some realistic challenges, there\u2019s very little angst and I loved that it was such a feel-good read. I needed something super lighthearted and it didn\u2019t disappoint. I loved the premise and the plot and enjoyed how everything comes together. I was just so happy while reading this book.<\/p>\n

I also loved reconnecting with Summer and Oliver from Dear Sexy Ex-Boyfriend<\/a><\/em>, and I can\u2019t wait for more. Fitz\u2019s book, A Guy Walked into My Bar<\/i>, comes out next, and then we get more Ransom in his book, Thanks for Last Night<\/i>. So excited for more of this fun group!!<\/p>\n
