Like this one &#8212; don&#8217;t bang your boss&#8217;s little sister.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too bad I didn&#8217;t know sexy, clever, irresistible London is related to the guy who signs my paychecks. Would have been helpful to have that intel before I took her out on that first date, before I kissed her on the beach, before I made plans to take her home that night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But now I know and I&#8217;m going to be so damn disciplined. I&#8217;m a good guy, after all. And good guys don&#8217;t break the golden rules of the bro code. I&#8217;m going to follow the f&amp;*k out of all the rules. I won&#8217;t break a single damn one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even when London asks me to help her with a work project. One that has us working late every night, all alone, in my tiny apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One that tests every ounce of willpower I have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One that is driving me out of my ever loving mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I resist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until the night she issues a challenge I can&#8217;t refuse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Find\u00a0<em>How to Get Lucky<\/em> on <a href=\"http:\/\/blkly.pub\/GoodreadsLucky\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GOODREADS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>5 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first time London and Teddy meet, there is a spark. They have an amazing first date and then they discover an important detail about London. Her brother is Teddy\u2019s boss. Having previously experienced what can go wrong when you mix your job with your personal business, Teddy won\u2019t make that mistake again. It\u2019s a huge disappointment because they have a genuine connection.<\/p>\n<p>Despite trying to extinguish the spark between them, the more time they spend together the closer they grow as does the sexual tension. When London tells him about her friend\u2019s beliefs that \u201cgood guys\u201d are bad in bed, he is determined to prove them wrong. And boy does he!<\/p>\n<p>Teddy and London are magical together. Not only do they have a wonderful professional relationship, they have an even better personal one. They get along so well and the banter is fantastic. They have things in common but also bring their differences to the mix. They have fun and can be exactly who they are when they are together.\u00a0 It\u2019s refreshing that they bring no selfishness to their relationship, and I loved that they are each other\u2019s number one fans, wanting nothing more than for the other to succeed.<\/p>\n<p><i>How to Get Lucky<\/i> is such fun story that brings on the humor and heat. There\u2019s a whole lot of heart, too, making it an awesome, swoony rom com fave.\u00a0I love that there is no stupid drama, and though there may be challenges that can ruin everything, these characters face them head on. The problems are not drawn out and I love how everything works out in the end. Such a fun read! I loved it!<\/p>\n<p><em>*ARC generously provided by the author and Candi Kane PR*<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>About the Authors<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"41639\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=41639\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lauren-Blakely-2019.jpg?fit=200%2C248&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"200,248\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Pixel 2 XL&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1552754985&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.459&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;56&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0020950002014423&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Lauren Blakely 2019\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lauren-Blakely-2019.jpg?fit=150%2C186&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41639 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lauren-Blakely-2019.jpg?resize=200%2C248&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lauren-Blakely-2019.jpg?w=200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lauren-Blakely-2019.jpg?resize=100%2C124&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Lauren-Blakely-2019.jpg?resize=150%2C186&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lauren Blakely<\/strong>, a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0#1 New York Times Bestselling, #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling, and #1 Audible Bestselling author, is known for her contemporary romance style that&#8217;s sweet, sexy and witty.
