Audiobook will release by the end of October<\/strong><\/p>\n Multicast duet narration by Zachary Webber and Emily Woo Zeller <\/p>\n An actor, a model, and a younger man walk into a therapist\u2019s office\u2026 They\u2019re all Dylan Brodie. It\u2019s only funny if you aren\u2019t the single mom therapist he can\u2019t stop flirting with.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n Dear Mr. Brodie,<\/b><\/p>\n I hope this email finds you well. Sincerely, \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Dear Scarlett,<\/b><\/p>\n Cool. Yours in well-being and personal growth, <\/p>\n Add to Goodreads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.5 \u201cDo you believe in fate?<\/i>\u201d stars<\/b><\/p>\n Another fantastically fun and funny read from Kayley Loring! A witty, sweet and sexy forbidden-ish, single parent romance, this book made me laugh out loud, and I fell in mad love with the characters, and I loved it!<\/p>\n This is the second book in the Brodie Brothers<\/i> series, and is the story of baby Brodie brother, Dylan. Dylan is an actor who became famous by playing the younger brother of the lead actor in a Disney kid\u2019s show (providing a fabulous tie in to the Name in Lights<\/i> series \u2013 and setting up some great cameos in this one), and he has worked consistently as an actor\/model since then, though hasn\u2019t reached mega-stardom.<\/p>\n Dylan has a bad habit of falling for his co-stars \u2013 like\u2026 all of them, and he constantly gets his heart broken when filming is over and the relationships fizzle out. It\u2019s a running joke in his family, and his frequent falling in love but never being able hold on to it has him in therapy to try and deal with constantly having his heart broken.<\/p>\n Scarlett is a therapist whose life is just as messed up as her clients\u2019. She\u2019s a single mother to an adorable eight-year-old son, with a douchey ex-husband who cheated on her (and who happens to be an actor in a TV show). She\u2019s still figuring herself out, but she\u2019s smart, funny and relatable, and I loved her.<\/p>\n Dylan and Scarlett met three years previously. Their attraction was instant and they had a flirtatious encounter that didn\u2019t end up going anywhere because Scarlett was very newly divorced, and Dylan was way too young for her. But neither of them have been able to forget about the other, having many fantasies over the years from just their one encounter. And now, Dylan has contacted Scarlett, without knowing that she is his old crush, to ask her to take him on as a client.<\/p>\n I do have a client who just moved to Idaho, so I have one slot available. Do I want to fill that slot with Dylan Brodie? It\u2019s a great set-up, and from the moment that Dylan steps through Scarlett\u2019s door again, it begins. His shameless flirtation is so freaking entertaining, and the more Scarlett tries to keep things professional, the harder he pushes. It\u2019s fun and funny, the forbidden angle brings some laughs, and I loved the chemistry and bubbling sexual tension as the anticipation built. Scarlett is determined to do the right thing, but Brodie (and her feelings for him) prove to be irresistible, and when she steps aside as his therapist, it\u2019s all on.<\/p>\n The romance is fun, sexy and gorgeously honest. They know what they want, and they don\u2019t hide from it, they just dive on in, and it\u2019s fantastic to watch. I loved these two together so much<\/p>\n Dylan is so gorgeous. He\u2019s so sarcastically funny, confident yet self-deprecating, and I love his soft heart. He is a sweet, loving, caring guy who wants love but just can\u2019t hold on to it, and his openness, vulnerability and sense of humour over the whole thing is absolutely irresistible \u2013 as is his mad love for his newly-acquired kitten.<\/p>\n My girl\u2019s all curled up in a furry gray ball, fast asleep. I guess it would be mean to wake her up just because I want to cuddle with her. I guess that would make me a bad cat parent. With an anxious attachment style. Maybe kittens and therapists should stop being so fucking cute if they don\u2019t want me to adore them so much.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Once again, his brothers and parents are a big part of the story, and I\u2019m madly in love with the entire Brodie clan. Sarcastic and absolutely hilarious, their text conversations are one of my favourite parts of the book, and I laughed out loud so many times at their epic banter.<\/p>\n Note – This is more an excerpt than a quote. I tried so hard to narrow it down, but couldn\u2019t pick my favourite part, the whole conversation had me laughing so hard\u2026<\/p>\n So freaking funny!<\/p>\n Also bringing the laughs is Scarlett\u2019s son, Noah. What a fantastic little character he is, I just loved him!<\/p>\n There is a little bit of drama as Dylan and Scarlett come to terms with their issues from previous relationships and find their way past it, but it\u2019s well written, and works so well for them as characters and progresses their relationship beautifully. This is a beautifully functional romance that made me laugh so many times, and I just adored these two characters and their love story.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve felt this, the falling, before. So many times. But for the first time ever. I know I have a safe place to land. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Such a fantastic read, I\u2019m so excited for big brother, Myles\u2019 story up next!<\/p>\n 4.5 stars!<\/p>\n An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Funny Business (#1)<\/strong> (Owen & Frankie) Attachment Theory (#2)<\/strong> (Dylan & Scarlett) Good Vibrations (#3) <\/strong>(Miles & Aria) <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Instagram<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0FB Reader Group<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Website<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0Newsletter<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0Audio Newsletter<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0BookBub<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Attachment Theory by Kayley Loring is live, and free in Kindle Unlimited Fall in love with Dylan and Scarlett today!

\nBlurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n<\/span>Your well-being and personal growth are of the utmost importance to me, as a therapist.
\n<\/span>As such, I have decided it is in your best interest to continue individual therapy with another practitioner.
\n<\/span>This is due to the potential for boundaries being crossed between us.
\n<\/span>Attached is a list of colleagues I would recommend for you.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Scarlett Shepard, MS, MFT<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Consider our sessions terminated.
\n<\/span>Now I can tell you how beautiful you are and how attracted I am to you.
\n<\/span>Let\u2019s start crossing boundaries over dinner tonight.
\n<\/span>You\u2019ll say it would be unethical, and I\u2019ll point out that we\u2019ve only had a few sessions.
\n<\/span>You\u2019ll cite the age difference, and I\u2019ll tell you how hot it is that you\u2019re six years older than me.
\n<\/span>You\u2019ll say you\u2019re a mom, and I\u2019ll remind you that I think your son is awesome.
\n<\/span>We don\u2019t have to discuss my former attachments to former co-stars ever again.
\n<\/span>This is due to the fact that clearly my only personality issue is that I\u2019m irresistible.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Dylan Brodie, W.M.H.T.A.T.Y.E.H. (Way More Handsome and Talented Actor Than Your Ex-Husband)<\/span><\/p>\n
\nReview<\/b><\/h4>\n
\nI pour myself another glass of wine.
\nYes. Yes, I do want Dylan Brodie to fill my slot.
\nIs it a bad, terrible, very bad idea for me to even consider treating Dylan Brodie as a patient?
\nYes. It is bad. Terrible. Very bad.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/span>Spoiler<\/div>MILES: I\u2019m watching your cologne commercial, Pretty Boy.<\/em>
\nDYLAN: I think you mean my cologne-related cinematic art.<\/em>
\nMILES: Actually, I meant Joli Gar\u00e7on.<\/em>
\nDYLAN: It\u2019s just called Gar\u00e7on.<\/em>
\nOWEN: Yeah, I saw that on the interweb the other day. HAWT.<\/em>
\nDYLAN: Leave me alone.<\/em>
\nMILES: I\u2019m now wondering why I\u2019ve always worn shirts under my long leather trench coats when I\u2019m at the beach.<\/em>
\nOWEN: Yeah it really made me wonder why I\u2019ve never walked into the ocean in a leather trench coat and jeans. I had no idea what the commercial was for, but you totally sold me on that.<\/em>
\nMILES: Gar\u00e7on! Could you bring me another glass of sea water?<\/em>
\nDYLAN: I\u2019m really sorry you guys are too old and paunchy to do shirtless cologne ads anymore, but I got paid a fuck ton for that gig. I have zero regrets about it.<\/em>
\nOWEN: Well someone\u2019s in a mood today.<\/em>
\nMILES: Aww. Does somebody still have sand in his crack?<\/em>
\nMILES: Are you still suffering from Post Dramatic Stress Disorder, buddy? Still trying to win back your most recent co-star?<\/em>
\nDYLAN: She is so much more than my most recent co-star and you know that.<\/em>
\nMILES: Sorry. Your most recent showmance.<\/em>
\nOWEN: You back in town, Dylan? Should we take you out? Margaritas and dancing? Spa day, maybe? How can we help?<\/em>
\nOWEN: JK I\u2019m not going out because I have a son and a hot new girlfriend who lives with me. But I\u2019m always here for you. On my phone. Or if you want to come to my house for a little while. But only if you promise not to moan about your exes the whole time.<\/em>
\nDYLAN: <expressionless face emoji><\/em>
\nMILES: I will totally take you out, little bro. Let\u2019s do our hair toss and check our nails. Baby how ya feelin\u2019?<\/em>
\nMILES: Feelin\u2019 good as hell! All right! We could do drinks from eight to eight thirty. I have an opening three and a half months from now. By then you\u2019ll probably have just broken up with the next girl, so\u2026<\/em>

Before writing steamy romantic comedy novels, Kayley Loring got a BFA in creative writing from a Canadian university and had a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name). She mostly wrote PG-13 family comedies that studios would pay her lots of money for and then never make into movies. In 2017 she decided to move to the Pacific Northwest and write about all the fun stuff that she wasn\u2019t allowed to write about in those PG-13 scripts. Now she\u2019s breathing cleaner air and writing dirtier words. It\u2019s an adjustment she\u2019s happily getting used to.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Wildfire-e1586692132278.png?resize=437%2C166\")
