Title:#1 Muse
Series:#1 Series #5 Author:T. Gephart
Release Date:October 4th, 2018
Synopsis:
Landing a writing gig in Hollywood was just as difficult as becoming an actor, and something Claire Becker had learned the hard way.
Sure, she didn’t have to conform to ridiculous beauty standards and give up her love for raw cookie dough, but the sting of rejection burned all the same. The only things that kept her sane were her two amazing roommates and her guilty pleasure—writing fan-fiction.
Getting lost in her own world, she’d forget that she had yet to land her dream job, and instead spent time with her dream man—Nick Larsson. Well, at least in the literary sense. Too bad he wasn’t aware or an active participant—her fictional love life, outstanding.
Tall, good-looking and sexy beyond comprehension, Nick Larsson not only had a famous last name—and four equally smoldering brothers—but was talented beyond belief. A star on the rise with a critically acclaimed series, his body and face were what fantasy scripts—and dreams—were made of. Made for some pretty steamy writing opportunities too.
And yes, it was probably “wrong” for Claire to objectify him, but it wasn’t like anyone knew about it. Just her, and her two amazing, supportive roommates.
Or at least they were amazing and supportive, and bound to be missed after Claire killed them.
In a moment of unexplained insanity, one of them —or both, each as bad as the other—sent her latest installments to the man himself.
Cue panic of epic proportions.
All Claire needed to do was sneak into his apartment and retrieve the misappropriated story before Nick, or anyone else, read it and mistook her for a creepy stalker. Although, breaking and entering probably wouldn’t convince anyone to the contrary either.
Claire was going to get the best material of her life, or end up with a restraining order. Either way, the story was getting a hell of lot more interesting.
T Gephart is a USA Today and International bestselling author from Melbourne, Australia.
With an approach to life that is somewhat unconventional, she prefers to fly by the seat of her pants rather than adhere to some rigid roadmap. Her lack of "plan" has resulted in a rather interesting and eclectic resume, which reads more like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history. She'd tell you all about it, but the statute of limitations hasn't expired yet. But all those crazy twists and turns have led her to a career she loves—writing romantic comedy.
When she isn't filling pages with sassy and sexy characters with attitude, she's living her own reality show in the 'burbs of Melbourne with her American husband, two teenage children, and her fur child—Woodley.
She loves adventure, to laugh, travel, and strives to live her life to the fullest.
I love T. Gephart's books and especially her rom-coms. She makes me laugh like no one else. And #1 Muse was not an exception. Though there are some more serious and a little bit heartbreaking moments, I would still classify the book as a rom-com. From the very first chapter, I had tears of laughter in my eyes and that practically didn't change until the end of the book. I loved the characters and especially Claire. She was a hoot and probably one of the craziest characters I've encountered. Definitely a close second after Tia. There is just no way beating Tia :D And it doesn't hurt that Nick is such a hottie :D
As I already said, I loved Nick and Claire. Though both of them are crazy, Nick is more on the normal side :D Claire is another story altogether. I honestly have no idea where she comes up with such crazy ideas :D And as Nick says in the book, he has no idea what will come out of her mouth. In a way, that's what makes them work :) They are definitely made for each other. Though there are few bumps on the road, in the end things just work out :)
In addition to Nick and Claire, I loved revisiting with old favorites. I mean, who would mind getting a cameo appearance from the Larson brothers :D But on top of that, I loved the other secondary characters as well. Luke and Scully are just as hilarious as Claire herself. And to be honest, I would really love to get my hands on Scully's story. Let's hope Tina is planning on writing it at some point :D
In a few words, this was a super funny and entertaining read and I hotly recommend it. So don't waste any time and pick up your copy now.
“No passion, no emotion, no originality—a train
wreck of epic portions.”
Those were the words to describe Eve Thorton’s exhibition. Not even a
fine arts degree from Yale or her daddy’s bank account could save her from the
scathing reviews. And failure was a word Eve would never be comfortable with.
Not even close.
Plotting the demise of every critic who’d written her off was her first
instinct. But that would come later. Instead, she would show them that she
wasn’t a bored socialite with more money than talent.
She would prove everyone wrong, and she wasn’t afraid to get her hands
dirty. But when her journey for redemption crashed headfirst into Josh Logan,
the sexy, talented tattooist from Queens, getting her hands dirty took
on a whole new meaning.
Josh was everything Eve wasn’t, translating on skin what she couldn’t
onto her canvas. All she had to do was convince him to share his jaw-dropping
brilliance, and help her—seeing him naked—a bonus. Then she could go back to
her regular life, vindicated.
It should have been easy. Pity her plans had a habit of derailing.
T Gephart is an indie author from Melbourne, Australia. T's approach to life has been somewhat unconventional. Rather than going to University, she jumped on a plane to Los Angeles, USA in search of adventure. While this first trip left her somewhat underwhelmed and largely depleted of funds it fueled her appetite for travel and life experience. With a rather eclectic resume, which reads more like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history, T struggled to find her niche in the world. While on a subsequent trip the United States in 1999, T met and married her husband. Their whirlwind courtship and interesting impromptu convenience store wedding set the tone for their life together, which is anything but ordinary. They have lived in Louisiana, Guam and Australia and have traveled extensively throughout the US. T has two beautiful young children and one four legged child, Woodley, the wonder dog. An avid reader, T became increasingly frustrated by the lack of strong female characters in the books she was reading. She wanted to read about a woman she could identify with, someone strong, independent and confident and who didn't lack femininity. Out of this need, she decided to pen her first book, A Twist of Fate. T set herself the challenge to write something that was interesting, compelling and yet easy enough to read that was still enjoyable. Pulling from her own past "colorful" experiences and the amazing personalities she has surrounded herself with, she had no shortage of inspiration. With a strong slant on erotic fiction, her core characters are empowered women who don't have to sacrifice their femininity. She enjoyed the process so much that when it was over she couldn't let it go. T loves to travel, laugh and surround herself with colorful characters. This inevitably spills into her writing and makes for an interesting journey - she is well and truly enjoying the ride!
Based on her life experiences, T has plenty of material for her books and has a wealth of ideas to keep you all enthralled.
OMFG!!! This is the best romantic comedy I've read since #1 Crush and it is of course written by the amazing and very talented T. Gephart. I don't think I have the right words to express how good this book is but I will try and I hope I will do it justice. Train Wreck is funny and a little bit heartbreaking, romantic and definitely hot. It is intriguing and entertaining and I can guarantee that it will bring a smile to your face and make you feel good :)
It's been some time since I've read a really good romantic comedy so I had quite high expectations for Train Wreck. After T. Gephart's master piece #1 Crush, who wouldn't :D And yes, my high expectations were fulfilled and even surpassed. From the very first page, I fell in love with Eve. She is sassy, smart, independent and ready to go after what she wants. She is the type of person that when life gives her lemons, she will make a lemonade, probably spice it up a little bit and have a party :D And I loved that about her. That's not to say that she doesn't feel deep, she is simply the type of person who will try to find what went wrong and fix it.
And that's how she meets Josh. And yumm, hello delicious tattooed alpha hotness with a heart of gold <3 On first glance, Josh is this very talented badass tattoo artist, whose incredibly hot body is covered in beautiful tattoos that will make you want to spend hour tracing the lines and colour and licking every single inch of him :D But through the pages, when you get to know him better, you can recognise his giving nature and heart of gold. And I can guarantee that you will loose your heart to that incredible man. I know I did :) With that being said, no funny business, no conversation, and keep your hands off!!! He is MINE :D
Of course Eve and Josh's story is not only hearts and flowers. Where would be the fun in that? So of course there is a little bit of heartbreak. but everything is resolved quite fast and has a very happy ending ( in any meaning you can think of :D). So don't let that discourage you. For me this is one of the best reads this summer and everyone should read it!!! So don't waste any time and #1click your copy. It is definitely worth it and it is a book you MUST HAVE!!!

Title:One-Night Stand-In
Author:T. Gephart
Synopsis:
Sarah Madison loved working at Tate & Cane Enterprises.
While she looked and, for the most part, acted conservatively—she was a gladiator in the boardroom. The fast-paced, energetic work environment not only fed her need for corporate blood but also allowed her to work for one of her role models, Olivia Cane - living proof a woman really can have it all.
And after months of paying her dues, she was finally offered the promotion she’d been vying for. Which was great, except for the fact she had to share the position with a new guy they brought in especially for the role.
Kyle Drake was smart, experienced, and probably just as good, if not better, in negotiations. And if she wasn’t careful, prove he could do the job without her. Add in good-looking and an incredibly sexy smooth talker, and everyone in the office either wanted to be him or sleep with him. Which Sarah could have totally ignored if he hadn’t been the stranger she’d married in Vegas during a fake ceremony six months earlier.
He was supposed to be her one-night stand, a stand-in for a ceremony that wasn’t even legally binding. They were never even going to see each other again. Hell, she apparently hadn’t even known his real last name at the time. It was the only time she’d ever done something completely reckless and spontaneous.
It figured that one time would come back and bite her where it hurt.
Title:The Run In
Author:Kelly Elliot
Synopsis:
Becoming the new Marketing Manager at Tate and Cane was a game changer. I was hell bent on proving I deserved this job, and that it wasn’t my cousin Sterling Quinn who had helped me score the new job title. Him being one of the CEO’s best friend - didn’t help the rumors.
Well screw that.
Ten years of sweat and hard work was the reason I was sitting in a large corner office with a killer Manhattan view. More focused than I’d ever been, it was time to take the bull by the horns.
And God help the person who stood in in my way.
********
Things I left behind in Seattle, Washington: A promising career at a top marking firm, the past I was desperate to escape, and obviously my sense of direction. It was because of all of those reasons I was standing in the middle of New York City lost and cursing at my phone.
If I didn’t get to Tate and Cane soon, I wouldn’t only be late, but also blow the chance to make the good impression on my new boss, Mason Quinn. And I needed that more than anything.
One wrong turn, an unfortunate collision, and an expensive suit drenched in my soy chia tea latte was not how I wanted to start my first day.
Then there was the other little problem I had. The drop dead gorgeous man whose suit I’d ruined was my new boss.
And boy did he look pissed.
Title:Tied
Author:Kim Karr
Synopsis:
I was rich, single, and connected, which meant a steady diet of beautiful women wherever I went.
I really did think I had the perfect life.
Until I went and married a supermodel I’d just met, and everything changed.
Of course there were choices. But the word annulment meant giving her up, and I never give up anything. Still, I was a bachelor at heart, and having a wife, well, I didn’t really know what to do with that.
After only forty-eight hours of marriage, I had already gone and screwed everything up.
Now I have thirty days to prove to my new wife that I’m husband material. There’s only one problem—I don’t even know what husband material means. However, I’m certain that won’t stop me from excelling at it.
My wife tells me it isn’t going to be easy. That I have numerous issues to overcome.
First, there’s my jealousy. It needs to be tamed. Did I flip over the fact that her latest picture was causing men around the world to do dirty things all over the covers she graced? Hell, yes. I couldn’t
help myself though. When her photo went viral, my caveman instincts kicked in, and I demanded she quit her job and stay home- barefoot and pregnant in my kitchen. I can work on that, right?
Then there’s my mother. I need to convince her that my new wife is not the money hungry floozy she called her. Did my mother actually call her that? Yes. I can’t help it that my mother wants me to get rid of my new wife. The problem is what my mother wants, she always gets one way or another. Still, turning my mother’s opinion around can’t be that hard, can it?
There are many other issues, but according to my new wife, those are minor compared to the biggest one—she says I will never be able to accept being tied down.
Don’t worry—I got this one. I intend to prove to her in no uncertain terms that being tied up, down, or horizontal is just what this Upper East Sider needs.
Title:Battle of the Sexes
Author:Adriana Locke
Synopsis:
Carver Jones’ partner at Jones + Gallum had to step down for medical reasons. He’s absolutely devastated. He swears. Just ignore his cheeky grin, okay?
When word reaches his fancy corner office that Gallum is replacing himself with his daughter, Amity, Carver is ecstatic.
For real this time.
Jones squashes men in the business industry flat. A woman? Pfst. He’ll be completely in charge in no time, doing whatever he wants. He’s so ready for this.
But is he ready to fight the hardest fight of his life? No, not the one to maintain control of his company. The one to keep control of his heart.
The battle may begin in the boardroom, but the war will definitely be won in the bedroom. May the best sex win.
Title:Unsupervised
Author:Cora Kenborn
Synopsis:
Niall
A non-existent love life, unstable paycheck, and a six-year-old who’d rather hit boys than books sound more like a cry for help than a dating profile. On paper, it would seem like I need a life coach, but I’ve managed to get a decent grip on the single-dad thing. My love life, on the other hand, is an entirely different story. With my sexy Irish accent, I should have women of all ages losing their minds, but I seem to attract only a certain type—crazy.
The last thing I want is a new relationship, but I need a date for my company’s charity function. A chance meeting with a tall, leggy blonde who looks like she could use a night out is the perfect solution. Beautiful, sane, and she has a kid? We have a winner.
I didn’t count on Laken being unforgettable. Unlike all the other fake women I’ve met in this city, she’s real. And if there’s one thing I value more than anything, it’s honesty.
Laken
I didn’t bust my ass in college to be a nanny. Unfortunately, a 4.0 GPA and sucking up to the owner’s sister did nothing to secure a coveted Tate & Cane Enterprises internship. I’m not proud of being a nanny-for-hire to get my foot in the door, but my wealthy socialite employer has the ears of company executives. Swallowing my pride, I do what I need to—until an afternoon at the park changes everything.
I don’t mean to let him think Preston is my kid, but he just assumes. This isn’t me. I’m not a liar. Although his panty-melting accent does unspeakable things to me, I should set the record straight. There’s only one problem. Niall is a freelance photographer for Tate & Cane and invites me to a company event as his plus-one. He’s my “in.”
If I can hold on to this charade long enough, I can get the job and the man of my dreams. I’m winging this completely unsupervised. Game on.
Title:Twisted
Author:Mandi Beck
Synopsis:
Three friends walk into a bar . . . One walks out the fake girlfriend of a hot, bearded Scotsman.
Fannin McGuire is up for promotion at Tate and Cane Enterprises, but first she has to make it through her stepsister’s wedding. To Fannin’s ex. Yep. Her ex-fiancé is about to be her new brother-in-law. One big happy family. And lucky her, she also gets to work with him.
While Fannin is putting all of her energy into her career, her ex is putting all of his energy into making her life hell. Just when Fannin is sure she’ll be attending the wedding without a plus one, in walks Jasper James to save the day. He’s the bartender at the Iron Flask, the account she’s trying to land, and everything she didn’t know she needed or wanted. Before Fannin knows what’s happening, Jasper is
playing knight in shining armor and she likes it. And him. A lot. With his smooth Scottish accent, ridiculously good looks, and that beard? She doesn’t stand a chance.
Jasper isn’t in the habit of rescuing anyone. But when Fannin is confronted by her ex about her lack of a date for his upcoming nuptials, Jasper can’t help but step in. Her wild hair, violet eyes, and killer legs have him doing a few things he normally wouldn’t. Never mind that he shouldn’t be getting involved with the woman in charge of making the bar a global success.
Their fake relationship becomes more real than either thought it would. Now they’re at the mercy of their feelings when truths are twisted, and the lies don’t taste as smooth as the whisky.
Title:Cheeky
Author:Natasha Madison
Synopsis:
Bradley Fitch has it all. A suave job, a gigantic trust fund, and an accent that makes panties drop faster than the speed of light. His new life in New York City is fast-paced and furious, but it's nothing a little getaway can't cure.
What says party and unwind like Las Vegas? Nothing. Plus, whatever happens there has to stay there.
When his best friend bails, he finds himself sitting on the plane next to his best friend's sister.
She’s off-limits—proverbial caution tape wrapped around her body. Of course, she’s also totally ball busting gorgeous.
Lexi Quinn fell in love with Bradley at eight years old and then vowed to kill him at eight and a half. What was supposed to be a romantic week away is turning into a nightmare. Her ex is actually married, her luggage is lost, and her reservation is cancelled. And she's sitting next to the man she swore to hate forever.
One week. No strings attached. What is the worst that could happen?
It's all fun and games till this British bad boy gives new meaning to BBC and becomes a little bit too cheeky.

T. Gephart is one of my all time favorite authors, one of my one-click addictions :D So, you shouldn't be surprised that I was ecstatic when I got my hands on this novella. I expected the fun and I expected the hotness and even some heartbreak. But this read was so much more. I was in love with the characters from the very start. Truth is, I think I would've loved it if it was even longer. So I can get more of my T. Gephart fix and of course Kyle :D
Sara is definitely a fun character even if she is a little bit unreasonable at time. But the winner for me was definitely Kyle. Sweet, sexy, romantic and so HOT, he can simply melt your panties of :D So he is a little bit of a manwh*re but that changes quite fast once he meets Sara. And even without that change in him, he is definitely a man you would want to get your hands on. The way he treats his sister and everything he's done for will definitely warm your heart and make you want him even more :)
But here is a warning for you. No funny business, no conversation and keep your hands OFF!!! Kyle is MINE, MINE, MINE!!! :D (Sorry, I've been rewatching Dirty Dancing again and that kind of stuck with me :D )
The Run In
If you are in the mood for something more slow burn, then you should definitely check this short novella. It is quite funny from the start and though there are quite a few scorching scenes, the sexual part is left for the very end :)
Saylor and Mason are two intriguing characters. I connected with them from the very start and even though, they don't exactly see eye to eye, it is very obvious that there is something much more between them than what appears on the surface. The story is dual POV, which I really enjoyed as I got the thoughts and feelings of both characters.
If you've read Kelly before, you know that you would want to get your hands on this one. And if you haven't, this is the perfect place to start :)
Tied
Similarly to the other stories in this Kindle World, this one is also hilarious. I laughed my a** out :D But that's definitely not all. It is sweet and romantic, a little bit heartbreaking but so, so, so HOT.
James and Lindsay are two very interesting characters. I kind of immediately fell in love with them. Their story starts a little bit as a joke with the whole Vegas wedding thing but James quickly realises that Lindsay is the one woman who can change his life. The one woman for whom, he will change his wh*ring ways. But of course that only happens when he already sc**wed things up :D. And that's where the fun begins - 30 days to ix things and prove that just like Lindsay is the woman for him, he is the right man for her.
So if you are in the mood for a short and relaxing read that is so sexy and hot that will leave you hot and bothered, don't hesitate and pick up your copy ;)
Battle of the Sexes
This is another fun and hot story with incredible characters. And another one in which you should keep your hands OFF the guy :D Carter is all MINE :D
Now that we got that out of the way, let's talk some more about the story. I loved the whole friends- to enemies - to lovers vibe of the story. It is intriguing to see the battle between Carter and Amity but also how they get to know each other again and discover that everything they thought of each other is so different. And considering they work together, all that sexual tension results in some pretty hilarious situations :D
So pick up your copy now :D Don't waste your time and meet my man Carter :D
Unsupervised
Simply hilarious and so, so HOT. I loved Laken and Niall. Those two definitely grabbed my heart from the very start. Laken with her sassiness and snarky banter and Niall with his hot domineering alpha behaviour. And let's not forget that pantie melting accent. He can boss me around all day long and I won't complain at all :D
As a whole, this story is amazing. You will definitely laugh a lot but don't think it's all hearts and flowers. Because of a small fib, things get somewhat out of hand and that can cost Niall and Laken's HEA. So grab your copy and find out what happens in the end :)
Cheeky
I got into Natasha Madison's books by chance. She is an attending author at a signing I am attending next week and few months ago she was giving the option to review one of her books. Well, I signed up and I was in love. I loved her angst filled stories and shed tears together with the characters but once she came out with Tempt the Boss, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt for a week :D So of course, when I found out about Cheeky, I was super excited to read it. And I so wasn't disappointed. I laughed so hard and I got hot and bothered and I even shed a tear for the eight-year old whose heart got broken. And about the hot and bothered part. Ummm, hello. A sexy Brit with pantie melting British accent. No way I was missing that :D
As a whole, the story is pretty fun and relaxing to read. There is no big heartbreak or suspense. Just pantie melting hotness and fun :) So if you are in the mood for something short and relaxing that will seriously make you laugh, you should #1click this beauty ;) You won't regret it.
Tia Monroe was smart, sassy and successful. Sure, she could get a little crazy at times—life around Tia was never boring—but that was part of her appeal. And while she didn’t see herself as ‘classically beautiful’, she had no shortage of options in the boyfriend department. She just hadn’t found one who held her interest.
Until she laid eyes on Eric Larsson, and then it was lust at first sight.
He packed the perfect mix of smoldering sexy and unapologetic cool into his blond-haired, blue-eyed, ridiculously hot six-foot-four frame. One smile from him was enough to twist her insides, making her girlie bits tingle in the most delicious way. But it wasn’t just his looks, he was smart and funny—charming in the most a-dork-able way.
The only problem was . . . Tia had never actually met him.
Eric Larsson was one of Hollywood’s hottest movie stars, rising to the top of his game and leaving a trail of disintegrated panties in his wake. Tia’s were no exception—but she wasn’t delusional. Love, marriage and happily-ever-after were not part of her fantasy; she just wanted to meet him. Just one time. One time. Confident that just seeing him in the flesh would get him out of her system.
So, with her resolve steeled, Tia set off on a quest to make it happen while avoiding her mug shot being splayed across the five o’clock news.
The journey no doubt will make for one hell of a story.
“Oh my God.” The words wheezed out of me as all the oxygen escaped from my lungs. My chest tightened like I’d been kicked right in between my ribs.
There he was a few feet behind me slowly making his way toward me.
“Eric, look here.”
“Eric, this way.”
Both sides of the line screamed at him as he patiently walked from side to side, signing autographs and taking selfies. Each step he took inching him closer to where I had frozen, my eyes bulging out of my head like a complete lunatic.
There he was.
Eric Larsson, right in front of me.
And not even internet stalking could have prepared me for what he looked like in real life.
Breathtaking.
So handsome he almost didn’t seem real, and as much as I tried I couldn’t stop staring.
Say something my mouth begged as my brain continued on its mental vacation. My eyes scanned every inch of his body like it was planning to build a 3-D replica.
Holy hell he was wearing the absolute fuck out of that suit. Every inch of the fabric curling around his delicious body like its life depended on it. And believe me, even though he was covered from head to toe in tailored Tom Ford perfection—I’d seen photos of him in this particular suit before—it did nothing to hide how obscenely hot he was.
My heart thumped loudly as he took another step closer, his eyes remaining on the crowd.
“Larsson.”
It rang out clear despite the noise around us. It took me a minute to realize that while my brain had stalled, my mouth hadn’t suffered the same fate. My lips still open as his name left them.
Who the hell yells out his last name? I panicked, unable to tear my eyes from him as his head lifted and his eyes settled on me.
Dear. Lord. In. Heaven. And. All. The. Saints.
Eric Larsson was looking at me.
At me.
At ME!
His brow lifted in acknowledgement as his lips curled, momentarily blinding me as he flashed his trademark smile.
Well, if that wasn’t an invitation, I didn’t know what was.
So, even though I was struggling to breathe—my ability to remain upright also not guaranteed—my feet moved me closer toward him. My internal pep talk worked overtime as I reminded myself we were on a mission. Two minutes of eye contact, conversation . . . and something about me finding out what an asshole he was.
“Hi.” The best I could do given the circumstances.
Intellectually I knew the man was tall. I mean, in my head I figured I knew what six-foot-four looked like. But as I lifted my eyes, it didn’t come close to where I should be looking, my gaze hitting his chin before I tilted my head even higher.
“Hi,” he responded, the single word sent a shiver down my spine as he unleashed another blinding smile.
Those eyes were something else. The clearest blue I had ever seen, and though I knew it wasn’t possible it seemed like they illuminated from the inside out. Like magical orbs, the weight of their stare hypnotized me, pulling me in closer like a force field. I couldn’t have looked away if I’d tried. Not that I tried, and not that I wanted to.
And oh Lord have mercy, did he smell good. Mouthwatering. Ridiculous that it would even get a mention given I already had those eyes, his face and his delectable couture-wrapped body to contend with. Yet there was his scent wafting up my nose uninvited. A sadistic mix of sexy, clean and masculine—probably Calvin Klein—overwhelmed me as I fought the urge to bury my head in his neck and inhale him like a line of cocaine.
Say something you dumbass. My mouth begged as my hand, completely of its own accord, reached out and rested on his arm.
Holy. Freaking. Shit. I. Was. Touching. Him.
Do not moan, I reminded myself.
“Congratulations on the movie.” Words poured out of my mouth, thankfully in a sequence that made sense, as my fingers struggled not to caress the fabric of his suit. My fingers didn’t listen, slowly stroking in small—slightly inappropriate and rather suggestive—circles.
Wow, this is a really, really nice suit.
Do not lick it.

T loves to travel, laugh and surround herself with colorful characters. This inevitably spills into her writing and makes for an interesting journey - she is well and truly enjoying the ride! Based on her life experiences, T has plenty of material for her books and has a wealth of ideas to keep you all enthralled.
OK. Here's the thing everyone. This is a book that's a MUST READ!!! I can't remember when was the last time I enjoyed a books so much. I pretty much laughed my a*s off. It was that hilarious. If I have to describe it in a few words, I would say incredibly funny, romantic and definitely burn-the-sheets HOT. There is no much more to say. It's definitely one of the best books I've read recently and I definitely recommend it.
Tia is a fire cracker. She is so much fun and has all these ridiculous ideas and plans that will make you laugh till so hard, there will be tears in your eyes. The thing is that in most cases she gets in trouble after executing one of her ideas. And this time, things get slightly more complicated :D
The romantic story that develops thanks to Tia's escapades is so beautiful and sweet. It is kind of a Cinderella fairy tale. And Eric can definitely be Prince Charming. With his incredibly hot body, smouldering eyes and hypnotic smile, he can make you melt into a puddle in the span of few seconds. And when you add to that his romantic gestures and off the chart hotness in the bedroom (or wherever he catches you), I can guarantee you will fall hard and fast :D And it will be so worth it.
OK. I have to be honest here. There was a part towards the end of the book, where I wanted to strangle Eric. I get why he did what he did but it was too much and in a way even cruel. And Tia definitely let him off the hook too easily. He deserved to suffer some more.
With that being said, I still love this book :D So don't waste your time and #oneclick your copy now. You won't regret it. And it will make you laugh so hard that it will improve your mood for at least a week :D
