The Book

The man I met in the holding cell is my new boss.

I repeat: Holding cell.

New boss.

Nightmare.

Roman Drake is younger than me, inconveniently gorgeous, and way too good at pushing my buttons. I don’t need a playboy like him in my life, especially because I’m already plagued by my poor taste in men.

Case in point? I’m currently working with my ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend…at a matchmaking company. To make matters worse, my first love has just dumped a pile of debt in my lap, leaving me scrambling for an extra job. Good thing I can take care of myself; I’ll shoulder this burden on my own. But when my problems keep piling up, it’s none other than Roman freaking Drake who rides to my rescue, offering a solution too tempting to resist.

So I’ll work with him for a while—just long enough to rejuvenate my bank account—and then I’ll move on, leaving him and his laughing eyes in the rearview mirror.

Except the more time I spend with Roman, the more I realize I was wrong about him. It’s not his flirting I need to watch out for; it’s the way he looks at me. Somehow he sees what I’m trying to hide. He’s delighted by the things that have scared other men away.

I’ve sworn off love, and I refuse to soften now. I’ve had too many bad experiences in the past to go down that road again. If only the man from that stupid holding cell didn’t make it so difficult to stay away…

Book Review

If Gracie Ruth Mitchell writes it, I'm going to read it... and love it. She truly is the queen of romcoms, delivering unique stories, laugh out loud moments and swoon worthy romance that I absolutely cannot get enough of. This one was no exception... I mean, a meet cute in a jail cell? And then discovering that your mystery cellmate is your new temporary boss!? Talk about a way to start a romance! Needless to say, Roman and Aurora's story caught my attention right from the very start... and their chemistry and banter kept me smiling through the end. Roman was such a fun character- little bit cheeky, with just the right amount of confidence and flirting. He was truly a perfect match for Aurora... even if he was five years younger! I loved catching back up with the Marigold family and all of their crazy antics... they are an impossible family not to love, that's for certain! With a reverse age gap and workplace romance, this one had a lot to love, and I certainly did just that. 

To All the Guys I Loathed Before is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is the third book in the Lucky in Love series, but I do believe it could be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
