BOOK SYNOPSIS
Marley Cartman is fed up with arrogant rich guys who treat her like garbage, so she vows to only date men with modest paychecks and a little dirt under their nails.
Her new boss, William Barclay, is exactly the kind of man she's trying to avoid: an eccentric millionaire with duct shape shoes and an unexplained vendetta against her.
But as Will and Marley butt heads over grumpy badgers and phallic artifacts, they discover that sometimes the opposite of what you want is exactly what you need.
My Thoughts
From the very start this book will nab your attention with it’s wit, warmth, easy pace and total disregard for acceptable topics for discussion within mixed company.
We all want the same things as Marley, respect, honesty and devotion from the man we find ourselves wanting to spend time with and get to know. William Barclay may seem like the exact opposite of what she is looking for but the more time they spend together, bonding over silly innuendo, mutual love of animals, music and movies the more comfortable Marley finds herself becoming in his company.
I loved the fact that the author took these characters and made them so likable as well as showed their insecurities allowing both Marley and Will a chance to work through some conflicts that cropped up causing them to both learn that trust is a two way street and without just falling into a relationship right off the bat when their mutual chemistry for each other was immediate.
This is a fast, fun, totally lighthearted read which was a nice introduction for me to the author’s style and one that makes me look forward to more of her work. At the finish was left with a delighted smile on my face!
The first but not the last book I hope to read written by Tawna Fenske!
