BLURB:
Scotty:
When a gorgeous cop comes racing out of a building on Fifth Avenue, hops in your horse-drawn carriage, and screams, “Go!”—you go.
You don’t stop and ask for paperwork. Or a badge. Or an explanation of who you’re chasing. You simply follow his shouted orders and try not to kill anyone in the process.
At least, that’s what I did when it happened to me.
But then it turns out that the “cop” is none other than Roman Burke, Hollywood’s hottest star, and our little joyride gets me fired. Now I’m broke, my horse has been evicted from her barn, and I’ve got nowhere to turn.
Roman:
When you accidentally hijack a Central Park carriage to escape the paparazzi, get pulled over by the police, and your crisis manager insists you lay low for a while, you nod your head and go.
And when the cute carriage driver shows up on your front step, horse in tow, blaming you for losing his job, you agree to fix it. Even if that means hauling both him and his horse along with you on your Vermont getaway.
At least that’s what I did when it happened to me.
Unfortunately, trouble seems to stick to the sexy carriage driver like hot syrup on a hotter waffle, making my Vermont retreat anything but quiet.
Now the carriage driver is in my bed, unexpected guests are crawling out of the woodwork, and the paparazzi is on my tail. With chaos and scandal swarming around me, suddenly, it isn’t just my career on the line.
It’s my heart.
REVIEW:
This was a hard one for me and tbh I still don’t know why. It took me a while to get into this story and to feel a connection.
I am glad though, that I finished this book because when I managed to get the feel for it, I really liked it.
I mean lets face it, what’s not to love about Scotty? And Roman is, despite being a complicated person, such a kind and gentle soul.
There is no denying the absolute sizzling chemistry between them and the authors did an excellent job of making sure the reader felt that 🙂
This book also has a great sense of humor laced within (hence the title). There are so many silly situations happening that for me it was a bit too much. And despite having some great laughs. I mostly liked the moments where it was just Scotty and Roman.
I love how they manage to build their relationship despite everything happening around them. I loved their insecurities, and they both have totally different ones but so real and sincere.
Can I just mention how I absolutely adored the love between Scotty and Nugget? That was a true example of love between a human and their beloved animal.
I didn’t really click with some of the side characters and no I am not going to name which ones because I strongly believe that is always personal
There are some characters I really loved though, like Lolo! Gosh I cannot wait to read his story! And what about the hot cop Trevor? I wouldn’t mind reading his story either. The authors already mentioned their will be more books in this series and I have to say that it is something to look forward to. I absolutely loved IRL and I liked LOL so I am very much looking forward to the next books in this series.
This partnership in writing between Lucy Lennox and Molly Maddox is an absolute hit! Both authors have a great way of story telling and know how to keep a reader interested by drawing them in. Kudo’s for that.
