Mile High Matched Book 2
It's all fun and games until somebody falls in love...
Jase Dvornakov has always loved women, 80's hair band music, and things that go boom. He used to disarm bombs in the Navy, but he's back in Denver after a mission overseas went sideways and destroyed his future, including his marriage. Now he arranges flowers in his family's floral business because flowers don't explode.
Cookie-baker extraordinaire, Heather Reese, has had one too many rounds of heartache, so she's sworn off men and prefers to spend her evenings binge-watching game shows. Plus her no-men rule gives her time to focus on her dream come true--Heather's Cookie Co.--her very own bake shop with an underground following for naughty shaped treats. She refuses to be interested in the hot-shot florist across the street. He is trouble with a capital T. Sexy trouble, but still, a hook-up with Jase is a hard nope.
Desperate to avoid his family's incessant matchmaking, a fake breakup with the beautiful Heather is just what the florist ordered. If his family believes Heather decimated his heart, they'll leave him alone. Heather isn't so keen on the idea, but Jase is determined to make it worth her while. When a pretend breakup becomes the real romance neither was expecting, together they'll have to decide if it's finally time to light the fuse on love...

My Review:
I laughed. I cried. I want to do it all over again. The thing I like most about this author’s work is that it truly is the textbook definition of romantic comedy. It’s both pee-your-pants funny and tie-your-emotions-in-knots sweet and angsty. A wounded warrior in uniform is just about the best hero that can be designed for me. That Jase has a sense of humor and a romantic streak a mile wide makes him completely irresistible. Heather’s been burned by a few too many jerks in her dating life and now wants nothing to do with men at all. What starts as a simple anti-relationship quickly becomes more complicated than either Jase or Heather could anticipate. I love reading about these characters. I adore laughing at the antics of their friends and families. And I can’t wait to do it all over again in the next book.
I read a borrowed copy of this book.
