Mace
Discipline is what separates the successful from the fakers.
I am always fully in control of my company, my family, and my life. Even my diet is perfectly regulated—that includes no candy.
Except when my new assistant sprays chocolate sauce all over me and passes out drunk in my car, it marks the point where my control over everything starts to unravel.
Josie is a walking disaster and some sort of sugar addict.
And she's determined to turn me into a fiend for her candy.
Josie
Routines are the enemy of life. I live to be spontaneous.
My new billionaire boss looks like he needs something sweet in his life. I graciously offered to let him stick his hand in my candy jar.
It has salt water taffy and gummy worms! I can't believe he thought it was inappropriate!
I feel sorry for the guy. His little brothers are miserable, his PowerPoints are uninspired, and his life is seriously lacking in joy. And candy.
Thought if I'm being honest, I could use a little more discipline. My YOLO, fly-by-the-seat-of-my pants philosophy already sent my life into a tailspin.
It cost me the entirety of my life savings.
I'm living in a dilapidated tiny house that’s trying to kill me.
I regularly eat chocolate chips and boxed wine for dinner.
In an effort to redeem myself, I set out to show Mace that I wasn't a clumsy, car destroying, electronic-killing accident-prone, walking disaster. That lasted all of five minute before I set his seaweed and quinoa lunch on fire. Yeah, I didn't know that was a thing either.
I can tell I'm a bad influence. I see him lick his lips when we're alone. I just have to convince him to take one little bite…
Because once he has a taste, he's going to want to stick his whole face in my candy jar.
This standalone, full length romantic comedy has no cliffhangers! It features a boiling hot romance, the largest selection of hot brothers to ever grace your e-reader, and a heroine prone to making suggestive comments!
My Review:
This story was pure insanity and absurdly fun. Josie is a walking disaster but she’s so sweet. There’s no malice in her so it’s impossible to take her chaos personally. Mace is wound so tight, he’s likely to snap at any moment. An out-of-control childhood has turned him into a control-freak as an adult. Their story is one hundred percent ‘opposites attract’. I loved being able to sit back and watch the bedlam swirl around them. Though, Josie’s steadfast refusal to involve the authorities in her legal issues until she was backed into a corner left me gnashing my teeth in frustration. I am charmed by the Svensson clan and look forward to reading more about them. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
