Publisher's summary

Perry Hawthorne is my boss. Only my boss. And I do NOT have a crush.

When one of THE Hawthorne brothers—known by their chiseled jawlines and their family-run farm and event center—hires me to be his virtual assistant, I do everything I can to keep him firmly in the work zone.

His grumpy demeanor helps. His smoking hot profile picture does not.

But even if I do have a crush (a very tiny one), I can't catch real feelings for a million different reasons.

Besides the whole business part of our relationship, I'm a single mom. I have to think about what's best for my son, Jack. And my grumpy, divorced, humorless boss isn't exactly giving me "ready to be a stepdad" vibes.

When Perry upgrades me from virtual to in-person assistant, I wonder if I've gotten him all wrong. He's actually pretty great with Jack. And with me? Let's just say the chemistry crackling between us might vaporize all my reasons for keeping my distance.

Trouble is, after his messy divorce, I'm not sure Perry's ready to bet on a new relationship. But it isn't just my heart that's on the line. And after everything we went through before my husband died, I'm not sure that's a gamble I'm ready to take.

Way better than the first!

Loved this story and narration so much more than the first book! The voices fit the characters better, but I still feel like the male narrator’s voice could have been improved and I struggled a lot with the mismatch of his voice for Lila and the female narrator’s voice. They were just so different that it made it hard to go back and forth between the narrators when they were voicing the same character.

Such a cute story!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book so much. It’s the definition of a romantic comedy 100%. No super drama, no random side stories. I just really loved it.

Sweet romcom!

I loved the book and loved the characters! The narration was great. The only difficulty I had was the quick wrap up.

Grumpy/sunshine

Lila and Perry actually communicate like adults. There’s still plenty of navigating past old hurts and having to get past failures but it was refreshing to see a couple actually talking and not assuming what the other was thinking. Having said that, there is plenty of sweet heat and chemistry going on! And the kisses are really hot but no spice!
