"I think I liked the main characters? It was hard to tell because they weren’t super well developed. I feel like I don’t know who Vanessa and Michael are outside of each other. There was lots of sex and not much emotional development which also made the romance feel a bit sparse. Some aspects also reminded me of The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon which was odd and took me out of the story a bit. I didn’t necessarily dislike the book, it just wasn’t a stand out to me. Other’s might enjoy the pace and themes though, I did enjoy those pieces!<br/><br/>Thank you to the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review."

"When we first meet Vanessa Jared she is newly single after 20 years and trying to navigate her new normal by attending a divorce support group. Within the first few minutes she realizes this group can't provide what she needs. Fortunately, two other attendees realize the same and they all leave together. The trio quickly hits it off and form The Savvy, Sexy, Singles Club. <br/><br/>On the club's second anniversary the very handsome sheriff of Monroe Hills, PA, Michael Park, shows up on her doorstep with shocking news and a proposition. Michael's baby sister is engaged to Vanessa's no-good ex-husband and he's asking her to come to Monroe Hills and expose her ex for guy he really is before his sister makes the biggest mistake of her life. Initially, Vanessa wants no parts of Michael's plan that is until she sees his sister wearing HER grandmother's ring. She agrees to help Michael on the condition he retrieves her ring.<br/><br/>A series of unfortunate events prevent Vanessa from speaking to Michael's sister, Cindy, right away as planned AND she is stranded in Monroe Hills with no place to stay. While waiting around for the opportunity to talk with Cindy, Vanessa and Michael can't help but notice a growing attraction to each other. Can these two put their fears aside and give love a real chance??<br/><br/>Quick and easy read that's steamy in all the right places."
