Synopsis:

I live by one motto – work hard, play harder.

A pro-football player at the top of my game; the Devereux charm, and my skills on and off the field, haven’t let me down yet.

Whatever I want comes easy to me but when I see the cute, blonde gym instructor with the sensational body, I want her … but something tells me it’s going to take more than my name to score with Perrie Fraser.

Head down, no distractions – it’s my new mantra.

As a gym instructor to high-end clientele, all I want is to get through each day without attracting unwanted attention. Even if that attention does come in the form of a drop-dead gorgeous, annoyingly charming pro-football player.

If his ego doesn’t send me running, then his playboy image definitely should … but the more I get to know him, the clearer it becomes that saying no to Thomas Devereux is going to be much harder than I thought.

About The Author

I am a lady who is in my early thirties who feels like a girl in my late teens!!! I love to read and write - My favourites are angst ridden romance and post-apocalyptic romance but I am up for anything so long as it's a page turner. 

I work hard and also play hard. I have an amazing family, am a mother of one and a wife of a demanding Manchester United fan.

I enjoy socialising, TV shows that incite obsessiveness, movies that become cult favourites and books that I can't put down.

I love my friends and quirky characters that I can observe and feed into my stories. I am excellent at accents and playing characters, which I like to slip into my everyday life.

All in all I'm a crazy person who likes to jazz up the mundane and breathe life into characters that I wish I knew in real life.

Review - Closing the Deal by Hayley Oakes

BLURB

Charlotte Blake. Cut throat business woman and a powerhouse professional. Her interpersonal skills could use some work but her career comes first. 

Everything she has, she has worked for.

Luke ‘Dex’ Dexter. Her adversary at work with the face of an angel and the charm of the devil. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he’s everything that Charlotte resents.

Everything he has, has been handed to him.

He’s a self-entitled arrogant playboy. She’s an uptight work-focused bore.

Two opposing colleagues forced together in small-town America through decisions beyond their control. Charlotte and Dex must find a way to make it work and close the deal a thousand miles from home.

Charlotte can’t remember how it feels to be young and carefree and Dex doesn’t know what it means to be an adult.

When the sworn enemies unwittingly find themselves becoming a finely tuned team, neither of them are prepared for the outcome.

MY REVIEW

This was a delightful read, I was totally absorbed, hubby came upstairs and said that must be a good book as you've not moved from bed.....

I love an opposites attract book, as you generally find they're not as opposite as you think. In this book we have two people that have misjudged one another, they are thrown together in a foreign country on a work project, what could go wrong? Or right! 

I loved Dex he was 'real' warm and entertaining and a touch delicious but not perfect. Char is definitely not perfect, she's career minded, uptight, almost OCD in routines, watching her walls fall and seeing her blossom was great, I was pleased she never sacrificed her intelligence or work ethics, just had fun and saw the man behind the bravado.

"You're actually a good guy Luke Dexter." I said quietly.
"And you are not an unfeeling android but I won't tell anyone if you don't?" he smirked, bumping me lightly with his shoulder. 

This book gave me the feels, I had a tear in my eye a time or two.

"It's not just sex Char, I love how sharp you are, how clever you are, how fucking good you are at your job... "

Luke goes on and it's really moving.

The relationship developing between Char and Luke is sweet and sexy, but we have some angst thrown in to make it interesting and let's face it real, life is full of stress and angst!

This isn't the first book I've read from this author, she writes very real characthers that you can connect with and this book is a great read.

4.5 opposites attract stars

Beautiful Imperfection by Hayley Oakes

Book Blurb

Failure wasn’t what Cassidy Sinclair expected when she got married … but that’s exactly what she got. 

Instead of getting her happy ever after she is struggling to adjust to living back with her unconventional parents and the chatter of small town gossip. 

Desi Cardwell was never known for his interpersonal skills and being back in small town Tolvey, sending the rumour mill into overdrive, was not what he wanted for himself.

Both forced home after a decade away, Cassidy and Desi begin an unlikely alliance when she agrees to train with him at his newly opened gym.

Desi is mysterious, guarded and borderline rude but what he lacks in charm he more than makes up for with his hard body and devilish good looks.

Desi does not need anything to keep him in Tolvey longer than necessary.

Cassidy needs something mind-numbing to help her forget her ex.

Both beautifully broken can they find in each other a light in the dark?

My Review

Loved this book, the characters are everyday people that live in towns and cities and live average life's, you may think oh no that sounds hum drum, trust me it's not!

Cass is a broken lady, she can't have a baby, her marriage is over and she's moved in with her 'new Age' parents in a small seaside town, what could be worse? Maybe bumping into old school friends and telling them you failed in the big city......

Desi is newly back in town, his keeping his reasons quiet though.

Cass, she's a mess- drinking, smoking too much and not eating. 

Desi is a moody mare to put it lightly, his bossy too and rarely smiles, your wondering how come you like him? Well his real, has issues, but does have a softer side which he shows eventually. Desi also wins me over by being happy to make a cuppa after a hot session - who needs millionaires lol.

You put these two together and they fit perfectly - they're two beautiful persons just a little broke. Add in an average new age family including a wacky sibling, some fun friends and your set for a great story and I have to say loved callain! 

Beautiful writing and a story that will keep you turning pages ❤️
