Resumen del Editor

Uncovering this sexy geek’s charm is easy. Keeping her hands off of him is impossible.

While he may look like the love child of a movie starlet and an NFL linebacker, Ben Langley has the people skills of a half-drowned porcupine. Why socialize when there are chemistry labs and bad sci-fi flicks? If he has any hope of taking the helm as CEO of the family business, Ben needs an image makeover. Pronto.

Enter Holly Colvin, owner of First Impressions public relations and branding firm, and the woman who just saved Ben from the clutches of an over-attentive sales clerk. Holly’s rebranded hundreds of companies in her career, but she’s never rebranded a person. The guy clearly needs help, though, and she’s just the woman for the job.

With the clock ticking for them both, Holly and Ben face off over wardrobe malfunctions and business jargon that sounds a lot sexier than it should. But can Holly make Ben into the man he thinks he should be without losing the man she’s starting to love?

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

beautiful story

love the way the story was written captured the caricatures perfectly. made it easy to visually be there.

Fun read/listen

Quirky and easy story. Perfect for a Saturday afternoon. Mixing business with pleasure makes for a fun time.

nice twist to the male lead. loved it

(Ben & Holly): OMG I loved this so much. Ben is presented to be extremely sexy but when he opens his mouth a bunch of scientific gibberish falls out. He's awkward and it's adorable. He works rather be in a lab or in his office than where he's supposed to be now. He's now moving up to CEO of his father's company and that requires to be seen and heard more. He needs help. Holly is the co-owner of a public relations firm. I loved their meet-cute in a furniture shop. Their connection is immediate and it is strong. They try to fight their connection but it becomes difficult when Ben hires Holly to help him become more like a CEO. This book is sexy, hot and extremely funny. I really enjoyed it.

Needs 2 person narration

Narrator does a wonderful job. But much prefer both male and female narrators. Having female voice for male parts detracts from the experience.

Cute Ron-com

Cute story, i enjoyed it. The flow of the story was just right, and the character development was fine. I don’t understand the review calling out the fifty shades reference it was one line, and wasn’t a big deal. Didn’t ruin the book at all.

4.5 Stats

Sweet and Sexy, just what I was looking for.

This book takes off right from the beginning having Ben and Holly within chapter one. Once the rollercoaster of hilarious, sexy, and sweet, it goes straight to the end.

No big drama. The boon keeps a positive pace throughout ad the two main characters decide if they want a personal or business relationship and what it's worth to them.

Business jargon is used extensively throughout... and un wonderfully creative ways.

Great beach read for the summer... or any other time you want a romance that feels real.

 enjoyed listening to this book

Fun story, mixing up trust issues and childhood issues and insecurities and then conquering them!!

The Fix Up

I thought this first book in the series was funny, well written, and kept me entertained throughout.

Great job and good luck to you on your new endeavor- you’ve got a great career coming your way.

Performance was good, too

Fun listen!

This was my first book with this author and I really enjoyed it. Will definitely try the next book in the series. This is a fun, light escape. Great for breaking away from the real world. I read a lot of suspense but every so often you just need a fun book that makes you smile. Thanks for the break!
