The Rom Con

De: Devon Daniels

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

A modern battle of the sexes about a journalist who hatches an elaborate plan to take down her professional rival, in a rom-com perfect for fans of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

After a particularly brutal breakup, Cassidy Sutton has had it with dating. So when her grandmother gives her a 1950’s dating guide entitled 125 Tips to Hook a Husband, she decides to turn the retro advice into an ironic “What not to do” article for Siren, the popular online women’s publication she writes for. And who better to secretly test the old-fashioned tips on than Jack Bradford, chauvinistic creator of rival men’s site Brawler? She’ll write an article that will entertain female readers everywhere and embarrass their sexist nemesis at the same time. Two birds, one stone.

But her perfect plan soon proves to be anything but. Those vintage courtship tips Cassidy was so quick to poke fun at? They actually seem to work, calling her most closely-held beliefs into question. Even worse? Jack isn’t falling for any of her tricks—and it’s not long before their ‘fake’ relationship starts to feel like the realest one of her life. As her cat and mouse game starts to spiral out of control, Cassidy has to decide if she’s playing to win, or if she’s willing to lose it all for love.

Fun romp with the retro elements!

I spent years watching those retro movies with my mom and grandmother, so seeing someone else enjoy them and pull the elements into a modern rom-com just tickled me pink. I’ve recommended this cute book to my young daughter-in-law!

Sweet and funny

Loved the characters and the Grandmother’s take on life. An HEA with true life circumstances.

Great writing, and great narration!

I love Devon Daniels style and these two narrators always do a great job of bringing it to life. Hope she keeps writing more!

Great read

The first book she wrote was great so I have been patiently waiting for another. Did not disappoint!

lovely!

i was looking forward to listening to this book after the author's first book. I love her way of using real articles as the basis of her novels.
