My name is Blue - insert a mood-related joke here - and I’m a femme fatale in training. My goal is to join the CIA. Unfortunately, I have a tiny issue with birds, and the closest I’ve come to my dream is working for a government agency that’s disturbingly up-to-speed on everyone’s sexts, rants in private Facebook groups, and secret family chocolate-chip cookie recipes.

My new assignment at work: test out toys. Yup, that kind. But when the testing goes south, and I mean that literally, I’m forced to recruit the help of my new boss, the infamously reclusive and devastatingly sexy Vlad Chortsky, a.k.a. the Impaler. Testing toys with your scorching hot boss is still professional...right?

I knocked up my best friend's sister. Let's start with how she decided to inform me and Pacey the news...together. Imagine that nightmare. I was going into what I thought was a hockey marketing meeting, and then bam! I'm going to be a dad and my best friend/teammate is attempting to imprint my face with his fist. Threats were tossed around, friendships were revoked, and then I was marched up to her apartment, suitcases in hand, and forced to live with her so I could take care of her every need. Now I'm finding it harder and harder not to fall for my best friend's little sister.

A daredevil prince wants to pay me mega-bucks to train him to hold his breath underwater for 10 minutes? Sign me up. Except I’m a magician, not a stunt consultant. My record-beating dive without air was a trick. Of course, I can’t tell that to my client, the royally hot Anatolio Cezaroff, a.k.a. Tigger. Not if I want to be able to pay my rent. Also, I’m not exactly comfortable around germs. All germs, including those lurking on uber-attractive men. So falling for my gorgeous client is out of the question, and I fully intend to keep my distance.

He’s the devil himself: Damon Copeland (he practically carries a pitchfork), fiery-hot, a torturously sexy body, and a killer smile (if he ever smiled). He’s also the top dog at my father’s company and my brother’s best friend. Oh, and someone I accidentally slept with. In my defense, that was before I knew who he was and before he hired me. Now, my one-night stand has turned into my boss. What’s worse, he’s Mr. Bosshole Superior: brutish, broody, and impatient. He’s also 6’4". And I’m pretty sure he hates me. But it’s not as if I planned any of this.

It’s simple: Noah Peterson and I are enemies. Our fellow teachers know it, our friends know it—even the Starbucks drive-through lady knows it. The shrill whine of the school bell announces the start of each day’s no-holds-barred grudge match. Since neither of us is looking to get fired or thrown in prison, we war with our words and our wits. We prefer banter that bites. All day, I’m on edge, looking around every corner, expecting him to do his worst. Summer usually offers the sweetest relief—a two-month Noah detox—but not this year.

Lucky me. Four hours a week of having to deal with his insufferable personality and unsolicited advice - the only consolation is getting to stare at his annoyingly gorgeous face, in between our many arguments.

He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

Publisher's Summary
My grandparents’ grumpy neighbor is as hot as the lethal Florida sun. And like the sun, he’s bad for me. My taste in men is the worst - just ask my ex and his restraining order.
What am I doing in Florida with my grandparents, you wonder? Well, my best friend is an octopus, and he needs a bigger tank. So, I took a job at an aquarium in the Sunshine State.
I didn’t expect that sexy, long-haired grump to try to buy my octopus for some nefarious purpose. Nor did I expect to make out with him during a late-night swim at the beach.
And the last thing I expected was to run into him on my first day, at my new job, where he’s my boss....
Note: This is a stand-alone, raunchy, slow-burning romantic comedy featuring a sun-phobic marine biologist, her scorching hot grump of a boss, and an octopus who likes to go on walks in his mobile tank. If any of the above is not your cup of tea, run far, far away. Otherwise, buckle in for a laugh-out-loud, feel-good ride.

Olive & Oliver!!! SOOOO CUTE!!!
I was so excited to read the next Hyman Sisters book by Misha Bell. Of Octopuses and Men was another laugh out loud, slow burn, romantic comedy that had me smiling and feeling happy throughout the whole book. This book was wild, so many quirky characters and full of lots of interesting facts about sea creature. Olive was just as funny as her sisters, but definitely more “normal” in her quirks. Her life revolves around her pet octopus, Beaky, she loves swimming as a mermaid and is obsessed with wearing sunscreen to reduce the chance of getting skin cancer. She clashes with her sexy neighbor, who turns out to be her new boss and his name is Oliver!! How funny is that!! Olive & Oliver!! Can this story get any sillier, LOL. Overall, this story was such a fun read and listen, I enjoyed every minute of it and the narration by Erin Mallon was just phenomenal. Erin did a great job portraying all these crazy, quirky characters, especially bringing Olive & Oliver to life. Let’s not forget Sebastian York’s narration of the epilogue as Oliver, *swoon*. I always look forward to the epilogues and getting a glimpse of the male POV. Cant wait to see what happen’s next with the Hyman sisters, or if Oliver’s brothers will get their story told.

All you never knew about sea creatures and LAUGHS!
This book was shockingly funny. So much knowledge all packed into a sexy rom com. Prepare to laugh out loud if you can get into the book. But if lots of sea life references aren’t your thing this might not tickle your funny bone as much.

What a fun listen!
Another fun read from on of the Hyman girls! Olive was pretty tame compared to some of her sisters books. She has a weird obsession with mermaids. I should say she has a weird obsession with sunscreen as well, but let's face it, she's right about UV damage so I can't even fault her.
We got to meet the grandparents in this book and I adored them. The grandma had a few cringe worthy moments but that does explain why Olive's mom is the way that she is. I think you really can die of embarrassment if you lived through some of what Olive and her sisters had to experience with this family. It makes for an entertaining read for sure.
Last but not least, Oliver was drool worthy. Based off his descriptions, I couldn't help but search for pictures to fit him and I found some good ones! I just love how these hunky men fall for these slightly neurotic women and love them all the more for it.

Hilarious!
OMG! Olive and Oliver's story is hilarious, steamy, and sweet. Olive is such a colorful character, funny, sassy, and determined. Oliver is very handsome. I liked the amazing characters, the slow burn romance, the eccentric Hyman family, and the witty humor. This is an excellent, hilarious, and original Romantic Comedy. Erin Mallon did an outstanding job with the narration. Sebastian York as Oliver reading of the Epilogue was the perfect choice! This story is interconnected with Hard Byte (Holly's story), Royally Tricked (Gia's story), and Femme Fatale-ish. (Blue's story). If you like a laugh-out-loud Romantic Comedy, this one is definitely for you. Misha Bell never disappoints!

Olive and Oliver!
I don’t know how author Misha Bell does it but every story with one of the Hyman sisters just keeps getting more hilarious and more steamy. This is Olive’s story, she’s a marine biologist, who’s sometimes a mermaid, and very passionate about octopuses. Therefore, her BFF is Beaky, a super smart octopus. Then we have Oliver, who’s also a marine biologist and hot AF. Their meet cute is hilarious and every one of their encounters after that keeps getting funnier and crazier, especially when we add in her kooky family. This was a fun and hilarious read. I also learned a lot about octopuses. Indeed a very interesting animal.
Erin Mallon’s narration is brilliant and wonderful to listen to and she’s exceptionally always on point with the comedic scenes which makes those scenes even funnier. Sebastian York is great even though he only narrates the epilogue. His voice always hit the right note for me.

Quirky fun, plenty of steam
Audiobook: Narrators - Erin Mallon and Sebastian York
Ms. Mallon did a remarkable job of bringing to life Olive and her quirky sidekick, Beaky. I loved Beaky while reading this book, but listening to Ms. Mallon’s fun interpretation of how he would sound made this even more fun. The same can be said of any of the interactions with Olive, her family or her friend Fabio. I just couldn’t quit smiling. And laughing. And falling in love with Olive and Oliver. This has very little drama, lots of crazy antics, and so many laugh out loud moments.
I loved this light hearted fun read with its quirky sea creatures and even quirkier characters, a steam level that was nuclear when this couple broke the rules, and an ending that was total satisfaction. Definitely recommend it if you like all of the above.

Hysterical!
This book had me laughing out loud from the beginning! There is such a quirky and lovable quality about Olive that just makes her irresistible. Her obsession with octopuses, and lack of interest in dolphins, makes her my favorite fictional marine biologist.

Nutty but brilliant plot and characters!!
Utterly insane, nonsensical discussions with her octopus … hooked me in in a few pages!
The main two character are both marine biologists, and the sheer amount of research that must’ve gone into some of the knowledge and inside jokes they share is staggering.
Yet both are gooky weirdos, and Olive especially with her inner monologues and perceptions of what other people or more likely sea creatures are saying had me cracking up often.
It’s almost like the romance was background noise, and that was brilliantly unexpectedly but worked!

Beaky!!!
Just when I need a good laugh most, Misha Bell swoops in with another installment of the Hymen sisters! These girls and their antics never get old! I never learned so much about sea creatures! Olive loves octopuses, and we learned that in other stories, but this one focuses on her and Beaky! Olive needs a bigger tank for her octopus, so taking a job at an aquarium near her grandparents seems to be a good solution. Until she realizes their neighbor and the man she met on the beach to be her new boss! Hysterical, laugh out loud moments with not only Olive's parents and grandparents, but Beaky himself had me smiling through this zany adventure. I love this series not only for its humor, but the quirkiness and originality of each sister! They are amazing! I can't wait for the next one!
Erin Mallon continues her comedic timing in this romcom. I love her voices, she just makes me laugh! Her ability to go from aging grandparent to cranky octopus is incredible! Loved it! And Sebastian York finishing it up is just a treat. Another fabulous listen.

Hard to put down when work interrupts.
I loved this most amusing story. I’ve listened to it, via Audible, and have found impossible to put aside when I’ve been out and about. In my car, watering the garden and sitting at my computer when I should have been doing my job, it’s been a wonderful way to “read” this book. The narrators have done a great job.
