More than 3.5 but probably not 4 stars. I really like it, maybe even love it. No 'L' words, super sexy and quite funny. Max Tomlin is a neurotic mess, and Joe Bennett is practical down-to-earth sexy. Fun, easy read.

This was a fun and easy read. I was expecting it from the blurb alone, but the humor in this was some of the easiest I have ever read. It didn't feel forced like other humor books I have read. I wanted this book to keep going and it was sad when it finally ended.Max and Joe were hot together, but it...

On re-reading this, I took it down a star.Anti-heroes need a "Save the Cat" moment and this one didn't have it. I prefer the anti-hero of books like "Stray" where the guy underestimates who he is, rather than the one who thinks he's the bees knees.Characters need a decent goal, motivation and confli...

This was a cute and funny read that had languished forgotten in my overgrown TBR pile. Max is a hyperactive, talented, controlling, creative type who falls hard and quick for Joe. Joe is a businessman who has a calming influence on Max but equal to him in intelligence to keep Max interested. Joe als...

What a DELIGHTFUL story!!I think there are already a lot of reviews praising this story. So I am just going to keep this short. Reading over-caffeinated, narcissistic, advertising genius, arrogant, Max and his journey of falling for the more laidback Joe is a high class entertainment. And since none...

I love "Mad Men" and Don Draper is one my most favorite of television characters. Reading this was like watching "Mad Men" in fast forward. I loved it. How could I not get a kick out of Max. Neurotic, sweet, sarcastic and just all around awesome. He's an advertising genius and he knows it, he just l...

I think you either enjoy Max or find him irritating, and I came down on the side of enjoyment. This one is funny and I was engaged by the inside view of advertising.

This was just a fun story. Max is very likeable even though he comes across at first as an arrogant person, but at the same time very insecure and out of his element with Joe. His interaction and banter with the people he works with was great. There are parts of the book that were a little unreal...
