Manic Monday by Piper Rayne: Book Review

I am excited to share with you the new book coming out by the writing duo who go by the name Piper Rayne. Both are best-selling author’s and together they write contemporary romance. I’m always so fortunate to be able to review works such as this.

This story is a fun escape into the life of Victoria, a divorced woman, who is trying to keep it all together, and her wacky friends. Add in a delicious hunk of a man and the temp on your e-reader will start to rise. You need to check out this great read and my thoughts below.

About Manic Monday
The perfect man for me is a charming, sexy, hot as hell lawyer who knows how to negotiate his way into my panties.

#Pfftwhatever

Been there.
Done that.
Burned the T-shirt.

I didn’t swear off all men after my divorce, but I sure as hell swore off anyone remotely like my ex. On the top of that list? Attorneys. Everyone knows they can’t be trusted.

Now that I’ve moved back into my childhood home in Chicago, my focus is my daughter, my mom and me. I haven’t given up on finding my happily-ever-after, it’s just on hold-indefinitely. Yup, life is in a real upswing.

Then I see Reed Warner again, and I’m reminded of all my mistakes. I push him away, but somehow he weasels his way into every part of my life, not willing to take no for an answer.

In spite of my better judgment I can’t stop thinking about the way his designer suits fit his muscular frame, or the way his blue eyes seem to eat me up with every glance.

You know when you’re on a diet and even hummus seems irresistible? Reed is like the equivalent of chocolate éclair and my willpower is fading fast.

The problem? Not only is he a lawyer…

He was the best man at my wedding.

Review of Manic Monday by Piper Rayne

I think I gravitate a lot to this style of writing because it matches so much of the life we have already but yet it fills in what may be missing. I know I’ve read a few of their books before and this one offers up a sweet story with romance, humor, a little anxiety, and a delicious hottie we want to take home.

I think I’m a little hard on authors when it comes to creating their female characters. It’s a delicate balance to find and create a character that is not over needy, but not overly independent either.

I didn’t start out liking Victoria too much in the story. She did grow on me in the middle on as I learned her motivations. But she was sarcastic and almost rude sometimes and it didn’t look good on her.

Reed was another story. He was so sweet, kind and understanding and bent over backwards for her. He has a wonderful heart with plenty of humor and a sexy steamy dream boat vibe going on. Plus he was great with the kids! So sweet.

We also get to meet Victoria’s friends and they are a fun distraction for the stress and anxiety. Plus, we even have some mean moms too! A whole group of wild women that add the levity needed to balance our crazy lives.

This book is a delightful diversion that is well written with plenty of steam, humor, sweetness, and engagement that we love. You can safely add Reed to your Book Boyfriend list too. Yummm!
