Business Not As Usual by Sharon C. Cooper: Review

I got to review an upcoming book this week that truly showcases two people from totally different places find happiness in each other. We see and read many books where opposites attract. This author takes it to a different level and viewpoint.

Check out my thoughts below on this refreshing and humorous take on a romance with a different spin by a new to me author.

OVERVIEW
I am beautiful. I am confident. I am lovable. I am a lottery winner.

This is the mantra that will get Dreamy Daniels through each day until she makes it big. So what if she lives in a seedy part of Los Angeles in a house that’s one earthquake away from crumbling, or works an unfulfilling secretarial job while struggling to finish her bachelor’s degree? All Dreamy needs to do is win the lottery, which she’s been entering in as a weekly tradition with her grandfather. When she catches the attention of her boss’s potential investor, Dreamy has to remind herself to focus on her career goals so she can be her own boss. Who cares if he has the social grace of the Duke of Sussex and the suaveness of Idris Elba? No distractions allowed.

Growing up with a father who is an A-list actor and a socialite mother, venture capitalist Karter Redford lives in the world of the rich and famous. Instead of attending movie premieres, however, he prefers spending his time helping the less fortunate, backing start-up companies and investing in cutting edge ideas. Karter is used to his life revolving around work, but when he decides he wants someone to share it with, he falls for someone his mother would never approve of: hilarious, quirky Dreamy, who has goals of her own…but also isn’t a wealthy, upper-crust socialite. Though it’s clear they’re from different worlds, their relationship might just be his greatest investment yet.

Business Not As Usual by Sharon C. Cooper Review

This story offers a funny and realistic take on the life of an average gal slugging away at a job that is hated, just trying to make it by. I recognized myself a few times in Dreamy’s predicament!

Cooper created two fantastic characters with style and grace, that are kind and caring individuals, perfect for each other. I had fun with this story, the visualization is on point here! Dreamy’s wild wardrobe could be a story on its own. But sometimes her mantra got to be a bit much, until it wasn’t!

Karter is a dreamboat and the author balanced the pair beautifully while crafting a story that is rich and flavorful, romantic and sexy. Each is powerful in their own right and super supportive.

Business Not As Usual is a how-to guide to juggling all life throws at you while working and creating a business, plus falling for the right person to help carry the load with you. Flirty, fun, and fresh!
