There are so many reasons that I love this author’s stories. One is that she always hangs out with millionaires and billionaires, which makes for a fun backdrop.
Another reason is that her characters are eclectic and unique. Never run-of-the-mill, and this book is a perfect example.
An American in London is the basis for this one, and it makes for a fabulous love match. Read my review below.

SYNOPSIS:
Savannah Green has ninety days to turn her blog about the best bits of London into a career―or else she’ll be on the first plane back home to Indiana when her visa expires. She never expected to go viral, but when her post about the planned demolition of a historic building turns her into an influencer overnight, it lands her right in the crosshairs of a ruthless construction mogul.
Cormack Hart is on the verge of securing his position as heir to the Hart Group throne. But when a rising social media account vilifies his latest development project, his carefully laid plans go up in flames. After he drowns his anxieties in a bottle of wine, canceling @londonsavvy is the first item on his to-do list. There’s only one problem: his online nemesis is the same woman he just had a wild one-night stand with.
Savannah might be one of the most interesting, seductive women he’s ever met, but Cormack isn’t about to succumb to his baser instincts. Hoping to convince her his company isn’t the evil monolith she thinks it is, he offers her a mutually beneficial deal: work for him for one month, and she’ll gain full access to the project that helped jumpstart her fame.
Savannah’s nobody’s fool; she knows Cormack is manipulating her. Still, she can’t say no when it’ll earn her enough money to make her big-city dreams come true. With corporate pressures mounting―and their mutual attraction lingering―Savannah and Cormack will have to avoid temptation and keep things strictly professional. Because an illicit encounter or two are one thing, but risking their futures for love is another thing entirely . . .
The London Man by Louise Bay Review
When an author sits down to create a story after the basic plot is developed, come the qualities of the characters. It’s such an important factor to the reader and can make or break a story.
Bay always develops her characters to be ones that the reader loves. Her male leading character, Cormack, is complex, swoony, and really a nice guy dealing with a load of problems stemming from terrible family trauma.
Her female lead, Savannah, is an American in London on a passion project when a chance meeting becomes one hot and spicy romance with a guy she accidentally hooked up with and then interfered with a passion project. Oops.
The dynamics of this book lead us through work life, personal life, and trying to figure out how to move forward through some rocky terrain. It’s a delicate balance with family drama, but a heart that wants who it wants. These two together are on fire and entertaining.
Then Bay kills it with an ending that is absolutely perfect and makes the story. The London Man is dreamy, steamy, and a delight! Not to be missed!
