Rachel, Out of Office by Christina Hovland: Review

It’s been a while since I’ve read a romcom aka romantic comedy, but I was glad to break that streak with this upcoming release. It had all the earmarks of a fun story and that’s exactly what it is.

Sexy and steamy with a little drama but plenty of humorous situations, this is one story you’ll want to check out. Read on for my full review.

ABOUT:
Single mom Rachel Gibson seriously needs a break. Between an absent ex-husband, rowdy twin boys, and running her own work-from-home business, her candle isn’t just burning at both ends, it’s a full-blown puddle of wax. She’s the go-to girl for other entrepreneurs, handling all the tasks they dread. Social media posts? She’s got it. Website updates? She’s on it. Light bookkeeping? She loves it.

Thank goodness Rachel’s about to get a reprieve, as her former in-laws plan to whisk her boys away for a summer of fun at the family lake house. But when her ex backs out at the last minute, she finds herself in a pickle. Even though she’s drowning in to-dos, she’s horrible at saying no—especially when it comes to providing some stability for her kids.

Once Rachel arrives at the lake house, she struggles to keep up with work and balance the demands of family, all the while fending off pesky new feelings for her ex-brother-in-law. Which makes her wonder…is falling for her ex-husband’s brother just one more messy complication added to the dumpster fire of her life? Or is anything possible when she’s out of office…?

Rachel, Out of Office by Christina Hovland Review

The author manages to capture a single mom’s drama and her over compulsion to be the perfect mother and perfect business owner. While trying to manage at all, saying no obviously is not in her vocabulary.

There were a few situations that made me just say who in the hell would run their business this way. But the overall feel of the book with the fun humorous situations and her heart-melting brothers-in-law made this book an exciting read.

The author managed to capture the sexual tension perfectly in the story. Rachel always thought she didn’t care for her ex brother-in-law but in reality, he was freaking hot, and once again she couldn’t say no.

Fire up that passion and the sexy situations and you’ve got a story that is tough to put down. In fact, I read it all in one sitting!

The author grabs us with her mom moments perfectly scattered throughout. With family relationships such as they are, and the delicate balancing act of trying to manage a romance with two 8-year-olds, it’s a story you can completely understand and you will find yourself cheering them on.

A sweet, sexy, and steamy story with a crazy lifestyle and a wonderful ending!
