Thank you to Berkley for gifting me a review copy of Not That Kind of Guy by Andie J. Christopher.
I was really interested in the premise of this book and I love a good office romance, but the beginning of the book felt really rushed. There was no tantalizing build up between the two main characters. Instead, they met, started working together, then the story jumped to the end of the summer and the conclusion of their work project and they were suddenly hot for each other.
Then, out of nowhere, they go to Vegas together (and I don’t consider this a spoiler because it’s in the synopsis) and get drunkenly married. The whole thing was incredibly cliché and predictable, which was disappointing. This was compounded by the fact that I really, really liked all of the characters (main and supporting), so I wanted more from the story than I got. I could even see some of the other characters spinning off into a whole series…if only future stories have better pacing, build-up and depth.
I did still enjoy the book quite a lot, I just think it could have been AMAZING with a little rework. You can grab a copy and decide for yourself by clicking the button below.
Synopsis:
An office attraction becomes something more when they're off the clock in this delightful romantic comedy by the USA Today bestselling author of Not the Girl You Marry.
State attorney Bridget Nolan is successful in all aspects of her life--except romance. After breaking up with her longtime boyfriend, she's been slow to reenter the dating scene. To be honest, she has more important things to do like putting bad guys behind bars. But with her brother's wedding right around the corner, she suddenly needs a date and fast. Lucky for Bridget, the legal intern is almost done with his program.
Matt Kido is dumbstruck by Bridget--total love at first sight--but there's one problem. She's totally off-limits while she's his boss. But the moment he no longer reports to her, Matt asks her on a date. An impulsive decision takes them to Las Vegas where, as the saying goes, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
Unless you put a ring on it.
