Anyone who has ever felt awkward and insecure, with low to no self-esteem, will be able to relate to Joellen, who lives a pretty lonely life outside of her job as a copy editor for Maddox Publishing in New York City. For ten years she’s been in love with and fantasizing about her CEO, Michael Maddox, who she believes to be the most perfect man alive, all while she considers herself to be a loser. When she finds out that Michael is getting a divorce, Joellen decides it’s time to get in shape before the annual office Holiday Party. Cameron McGregor is a star Rugby player from Scotland who has switched apartments for the holidays with his cousin, Kellen – Joellen’s neighbor. When they meet, Joellen’s impression of Cam is that he’s a narcissistic, obnoxious, rude, man-whore, while also being a huge, tattooed, muscular hottie! The two of them unintentionally get into an uneasy, yet nonetheless fun, friendship, and Cam volunteers to help Joellen get the man of her fantasies. Cam and Joellen are HILARIOUS. I laughed so much while reading this story; a story that shows you can’t always judge a book by its cover, you can’t believe everything you read, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you should always love yourself first, and sometimes what you really want and need is right in front of you. I absolutely loved this story.

A wallflower gets seduction tips from a playboy athlete—until love changes the rules.
Socially awkward Joellen Bixby has a date every Saturday—with her cat, a pint of ice cream, and fantasies of the way-too-handsome Michael Maddox. She’d give anything to win over the unattainable CEO of her firm, but how can she when she blends in so well with her cubicle? The answer may be closer than she thinks.
Cameron McGregor is a cocky, tattooed Scottish rugby captain who just moved in next door. He’s not Jo’s type--at all—but the notorious playboy is offering to teach the wallflower everything he knows about inspiring desire. Though a lot of women have rumpled Cam’s kilt, Jo is special. Far from the ugly duckling she thinks she is, in Cam’s eyes she’s sharp, funny, and effortlessly sexy. Now, thanks to him, Jo is blooming with confidence and has the man of her dreams within reach.
Unfortunately for Cam, he’s just helped to push the woman of his dreams into the arms of another man—and now he’s in the fight of his life to keep this beauty from getting away.
