Book 1 review HERE.
When Jace Carver snags a minor part in his buddy’s zombie flick, he suddenly starts getting noticed all over the place. Even Hollywood megastar Carletta Ocean—known for her extensive “research” with her male co-stars—wants Jace for her new rom-com. The role could be a game-changer . . . if Jace nails the audition.
As Jace’s agent, Shaylene Kwak is all business, and isn’t about to let her favorite client blow this opportunity. Since their college years, Shay has been immune to Jace’s charm and rock-hard body. But long hours in close company have a way of wearing down even the best defenses, and when their platonic teasing turns into serious flirting, Jace and Shay are no longer able to resist what’s been right in front of them the entire time.
Shay knows Jace’s love-’em-and-leave-’em history with women. She’s not about to be just another notch in his belt. And it’s true, Jace has never wanted more than a one-night stand—until now. But at the end of the line, he’s got a choice: sleep with Carletta and seal the deal, or risk his career for a shot at true love with Shay
My Review:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 Platypires for No Interest in Love by Cassie Mae
I received a free copy from Netgalley for an honest review.
I was pretty excited to hear that Cassie Mae had another book coming out in 2015 because most authors take a year or so to come out with new stuff. I guess she knows her fans are pretty demanding. WE NEED OUR NEXT HIT ASAP. At least that is how it was for me.
I freaking adored "Doing it for Love" the first book in the All About Love series and had a strong feeling that I would enjoy "No Interest in Love." No big surprise, I really liked it. It hit all the right spots. The writing was funny, the characters were relatable and it was all out adorable. Just mushy goodness.
This story is about Jace & Shay, friends/coworkers, on a hilarious unexpected road trip where everything goes wrong. Its told from the POV from Jace which I thought was just great. We got inside the male mind as he struggle through his feeling for Shay because at a young age he had sworn off love. Plus he wants to follow in the footsteps of his hero Barney Stinson, from "How I Met Your Mother."
Yes! In true Cassie Mae fashion there is quite a few pop culture references that are just delightful to read. "How I Met Your Mother is one of my favorite shows." I think it might be beneficial to watch an episode or two before reading this book, but it's not necessary. Plus, I went into geekiness overdrive when a certain superhero was mention. Psst... He's a favorite of mine.
I do want a bring up an issue I had with the cover of this book and by no means did it effect my rating. I was pretty disappointed that Shay's ethnicity was not accurately represented. She is Korean and the cover model by no means would be able to pass. I am a huge supporter of #WeNeedDiverseBooks and did not feel that this whitewashing could be justified. Random House, its 2015, lets get with it.
Now all that being said, I really did enjoy this book and would recommend it to others. I believe any romance fan would enjoy it.
