Flirting with the playboy
Fun, sweet story.
3.5 out of 5
Could benefit from a once-over from a professional editor as typos and mis-spellings distract from becoming engrossed in the storyline.
Bennet, an apparent flirt and playboy works with Charlie with whom he has had an ongoing hate-love relationship. When Charlie catches her current boyfriend cheating on her with a waitress and then via an online dating app, Bennett connects with her on the same app and consoles her. From there he shows his truer nature of being east-to-get-along -with, caring, protective and concerned. When a mis-communication mishap suggests he also has been cheating, she gets understandably upset. He’s willing to do something big to convince her of his love. I never understand people (or, rather, characters) who so readily jump in bed with each other without any understanding of where their relationship is standing, let alone make it a focus instead of purposefully and intentionally growing their relationship, as if somehow the future happens by happenstance. And then wonder, when sex is the foundation of the relationship, what went wrong. But it is a book, not reality. If you are a reader who appreciates written imagery (slapstick, descriptions of people tripping…) then you might appreciate the humor. Parts stretched the realms of reality - why would a moderate sized real estate group require two receptionists - that go on breaks at the same time no less - or choose a receptionist to head up their new branch?). The writing, however, was solid and I liked both characters and was rooting for them.
