One of Amazon's Best Romances of June!
Alex Turner is never The One—but always the last one an ex dates before finding love—and now she’s determined to find out why in this hilarious new rom-com.
Single divorce attorney Alex Turner is watching reality TV when she sees her latest ex’s new fiancée picking out her wedding dress. Yet again, the guy she dumped went on to marry (or at least seriously commit to) the next person he dates after her. Fed up with being the precursor to happily ever after, she decides to interview all her exes to find out why.
Up-and-coming chef Will Harkness mixes with Alex like oil and vinegar, but forced proximity growing up means their lives are forever entwined. When Will learns Alex and her friends are going on a wild romp through Los Angeles to reconnect with her ex-boyfriends, he decides to tag along. If he can discover what her exes did wrong, he can make sure he doesn’t make the same mistake with Alex.
On this nonstop journey through the streets of LA, Alex realizes the answer to her question might be the man riding shotgun…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Insecurity proves the greatest obstacle to love in this heartwarming rom-com from Christopher (Hot Under His Collar). Divorce attorney Alex Turner has never believed in marriage—but seeing a woman beaming with her most recent ex on Say Yes to the Dress still sparks some insecurities, especially when it leads her to notice a pattern. Her exes always seem to settle down with whoever they date next after ending their relationship with Alex. This realization launches Alex on a mission to understand what it is about her that inspires men to move on to real commitments. Alex's friend Will Harkness has loved Alex since they were teenagers, but she's the granddaughter of his beloved ex-stepmother, and he worries that if he acts on his feelings, he'll risk losing the one person who truly feels like family. Alex similarly ignores her own feelings for Will: he was the source of Alex's first romantic rejection and her pride dictates they'll never get together. But as Alex takes a series of trips down memory lane, each involving a heart-to-heart with an ex, she slowly realizes that her fear of rejection is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Alex's genuine growth makes for a rewarding tale of self-discovery. Readers will be charmed.
