Publisher Description
When Sam is stuck sharing the streets for Chicago’s summer festivals with a man she can’t stand, she’ll find it’s often a bumpy road that leads to love….
As office manager of the city’s leading luxury boudoir and pinup photography studio, lovable grump Samantha Sawyer has everything under control. With an eventful summer season on the horizon, Sam is balancing a hectic workload while preparing the Buxom Boudoir “Photobus,” a vintage coach bus converted into a mobile photobooth and meeting space, to make the rounds at Chicago’s bustling summer street festival roster. Sam’s busy schedule makes avoiding the difficult parts of her life much easier, but there’s one person who can see right through her to-do lists and icy façade, really see her.
A lot has changed in the last year for Russell Montgomery. Years of odd jobs and couch surfing around the country had left him scrambling, but after reconnecting with his brother, Reid (and coming as close to settling down as he’s ever been), Russ now works at a hot local restaurant. Russ has been welcomed into his newly engaged brother’s circle of friends—all except a close friend and coworker of Reid’s fiancée, an intriguingly stormy woman named Sam.
Luckily, Sam is certain that the chaos of her calendar will ensure their distance, and she won’t have to deal with Russ or his irritating, handsome smile. But when Russ is charged with the launch of a restaurant food truck for the festival circuit, the sizzling Chicago heat is no match for the fire between them….
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jackson's dynamic and admirably inclusive sequel to The Accidental Pinup brings readers back to fashion studio Buxom Boudoir. Usually self-assured burlesque dancer Samantha Sawyer is in the midst of a crisis of confidence following her diagnosis with Graves' disease and subsequent thyroid surgery that left her metabolism "essentially nonexistent." To distract herself, she throws her all into her career as Buxom Boudoir's office manager—but equally distracting is aspiring chef Russell Montgomery, the brother of her best friend's fiancé. Russell is a dreamboat and a total flirt—a dangerous combination. Both on the verge of big career opportunities, they decide to limit their romance to just one summer. With the pressure of commitment removed, Sam's barriers break down—but what happens when their summer fling sparks serious feelings? Jackson's sophomore novel has all of the charm of her first, and while returning fans will be delighted to check in on characters they've met before, this works equally well as a standalone. The author makes Samantha's journey to self-acceptance as her body changes achingly endearing. Surrounding its charming protagonists with a group of friends worth revisiting, this adorable rom-com has got the goods.
