Publisher Description
A sassy, sexy, laugh-out-loud rom-com between the hottest man never to be tamed and the woman crazy enough to try
Taylor Reed is no stranger to selfish, uncaring CEOs. She was fired by one, which is why she has created her own executive training program—helping heartless bosses become more human. So Taylor shocks even herself when she agrees to coach Bennett Wade, the cutthroat exec who got her unceremoniously canned. She’d love to slam the door in his annoying but very handsome face, but the customers aren’t exactly lining up at her door. Plus, this extreme makeover will give Taylor the golden opportunity to prove that her program works like a charm.
Bennett Wade is many things—arrogant, smug, brusque—but trusting isn’t one of them. Women just seem to be after his billions. So when he hires Taylor Reed, he has no desire to change. Bennett is trying to win over the feminist owner of a company he desperately wants to buy, but something about the fiery Taylor thaws the ice around his heart, making Bennett feel things he never quite planned on. And if there’s one thing Bennett can’t stand, it’s when things don’t go according to plan.
They are a match tailor-made for trouble.

“Smart, heart-wrenching, and wonderfully sexy, this is contemporary romance at its finest. Mimi Jean Pamfiloff pulls expertly at the heartstrings with a sassy heroine and the most compelling hero I’ve read in years.”—USA Today bestselling author Lauren Layne
“Swoony, sexy, and laugh-out-loud funny! Bennett Wade is an absolutely delicious hero—and this book left me wanting more.”—New York Times bestselling author Laura Kaye
“Tailored for Trouble is fast-paced romantic comedy at its best, with laugh-out-loud moments, sizzling chemistry, and a rollicking journey around the world with a sexy billionaire who’s so much more than the size of his . . . wallet.”—USA Today bestselling author Kylie Gilmore
“Pamfiloff’s skilled pacing ramps up the tension and attraction between Bennett and Taylor as they crisscross the globe together, and their consummation feels like a well-deserved payoff for them and the reader.”—Publishers Weekly
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Pivoting away from the paranormal (the Kings series), Pamfiloff adds just a dash of magic to an aphrodisiac cookie from San Francisco's Happy Pants Caf that nudges corporate trainer Taylor Reed a bit closer to tycoon Bennett Wade. Mr. Wade, as he insists on being called, seeks out Taylor for training, even though their first professional encounter resulted in Taylor leaving her job. After that disaster, Taylor picked herself up and started her own corporate training business, targeting CEOs like Mr. Wade who could benefit from more compassion. Unable to turn down his job offer though she's tempted to give him some incorrect training Taylor begins to realize that Bennet's aggressive, goal-driven behavior stems from a guilty secret he's been hiding from the world. Pamfiloff's skilled pacing ramps up the tension and attraction between Bennet and Taylor as they crisscross the globe together, and their consummation feels like a well-deserved payoff for them and the reader. Taylor's brothers and friends are set up to find their own matches as the series matures.

Tailored for Taylor
This book is FANTASTIC. It had me hooked from the first page . Can't wait for the next one.The constant challenge for the couple is like real life its always something.
Another great one!
This book was funny of course, with drama and surprising twist. Taylor's "assuming" was driving me crazy, but I was hanging on to ever word hoping she would see the truth! Keep em coming Mimi!
Laugh out loud love story!
This is the first time I have read anything by this author and I really enjoyed it. This was such a fun read! I laughed out loud many times! The book was well written and it flowed well! Taylor’s inner dialog was a riot and you always knew what she was thinking! This can be read as a stand-alone as it is the first book in this series, however there is a prequel, The Happy Pants Café, which I haven’t read. Loved the storyline that if you ate a particular love cookie from The Happy Pants Café, you would fall in love within 7 days. The set up for this was a riot!
Taylor Reed is beautiful, very smart, loyal, and a foul mouthed fire cracker. She doesn’t take crap from anybody. She grew up the youngest child of a famous race car driver father and an actress mother. Her mother died giving birth to her and she has three very successful older brothers. Tailor grew up feeling guilty for the death of her mother and didn’t feel like she was as successful as rest of her family. Her family loves her and never meant to make her feel like she wasn’t successful and never wanted her to feel guilty for the death of her mother. They are very supportive in their cave man type ways! Taylor was trying to get her business and new program off the ground by training ignorant and arrogant (her experience) CEO’s and upper management on how to treat their employees so they have a positive work experience and would in turn cause better productivity. She had just quit her job for fear of being fired after a confrontation with Bennett Wade when he was supposed to attend one of her training sessions.
Bennett Wade is not your typical rich and powerful CEO. He is handsome, smart, sexy and he is so much more! He is like an onion; he has layers (actually mentioned in the book)! He and Taylor had crazy chemistry! This was not insta-love, it is more like frenemies, there is a lot of buildup, flirting and banter, and the sexual tension was intense!
I loved Bennett and Taylor’s characters! There is a host of secondary characters that are hilarious and I would love to know more about them. Hopefully there will be books about Taylors family and Bennett’s mom! Even though this is a romantic comedy, there are touching moments that tug at your heart!
I am not going to give anything more away on this! There is a lot that happens and your heart goes out to the characters! You really need to read this laugh out loud funny, sweet, romantic comedy. It was a fun read and a breath of fresh air from the more intense reads! I look forward to reading the prequel, The Happy Pants Café and future books in this series!
