Recommendation
I’m a huge fan of both Aly Martinez and M. Mabie, so when I saw they were writing a story together, I was all-in. Imagine my surprise when I discovered these two authors who are known for writing angsty, slightly dark romances teamed up to write a Rom-Com! This story is a fresh take on the office romance trope. It’s funny and witty and the chemistry between Shane and Maggie is off the charts. Their flirty banter keeps the story light-hearted and fun, but there’s a little drama and angst thrown in to keep the story real. Martinez and Mabie make a great writing duo and I hope this is the first of many collaborations between them.
Publisher synopsis
Did you ever hear the joke about the guy whose wife cheated on him with his best friend? So he quit his job, moved into his parents’ basement, and gained fifty pounds?
No? Because that wasn’t a joke. It was my life.
Four years later, I'm back with a dream job, a killer apartment, and a set of abs that are better than ever.
So, when Maggie Light, a stunning, snarky blonde moves in next door, and we spend the hottest weekend of our lives together, I think this could be the greatest comeback story ever.
That is until I realize Maggie has moved to town to do one thing—steal my job.
Maybe this isn't a comeback story after all. Maybe this is war—one I intend to win.
What I never anticipated was that maybe I’d rather win her.
Perhaps, if I’m lucky, the universe has finally run out of jokes and I can somehow win both.
