5 CRANKY STARS


Wow, what a great love story. This writer makes me love her characters. She gives them such depth and makes them loveable. Even the villains are believable because they are so nasty in her books. Emma and Arnie make office romance an Olympic sport with their love hate relationship. And, their boss is almost comical yet, believable as a jerk.


When Emma applied for the digital designer job at Frugal, she was beat out by her ex Richard. Since she had helped him with his presentation, she was floored. At least the company gave her a temporary position on the Bug-Fix team. Her first day, she met Arnie. He played a nasty prank on her and she hated him from that day on. He sat across from her and worked on the phone support team which meant he referred the cases to her. He always had a joke or cruel remark to make.


Arnie met Emma on day one and knew there was something special about her. He was only going to be there a year. After that, he was going back to college in Italy. He loved their snarky little computer comment game and thought she liked him too. Little did he know that she hated him and thought he was cruel. Afterall, he had no idea he had a reputation as the “love them and leave them” heartthrob in the office.


The lead digital designer is leaving on maternity leave and the office needs a temporary replacement. A competition is setup to determine who will fill this role. Emma is shocked when Arnie jumps on her team. The third member is Georgia. When Georgia gets ill, the team is down to two. Now Emma must work one on one with Arnie.


You’ll have to read the book to find out what happens. Sparks fly, family histrionics abound. Will the two of them finally admit they are in love? Thank you, Ms. Vines, for making me love romance novels again.
