Carmen Jenner had me hooked from the very first page! After reading the synopsis, I thought this would be a great read, but it was better than I ever imagined! It is full of snark, chemistry, a sassy heroine and a sexy, sarcastic hero, and plenty of laughs.

Poppy is having a rough time. Her best friend is marrying her ex-fiance, and her bridal consulting firm has the job with Poppy helping. To really rub salt in the wound, she has agreed to be her maid of honor. Yeah, this girl has a heart of go Carmen Jenner had me hooked from the very first page!

Poppy is having a rough time. Her best friend is marrying her ex-fiance, and her bridal consulting firm has the job with Poppy helping. To really rub salt in the wound, she has agreed to be her maid of honor. Yeah, this girl has a heart of gold. Privately, her heart is breaking, not so much because of her douchebag ex, but more so because of her best friend. One night while drowning her sorrows with some alcohol, she makes the dumb decision to go out, and that’s when Leo enters her life again. Leo is her ex’s best friend, and he has made Poppy’s life miserable since they were little. He comes to her rescue, and now he can’t leave her alone. Poppy isn’t sure she wants him to. But, can two people who loathe each other really be harboring some secret feelings for one another? Read on to find out! I guarantee you will fall in love with Poppy and Leo.

The snark and the sexual chemistry between these two are what kept the pages flying for me! I don’t think I’ve ever met such an entertaining couple! I kept waiting to hear what outrageous things would come out of their mouths next. As I write in many of my reviews, I love when a man like Leo, who looks like he will never commit, is brought to his knees. Poppy was just the woman for the job. She is not his usual type. She is beautiful, but what makes her so special is her quirkiness. I loved it! I mean…this woman named her cats Sam, Dean, and Cas from Supernatural. This is a woman after my own heart. Leo is an egotistical, arrogant man, but like Poppy, I couldn’t help but love him!

I’ll tell you how much I loved this book! I was on the treadmill at the gym, and sometimes that drags, but Carmen Jenner made the time fly. I’m sure people thought I was nuts while running because I was laughing so hard!!! Carmen Jenner is a new author to me, but now I’ll be downloading everything she writes.

This book had some fun, laugh-out-loud moments to it, but the best part of it - the part of it that kept me reading to the end - was Leo. I just really liked his character, even when he was fully embracing his man-whore reputation and was so unapologetic about it. There was just something about him that always hinted at a totally different side to him - a softer side. And when he let that softer side show, it was special. And although I loved his interactions with Poppy, some of her reactions to ...more
