About "The What If Guy"
A sexy standalone romance with a single dad you'll fall hard for!
It should be an easy rule to follow - don't bang your boss...
But I didn't know who he was when I met him.
And the first time I saw him, our connection sounded like the stuff of romantic legends -- that whole "their eyes locked across a crowded room" moment that turned into more. I didn't believe it. . . . until it happened to me.
Fine, the charming, clever, sexy-as-sin guy in the tailored suit was only trying to buy the same Snoopy lunchbox (as a gift!), but still, our eyes totally locked, and my lady parts definitely tingled as we vied for the prize.
Naturally, I did what any badass business woman would do. Negotiated for the lunchbox, then found my what-if guy online and made plans to see him the next night.
One night only -- that was the deal we made.
But one fantastic night had us both changing our minds in the morning. And making plans for another.
Until I walked into the office to learn he just bought my company.
And here's the biggest rule of romantic legends -- no matter what, don't bang your boss.
Especially if you're already falling for him.
THE WHAT IF GUY is a sexy standalone you can escape into! The other standalone romances in The Guys Who Got Away series include DEAR SEXY EX-BOYFRIEND and THANKS FOR LAST NIGHT.
My Review
I loved "The What If Guy" by Lauren Blakely, a funny, sweet, and charming story with some definite heat and fantastic banter between main characters Bryn and Logan. I especially enjoyed the unexpectedly quirky addition of chapters narrated by their cats, which made me laugh out loud and ended up being some of my favorite parts of the book.
It was easy for me to empathize with the dilemma Logan and Bryn faced in regards to dating after they learned that they would be working together. It's sad but true that Bryn would have been judged more harshly than Logan for the relationship simply because she was female, so IMO her fears regarding going public were completely justified. However, I really appreciated that the topic was addressed and that Bryn and Logan made the effort to go about things the right way rather than sneaking around and hoping for the best.
In addition to the central romance between Bryn and Logan, it was great to catch up with Logan's twin sister Summer and her fiance, Logan's best friend Oliver, as well as their mutual friend Fitz. Pro hockey player Fitz is such a charming rogue and I can't wait to read his story in just a few weeks!

Overall, "The What If Guy" was yet another wonderful read from Lauren Blakely, and I highly recommend it for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy.
