ER nurse Violet Robinson has had a crush on Dr. Connor Daniels since her first day at Lakeside Memorial Hospital but never believed he'd return her feelings. Connor is secretly attracted to Violet too, but as the single dad of three sons, his priority is parenting, not dating. Besides, Violet's a decade younger than him, and he knows that getting involved with someone at work wouldn't be a good idea. Their age difference is part of what makes Connor so attractive to Violet, however; she had to grow up quickly after becoming her younger siblings' guardian, and men her own age don't seem mature enough to her now. When they're maneuvered into attending their mutual friends' wedding together, Violet and Connor finally strike up a friendship, and it's not long before their friendly running dates turn into something more. Can Connor figure out the rules of dating after having been out of the game for so long or will he mess up their relationship before it even begins?
Connor and Violet's story gave me all the feels and I didn't want it to end! Emma Chase truly outdid herself with this book. Violet and Connor were incredibly likeable, relatable protagonists, and I found it easy to root for them both individually and as a couple. That said, the highlight of the story for me was Violet's sweet relationship with Connor's sons, especially the youngest, Spencer. I loved watching them all come together as a blended family.
I highly recommend "Getting Real" for all contemporary romance and romantic comedy fans. Hopefully we'll see more of these characters in the future! I'd love it if Connor's youngest brother Tim got a story of his own at some point.

About "Getting Real"
Getting Real by Emma Chase is now live!
A sexy, hilarious, emotional, new romance from New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase.
Connor Daniels never thought he’d be starting over at dating square one. His career as a successful doctor, and his three boys, are everything to him. It’s not exactly a setup conducive to a scorching love life—but he’s giving it a shot.
ER nurse Violet Robinson never intended for Connor to find out she’s had a crush on him forever. It was a dirty little secret only meant for her dirty dreams. Her heart trips every time he’s around—and so do her feet.
When Connor sees Violet coasting across the grocery store parking lot—and she falls on her face—he starts falling for the gorgeous, young nurse right back.
Dating can be tricky. And life can be beautiful and crazy and unpredictable. But when it gets real, you discover what matters most . . . and the one person you want loving you through it all.
