Today we get to hear what others think of this
great little book by Joanne Rawson. But if I were to sum it up in three words .
. .
They love it!

Her Nose is Stuck in a Book
Hello Fellow
Reader’s,
Today I will
be reviewing the newest book from the marvelous author Joanne Rawson. Joanne
has done it again with her newest book, I’m
Your Man, in which she brings her creative story telling using romance,
comedy, and a heroine that we can all relate to in some form or another.
Here is the
amazing summary taken straight from Goodreads:
“Ruth Jones
loves her boyfriend Justin. He is handsome, has a killer body, and the sex is
awesome. He does have one major fault though. He travels so much with work that
she only gets to see him once or twice a week, and that is his reasoning for
always wanting to . . . stay in. At first, she’s happy that he only wants to be
with her, but over time, his habit of jibbing out at the last minute for every
family occasion, work function, or any bloody occasion that involves
socializing, really does her head in. All she wants, for goodness sake, is for
people to get to know her boyfriend. Okay, so she wants them to see she has a
hunk of a boyfriend, but is that so wrong?
When Ruth
wakes up in a hotel room one morning suffering from a major hangover, she tries
to piece the events of the previous night together. Feeling let down by yet
another no-show by Justin at a work function, she headed to the bar and ordered
a drink. The last thing she remembers is sitting next to an average-looking guy
with a nice accent and large hands, and wondering just what those hands could
do given half the chance. When the bathroom door opens and Mr. Average walks
out, she realises that at the ripe old age of thirty-three, Ruth Jones has
experienced her first one-night stand.
A one-night
stand that is about to send her world into utter turmoil.”
Ruth is like
every woman in this day and age, she is in a relationship where she hardly sees
her boyfriend and he is always getting out of things that are important to her.
When one crazy, drunk night, she has a one night stand with a complete
stranger, her entire way of thinking about her relationship and her life turn
upside down. Will she stay with the man that she thinks she loves or will the
one night stand prove to be a better man than her boyfriend?
This story
had such an effect on me in different ways. One is that I am very blessed that
Joanne dedicated this book to me, which I was not expecting, but really
appreciate.
The second
one is the last relationship I had, I hardly saw my boyfriend at all. Then when
he joined the Marines, he told me we would see each other after he got back
from boot camp, which never happened. We never saw each other on the holidays,
hardly ever talked on the phone when he was home, and went a year without
seeing each other. I was tired of getting the run around and having my heart
broke time after time, so I finally ended the relationship and am working on
getting my life to where I want to be.
This story
had me relating to Ruth every step of the way, except I never cheated or had a
one night stand.
I’m Your Man, will pull at your heartstrings, have you laughing in parts, and relating
to every bad relationship you ever had. This story carried the talent and
storytelling genius that Joanne brings to her books time and time again. It
will help you realize how a true relationship should be and will make you want
to read it again and again. If you loved Joanne’s other books, you will not be
disappointed in this one!!!
Happy
Reading,
Ashley
I was born and raised in Texas and have a loving family that has always
been there for me. I am an avid reader and run a blog with my sister and best
friend Alexis. Our blog is “Her Nose Is In A Book”, where we have met some of
the most amazing authors and have several followers. We tell the truth about
any book we read, even if it is a little harsh. We became friends while working
at the Disney Store and have been best friends since. When I am not reading, I am working and
spending time with my family and friends. I have an associate’s degree and want
to go back to school to finish by bachelors. The best thing about having a blog
for me was meeting the wonderful Joanne Rawson who has shared with me some of
the best books I have ever read. I have two dogs that are treated like my
family and I am currently single, lol. If you would like to visit our blog

When
Recruitment Officer Ruth, typically unlucky in love, meets Justin she thinks
she has hit the jackpot. He is definitely way out of her league in the looks
department and never thought he would look twice at a girl like her. He has
everything she wants from a man, apart from the ability to commit! However one
drunken night the stars align and she meets Danny. Desperate to convince
herself that Danny is only friendship material, Ruth does all in her power to
keep her friendship with Danny purely platonic, whilst being given the run
around by the hot and deliciously sexy Justin. Which one should she choose?
Should she follow what her heart or her head is telling her?
Once again
Jo Rawson has come up trumps with I’m
Your Man. It’s her attention to detail and ability to describe characters
and scenarios in such an in-depth way which holds the reader’s interest and
keeps us guessing as to what will happen right until the very end. I really
enjoyed learning more about the characters as the book progressed. I loved
reading this book and would thoroughly recommend it to others who want a good
read.

My dear
friend, Joanne Rawson, has done it again. I have just finished reading her
latest book I’m Your Man and what a
delight it was. Joanne always seems to have me laughing, crying or feeling all
loved up with her witty, comical and romantic story telling.
I’m Your Man is about a very likeable young lady called Ruth Jones who is totally
committed and loyal to Justin, who appears to be only interested in Justin
and it never enters his mind to take Ruth out to nice places for dinner or the
theatre, even to meet his family and friends. Worse than that, she can’t even
get him to meet her own family and friends! Ruth is beginning to feel very
downhearted about her relationship with Justin and tries, without success, to
get his undivided attention. The only attention he is always willing to give is
between the sheets, which at least he is very good at.
Things
become very intriguing when Ruth wakes up one morning with a massive hangover
and finds herself in a strange hotel room with a strange guy, when she slowly
but surely starts to remember, and this is where Ruth’s destiny takes a most
interesting turn.
Thanks
Joanne, for giving me this lovely story that I couldn’t put down by the way.
Response
from Joanne:
Josie is not only a very dear friend, but she is
like a second Mum. I have known Josie for ten wonderful years, although we live
thousands of miles apart now we share emails nearly every day.
When I first said to Josie, I would love to write a
book, she encouraged me and gave me the confidence to do it, never once
doubting me.
Over the
last two years since I have been writing, she has given me constant support,
reading my endless copies of chapters I wrote, re-wrote and wrote again. Proof
reading, offering advice and suggestions even writing a few paragraphs herself.
I could never repay all the time and effort she has given me. Truly a
remarkable and wonderful lady.
