5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, July

By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: No Strings Attached
(Kindle Edition)
No Strings Attached is a laugh out loud,
realistic story. It is about a woman, who gets cheated on and comes up with a
plan for a fake boyfriend to accompany her to her sister's wedding. The main
character doesn't want to come off as still in love with her cheating ex and
will show her family and him that she is happy. Little does she know there is
a surprise awaiting for her that will through her world upside down. This is
such an amazing book and it is one not to be missed. The author, Joanne
Rawson, has a magical way with words that have the feelings of the characters
jump right off the page and into your heart. I found myself relating to the
characters and laughing out loud at some situations. A good quick read, that
will leave you wanting more from this amazing author and I can't wait to read
more of her work.

4.0 out of 5 stars A gem!, July 17, 2013

This review is from: No Strings Attached
(Kindle Edition)
What would you do if you found out the cheating
ex that broke your heart, and who is still convinced you haven't gotten over
him, is going to be at your cousin's wedding? Well, you'd ask your best
girlfriend to find you a date really fast, wouldn't you? But when every guy
asked says no thanks, would you really be desperate enough to take the geeky
co-worker you can't stand as your date? Yes, absolutely! Surely, having the
company of a geeky misfit is better than letting an ex think he's still got a
hold on your heart.
At thirty-three, fashionable and career focused Laura Lee thought she'd never find Mr. Right. She thought she'd found him once but, while she was busy minding her career, a friend (now former friend) stole Robert away. Finding the two of them together in bed was bad enough, but when Robert told her making love with her can be compared to making love to a plank, Laura was devastated. So, when Laura's mom told her Robert was going to be at her cousin Joanna's wedding and he had told people she still hadn't gotten over him after three years, Laura wasn't about to let Robert be proven right. She needed to find a date for the wedding pronto! It was totally unlike Laura to confess to a man she barely tolerated that she'd been unable to find a date for the wedding at such short notice. But when co-worker Adam Ford, with his shaggy hair, out-dated wire-framed glasses, and ill-matched thrift store wardrobe offered to help Laura out, she was just shocked enough to accept his escort. What Laura didn't expect was that Adam, in a tux, with a stylish haircut, and minus the wire-framed glasses, would clean up so nicely. Nor did Laura expect that the man who was usually so silent at work could intrigue her with his attentiveness and conversation, charm her parents and the other guests, and rile Robert to a public display of pique and jealousy. Quite suddenly, Adam was looking like he might be the answer to one woman's secret dreams. In a short 34 pages that are a bit reminiscent of the tone of Bridget Jones' Diary, Joanne Rawson spins a delightfully cute story about a British woman who finally looks beyond the everyday trappings of a male co-worker to really see the man underneath. Once the proverbial scales fall from Laura's eyes, she begins to see that Adam, a man she's always found irritating, is not really the obnoxious, gawky, reserved man she's always assumed him to be. Instead, Laura begins to realize that Adam is everything she's been looking for but was too willfully blind to see. But, alas, since she's read Adam wrong for so long and never looked beyond the superficial, can she really read the signals she thinks Adam's sending her way, or has Lara still got things all wrong? Give this little gem a read and find out. Warning: Contains one mildly described scene of a sexual nature. Reviewed by Angie Just Read... for TheRomanceReviews.com
