Audrey by Sean-Paul Thomas

-
Joe just got out of prison and is trying to get his life back together. Because of what he did, he lost touch with his wife and kid. He takes full responsibility, but still yearns to get a bit of his old life back. 

He lives with his friend and works as a builder, but that is not all that he is. He always loved movies and writing scripts. Now that he is out, he wants to write more and make something of himself.

At a local film festival, he meets Audrey. Audrey wrote the script for the movie he went to see and had a small role in it. A one-night stand turns into the opportunity of a lifetime. Before she leaves his apartment she snoops around and finds his script. One thing leads to another, and before he knows it, he is on a way to Paris. 

He has a chance of a different career, of a new start and I just love what he does with it.

It's a different kind of story, the storytelling the plotline, it's very different, but I was pulled right in and couldn't put it down. The writing is very, very good. The way the author describes everyday life and people, it paints a very vivid and dimensional picture. However, what makes the story truly stand out, are the characters. They are deeply flawed, with baggage and pasts, make many mistakes, but that is what makes them so real. They have dimension and depth, no one is perfect here, but almost everyone is likable in some way. 

I enjoyed reading it very, very much and highly recommend it to anyone who likes romance a bit unique. :) Also, this would make an awesome movie. :)

Cat Jones is happy with her sheltered quiet life until her mom's crazy friends challenge her to say yes to everything for a month. Her first response is definitely no, but somehow she is convinced to give it a try. The first thing she says yes to is a nightly swim in the cold sea with a group of colourful characters. Next is to host a very popular daily show along the TV royalty, offered by a hot TV executive. She not only changes her life, one yes at a time but also inspires her two best friends to go along with her. I love this book! I was sucked into the story from the very start and had to read it in one swoop.  It tells the story of how saying yes to life, can change it fundamentally. Cat goes through huge personal growth, finding new friendships, transforming old ones, and new jobs and meets all kinds of people along the way, along with a TV executive who makes her heart flutter.  The story is funny, inspirational with lots of friendships of all varieties and a little bit of

Penny is a teacher at an elementary school. Her mother is spending a few months with her aunt and she is looking for a summer job. She gets a job as a secretary for a gaming company, while her friend is on maternity leave. What she didn't expect is for her boss to be so rude, or so hot. And before she knows it, she is on his private plane and he is asking her to pretend to be engaged to him for a week. Jace is the owner of a gaming company. He is insanely busy, always working. He hasn't been to a family reunion in years. So this year he hired someone to pretend to be his fiance, to get his family off his back. When she cancels last minute, he asks his new assistant to fill the role.  It was hard to pretend at first, but all too soon it all starts to feel very real. They fall hard for each other. It's steamy, and romantic, with a touch of instant love, family time and a whole lot of fun. :) I listened to the story, the narrator was awesome. :)  rating❤❤❤❤ ❤ cover❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ book
