For Jess that means working, trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life and hanging with her brother, who is coming home from college for a month.

Two To Tango by Laura Carter

Brooks was a very young dad and has worked very hard since then to prove himself. He finished school and build one of the most successful gyms in Manhattan. No way is he changing his rules for a flashy newcomer. Izzy is a fitness influencer, in New York to promote her new book. And he is one of her stops. Only he doesn't like her from the very start. It starts as hate but slowly sparks fly and it grows into something more. I liked the story and wanted to love the story, but I found the FMC very unlikeable. I couldn't get into the book or find something to really pull me in. rating❤❤❤ cover ❤❤❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie
