RELEASE DAY: Man Flu by Shari J. Ryan

Cover Designer: MadHat Books
Release Date: January 17, 2018

Synopsis

I was trying to live every woman's dream, except my reality has been nothing but a nightmare job and a divorce at the age of thirty-two. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, my ex-husband, Rick, moved in next door with his life-size Barbie doll. So, that's been fun.

Then, life pitched me a curve-ball in the form of a retired major-league baseball player, Logan Grier. With his panty-dropping smile, he’s like an expertly photoshopped version of David Beckham, and he's single. Could life be perfect after all? Of course not. As always, there had to be a catch. Logan had a secret, and I couldn’t help feeling like the truth was dangling right in front of my face.

With Rick’s daily agenda of torturing me, Logan has been an enticing distraction, despite the little fact that he’s my temporary employee. Plus, I didn’t exactly care that his flirty behavior may have been a plan to get in good with the boss. In any case, I was willing to toss a few balls with him, seeing as my playing field hadn’t had any action in over a year.

That’s when it happened…my two worlds collided. Hot temp met the ex, and a full-on bromance was born, but that’s only the beginning.

The “man flu” has come out of nowhere and hit both Logan and Rick with a virus they’re claiming to be worse than childbirth. In fact, they’re pretty sure their end is near.

Will the “man flu” be the kiss of death, or will it be my window for an opportunistic change?

Yay! What a fantastic Romantic Comedy from Shari Ryan. This was a fantastic story! I am in utter awe of Ryan’s ability to genre swap. How can she go from “Last Words” to the “Man Flu”? I am in serious awe of that. With that being said, while this is a Rom Com at the root, there were still some areas that pulled and tugged at my heart. 

As a woman closer now to her 40s than the 30s, I can only imagine how I could feel if I was left for a sexy younger woman. I might turn vengeful! So I  felt for Hannah. A single mom who not only dealt with being left for the younger woman, but had to live right next to the new happy couple. Good Lord, she’s a saint for not murdering the m both! However, I completely LOVED Hannah. I saw myself in her sarcastic remarks and witty comebacks.

Ryan portrays what happens in a home when everyone is sick in a home. It had me laughing out loud, seriously, hooting with laughter. Her portrayal was right on point. Men… what babies! So while I enjoyed Logan, Hannah’s love interest, Hannah was it for me. I saw myself in her so much that I couldn’t help but be sad when it was over. Everyone should give this a read! It’s sweet and sexy, heart-warming and a bit cringe-worthy. 

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I will leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
