âHe stares at me for a long moment, studying me as if he finds me fascinating, or crazy. Hard to tell. Finally, he speaks.â âDonât fall in love with me. Iâm not in the mood.â
If thereâs something weâre sure of when we pick up a Jana Aston book, itâs that weâre going to be entertained. We know weâll laugh, swoon, and be captivated by the characters, because every hero this author writes has off the charts swoon factor, and every heroine has a warm and friendly vibe that draws us to them again and again. And then thereâs the heat factor! WOW!
âHe is so into my particular brand of crazy. I donât know why, but fuck it, I donât know why I find his stupid press conferences sexy either. Sometimes you just get lucky in reciprocated lust.â
We couldnât wait to dive into The Next Mrs. Russo. We were in the mood for a rom-com and this book did exactly what it said on the tin. Jana Aston has some of the best comedic timing weâve read. She seamlessly weaves the emotional, the passionate, and the funny without missing a beat, and we adored this book! When youâre feeling a bit down, this is the book youâll want to pick up!
âIf this was a real date, heâd be getting a fake phone call about now. I wouldnât because I still want to make out with him even if it appears we have absolutely nothing in common.â
Twenty-seven-year-old Audrey Gibson has fled her past (what is the secret sheâs keeping?) starting a vintage clothing boutique from her newly inherited brownstone in Albany with her cat Gary and her (where did he come from!) assistant Miller. The banter between these two will have you in fits!
Audrey has been crushing on Albanyâs Governor (or GILF as Audrey likes to call him)â so imagine her shock when his mother sets them up on a fake date! Audrey has no filter, Warren is measured and composed. A forty-year-old divorcee with a teenage daughter, Warren Russo is seen as aloof and stern, so his mother and campaign manager think a girlfriend will make him softer to his constituents. Audrey just wants her plumbing sorted. In more ways than one, and she wouldnât mind trying out some of those naughty thoughts sheâs been having about the charismatic Governor.
âWe all have our fetishes, Warren governing things is mine. Just yesterday he had a press conference that was sexy as hell.â
A fake dating, age-gap romance between a gruff handsome Governor (or should we say Guvânor) of the State of New York, and a scatty, sweet vintage clothing designer endeared us from the get-go! The banter was spot on. Warrenâs dog Duke stole our hearts, Gary the cat was one amusing arsehole, and Andreyâs ânon-assistant, the cheeky teenaged Miller, Oh Em GeeâŚhe was a joy and stole the show! Their work/friendship was so much fun!
âHeâs the kind of dog who looks like he could, in the case of an emergency, single-headedly paw the fire alarm, evacuate an entire building and grab a blanket on the way out the door to keep everyone warm while waiting on help to arrive.â
Sweet, sexy, quirky, and delightfully funny. If you want to put a smile on your face, GRAB THIS BOOK! The epilogue was swooooon! Be still our romantic hearts! We just want to send a message to Jana Aston, and that isâŚMiller needs a book, and Warrenâs hot Hollywood brother, James needs a book also! Please give us more JanaâŚpretty please with sandpaper on topâŚor is that sugar on top?
