Review: Just Want Somebody To Love by Keri Ford

His business is her pleasure…

Swept off her feet by a charming restaurateur, Whitney Chester envisions a delicious happily ever after—until her prince turns into a total toad. There’s no way she’ll agree to another date with Justin Rawlings, despite their unforgettable night together. But when Justin insists on helping out on her family-run farm in exchange for another chance, it’s an offer Whitney can’t refuse… if only to get revenge on her sweet-talking suitor.

Justin needs a girlfriend to prove to his business partner that he isn’t all work and no play. Romancing Whitney should have been pure pleasure, if a work conflict hadn’t caused him to stand her up. Now he’s determined to win her back—and win his partner’s approval of their restaurant expansion. Keeping Whitney by his side until the deal closes should be easy—if he doesn’t do something foolish. Like fall in love with the small town beauty…

Terri's Thoughts

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in return for an honest review.  The expected publication date is October 13th 2015

This story starts off fast with a hot and heavy attraction and "hook up" and is then followed by the real story.  A little bit like real life right?  You make an impulsive decision and then you have to live with the consequences.

As the synopsis suggests, Justin isn't purely on the up and up when it comes to his relationship with Whitney.  This made it a little difficult to warm up to him.  I am not sure I really did by the end.  It was clear that his chemistry with Whitney was off the charts.

I like reading about small towns and small town life.  It remind me of my childhood and teenage years and I think that is part of the appeal for these types of stories.  People who have been friends forever and everyone want's to know your business.  You get a little nostalgic for things like that when you are no longer in that environment.

Overall an entertaining short read!
