I should’ve worn underwear that day.
I’d have far less hate mail in my inbox. I’d also still have a job.
But I didn’t wear underwear. And I had a wardrobe malfunction on a livestream.
So now I’m the proud owner of the internet’s most famous… you know.
The good news? I’ve been invited to hide from my sudden infamy at a closed winery with other women who’ve suffered their own five minutes of shame.
The bad news? The winery has a live-in handyman.
A competent, compassionate, patient, sexy, single dad handyman.
Whom I met when I punched him in the face.
Accidentally, of course. But I still get why he’s happy keeping his distance from me.
But when we find out the winery that’s saving my life is in danger of foreclosure, he and I become accidental partners.
No big deal, working with a guy that I’m falling harder for each day.
I’m already the internet’s favorite punching bag. Why not add an unrequited crush to my life?
But what if it’s not unrequited after all?

ARC/ALC REVIEW
You know that saying about being a fly on the wall … I would give a lot to be “a fly on the wall” inside Pippa Grant’s brain for like 24 hours. My gawd, the things I would experience! Amirite?! The woman’s imagination holds no bounds. Zero. Zilch. She is as unpredictable as she is steadfast and I am here for all of it! Or at least I have been as of late! My relationship with her humour did not start of well many many many moons ago, but she has since converted me into a super fan and again, here for all of it. I say unpredictable and steadfast because she manages to always surprise the heck out of me with the totality of her stories but at the same time, she is steadfast in the greatness of her stories. I used to think you had to be “in the mood” to really appreciate her stories but no, there’s no mood you have to be in because they are perfect for all the moods!
This story was outrageous fun. Like I’m pretty sure there were no moments where I was not at least smiling. It is such a joy to get lost in her words! Her stories are so inventive yet not so far fetched from the real world. Sure, some circumstances could be seen as being “out there” but yeah, no, you can still imagine it happening in real life and that in and of itself makes me giddier!
One aspect of this story that I really enjoyed was how real and relatable the circumstances were in today’s society. The internet is a tricky beast and putting yourself out there can have a double edge to it and this story highlights that very thing really well. It shines a light on the perils of “internet fame” and how easily that house of cards can flip. I was also happy the Heath had his own real life circumstances to navigate although at one point I thought it might have been a bit much LOL The hits kept coming for him and while I do like the realism in that, I think Heath could have used a bit less “realism”, if you feel me! However, when it came to Heath and Cricket and their growth as individuals and as a couple, I liked that they both had a pretty big package to carry, if that makes sense.
I had the opportunity to both read an ARC and listen to an ALC of this story and let me tell you, a good time was had by all doesn’t even begin to describe the mood this story put me in! They landed at the same time, so I did more of a listen rather than a read and honestly the absolute immersive experience I got from listening to this full cast was so epic I couldn’t have stopped listening even if I wanted to! Gregory Salinas was an absolute perfect voice for Heath. I didn’t know what to expect from Kristyna Zaharek because I hadn’t even heard a sample of her work before this and not only did I love her performance as Cricket, but I must stalk her and find other audiobooks she has narrated asap! Rounding off our cast are Stella Hunter & Samantha Brentmoor both powerhouses in their own right! These two ladies are always A++ and together with Gregory & Kristyna they elevated an already very entertaining story to levels I can’t even explain. A good time was had by all I say! If you’re an audio junkie, this is an audiobook you want to invest in! #trust
