RS Grey is on my short list of go-to authors. She never fails to deliver a smart, funny, sexy romance, which makes me break out into a wide grin. This is Dean and Lily's story, and it's a story of two people, who have no idea that they need each other. There are sparks immediately, but they are all not sparks of attraction. The two butt heads, often. Dean is a workaholic control freak, and Lily is a headstrong woman, who will not be controlled. The changes in Dean over the course of the book are so sweet. I couldn't help it! I had to root for these two. The banter the fun, there were zany hijinks, and I throughly enjoyed this book.
Oh, Dean Harper... Seriously, RS Grey can do no wrong in my eyes. She doesn't have a book that I haven't loved and told everyone to read. Dean Harper was no exception. Lily and Dean are different from Jo and Julian in EVERY way. Both are stubborn, hard headed, and sure they don't need anyone. I loved Lily's determination. While she was struggling, she remained strong, but still acknowledged how tough everything was. She didn't seem invincible and I loved that. I love a tough heroine, but I love one who is vulnerable under it all. Its so much more real to me. And, like all RS Grey books, there is a lot of humor. And what do I love most about it? Its intelligent humor. These characters are all smart and their humor is as well. RS Grey doesn't rely on easy humor. These characters use their brains and come up with some clever retorts. Its the kind of writing I wish more authors did. Strong but vulnerable heroines who aren't afraid to let that vulnerable side show; Whip smart characters; Humor that doesn't appeal to a 12 year old boy. So, if you want a top notch rom com, Dean Harper is the book! Its okay if you haven't read Julian LeFrey first, but seriously, if you haven't go read that too!!!
