Ruby Scott is months behind on rent and can't seem to land a steady job. She has one chance to turn things around with a big audition. But instead of getting her big break, she gets sick as a dog and completely bombs it in the most humiliating fashion. All thanks to a mysterious, gorgeous guy who kissed--and then coughed on--her at a party the night before. Luckily, her best friend might have found the perfect opportunity; a job staying at the lavish penthouse apartment of hotel magnate Bancroft Mills while he's out of town, taking care of his exotic pets. But when the newly-evicted Ruby arrives to meet her new employer, it turns out Bane is the same guy who got her sick. Seeing his role in Ruby's dilemma, Bane offers her a permanent job as his live-in pet sitter until she can get back on her feet. Filled with hilariously awkward encounters and enough sexual tension to heat a New York City block, Shacking Up, from NYT and USA Today bestselling author Helena Hunting, is sure to keep you laughing and swooning all night long.

This audiobook is very funny.
An accidental kiss in the dark leads to a failed audition. Pair this with a lease that's not renewed and a hunk who needs a pet-sitter and you do have a #sizzling #romance / #romcom.

Overnight-Oats gone. No more milk for the decaf black tea. No caffeine for the steroid junky! (My second breakfast has already been packed, a yummy 500ml bottle of saline and a side of 1000mg steroids. Yeah!)

Shaila I just listened to her Pucked! LOLing throughout! ❤ 7y
julesG @Shaila Good, I'm putting it on the list. Thanks. 7y

#Audioknitting
Started yet another book and knitting project. I might need an intervention! For the starting of knitting projects, not the #audiobooks.

Can't sleep. 😶

LeahBergen I always find the starting the most fun. 😆 7y
JenP I wish I could knit. I know how to crochet but can't knit anything more complicated that a basic knit stitch 7y
julesG @LeahBergen I'll keep this in mind when I have to start the second cuff and my perfectionism kicks in. 7y
julesG @JenP You could crochet wrist warmers or socks. I know I have some patterns somewhere. Plus, you can knit an awful lot of stuff with the basic knit stitch, but I know, it's not for everyone. I can crochet but prefer knitting; my crochet blanket is 1/3 done, after 2 years of working on it. 🙈 7y

I'm still stress-bingeing romance and was on the lookout for a well-written, banter-y, funny, sexy contemporary. For some reason, Helen Hunting was on my mental do-not-buy list but this title has been shoved in my face by Amazon since it's release and the premise sounded like me and I was getting desperate so I one-clicked. I'm so glad I did. It checked all my boxes and I especially loved how the relationship grew through long distant friendship.

Chachic I just finished Hot in Hellcat Canyon and found it lovely. It might work for you? 7y
Lissa00 I always stress-binge romance too! 7y

MarriedtoMrT @Chachic I think I've checked that out from the library before but never got to read it. Downloaded it again today but I also finally started Wildfire. Only a few chapters in but so far so good! 7y
MarriedtoMrT @Lissa00 They're pretty much perfect for stress. Read about someone else's problems that get miraculously resolved plus an HEA. Can't go wrong! 7y
Chachic @MarriedtoMrT Yay Wildfire! I'm so glad you're in the mood for it now.🙌 7y
Dogearedcopy I dnloaded it this afternoon; and just finished it! I loved the humor and sex. The answering machine was an odd touch; but whatever! A solid 4-star/-heart Pick ❤️❤️❤️❤️#romantsy (edited) 7y
MarriedtoMrT @Dogearedcopy I'm so glad you liked it! It definitely had quirks (I wasn't sold on the instant illness thing) but the chemistry totally made up for it! 7y
Dogearedcopy @MarriedtoMrT LOL, I did the Bane thing to a guy once: I had a first date with a really hot guy. I was coming down with something so I ended up ingesting copious amounts of cold & flu meds while standing in the shower chugging a half gallon of OJ! It seemed to have worked and we had a great time... Problem was, less than 12 hours after the date ended, I crashed *really* sick and none of the meds worked! 7y
Dogearedcopy @MarriedtoMrT Plus, the guy called me later, really sick too. He was warning me about the bug, telling me to take care as he was sure he must have passed it on to me 🙄 7y
MarriedtoMrT @Dogearedcopy Ha! Now every time I think, "That would never happen" I'm going to remember your story! 7y

I liked this one a lot. I stopped reading her Pucked series because the humor felt immature and too much for me. But the humor in this one had a nice balance. Fun characters. I liked how the hero and heroine's relationship develops. I really hope the best friend gets a book and it's not with her current fiance. This one comes out May 30th.

Just finished an ARC of Sarah MacLean's June book - The Day of the Duchess. It was everything I hoped it would be. Aiming to do a review closer to pub date. Now onto another ARC. I have mixed reactions to Helena Hunting's writing, mostly how she does humor. Interested to see what she does with a new series.
