A zookeeper always on the fringe learns to go after her wildest dreams-including a certain television star-in this charming and laugh-out-loud romantic comedy by Kerry Rea, author of The Wedding Ringer.
Lucy Rourke has two great loves in her life: the gorilla troop she cares for as a primatologist and the laundry list of reality TV shows she watches to escape the fact that her actual love life doesn't exist. And like a reality contestant gunning for the final rose, Lucy's laser-focused on one thing: getting promoted to head keeper. So when a wildlife docuseries hosted by hotshot TV personality Kai Bridges chooses her zoo as its summer filming location, she sees an opportunity to showcase her beloved gorillas to the world and land a starring role in her department.
When Kai and his film crew arrive, however, it's obvious to Lucy that Kai cares more about sky-high ratings than the gorillas, and he considers her a camera-averse know-it-all whose wardrobe consists entirely of khaki. But she's surprised to discover there's more to him than his rugged good looks and cheesy catchphrases...and that maybe a promotion isn't the only thing she wants. But when secrets from their pasts threaten to complicate everything, Lucy discovers that happiness and success aren't the same thing-and that finding joy just might mean getting a little wild.
Hi, I'm Jordyn. I flew from New York to Culver City, CA to interview for the job of a lifetime.
When I walked into The Bookstore, I only wanted a steamy romance or two to help pass the time before my big meeting.
I walked out with a gorgeous and sweet cinnamon roll who was more funny and charming than all of my favorite book boyfriends combined, which definitely wasn't the plan.
But Mike was irresistible, and the time we spent together exploring Culver City was more fun than I've had in a long time.
But I'm smart enough to know if something feels too good to be true, it probably is.
I mean, Happily Ever Afters are just for fairy tales and romance novels ... right?

Max Boyson looks good...from a distance. But up close and personal, the tattooed hottie Joelle Prima has been crushing on for the past year and half has turned into the prime example of why you shouldn't judge a book by his delectable cover.
When she first learned about the massive renovation to the building they share, Joelle imagined that temporarily combining her Filipino bakery with Max's neighboring bookstore would be the perfect opening chapter to their happily ever after. In her fantasies they fed each other bibingka and pandesal while discussing Jane Austen and cooing over her pet hamster, Pumpkin. Reality, however...is quite different. Her gallant prince turned out to be a stubborn toad who snaps at her in front of customers, dries his wet clothes in her oven, and helps himself to the yummy pastries in her display case without asking.
But beneath Max's grumpy glares, Joelle senses a rising heat-and a softening heart. And when they discover the real reason for the renovation, they'll have to put both their business senses and their feelings for each other to the test.
Playing it safe never felt so risky . . .
Erin Watters is her small town's resident wild child-she doesn't do boring, and after having her heart annihilated, she definitely doesn't do relationships. Her friends have other ideas, though, and when they throw down a matchmaking challenge, impulsive Erin can't ignore it. Even when the annoyingly hot Troy Streiber accepts the matchmaker role . . .
As a rescue paramedic, Troy's used to watching out for people. Never mind the bet he made with his buddy to play Erin's wingman. But the more time he spends with the sexy, charismatic woman, the more he discovers a side of her she doesn't let many see. Soon what started as an innocent game of matchmaking has them both thinking about the person right under their nose. But Troy's a play-it-safe guy, and he won't let a woman who lives for risk ever steal his heart.
Cam DeSantis's life is a mess. How else would you describe losing your husband, your job, and your money all at once? Desperate times call for desperate measures.
So when salvation comes in the form of one intolerable jerk, who just happens to be the starting quarterback for the vaunted New York Titans, she has no choice but to accept his offer as a live-in nanny slash teacher for his eight year old nephew.
Now all she has to do is find a way to ignore him for the next three months. Which is harder said than done.

Calvin Shaw has zero interest in women.
Wait, wait-let me rephrase that. He loves women, he just doesn't want anything to do with 'um. What he needs to do is focus on winning another Super Bowl before he retires.
Problem is, the woman living in his house is a major distraction. And he doesn't know what's worse, that he promised to be civil, or that he's attracted to her.
Kinni Corbet is the perfect bridesmaid. She's efficient and has a to-do list for every occasion. When the bride-to-be adds 'relax and have some fun' to Kinni's schedule, Price Lyons seems to tick all the right boxes. He's guaranteed fun, and it's only for one week-what can it hurt?
Playboy hotel owner Price Lyons has wanted to break down Kinni's walls for years. Her plan to relax for a whole week is the perfect opportunity to get to the one person he's never been able to charm. And this time, she seems . . . receptive to his advances. Unexpected, but he'll take it.
There's just one problem. Kinni's allergic to spontaneity, and the only thing predictable about Price is his unpredictably. There's no way they'll last beyond the week, and Kinni's going to make sure of it . . .

Forced to actually talk, Grady and Olivia realize they can't stand each other. Forget another round in the bedroom-if it wasn't his apartment, she'd shove Grady outside to freeze. But with all the blistering sexual tension flying around, a second night with the hacker might be exactly what she needs . . . if they don't kill each other first.

I live a double life… and no one in my family knows it.
No, I’m not a spy or CIA or special forces or anything… but sometimes it seems like being a matchmaker is nearly as dangerous.
Men and women come from all over for my business, Hound Dog, where I utilize rescue dogs as a way to help people attract and find their perfect match.
Over eighty percent of my clients end up adopting the dogs I pair them with. And ninety percent of them find their “soulmate' after using my services.
Too bad I don’t believe in soulmates. But fact is, that sort of cynicism won’t pay the bills.
Or at least, it didn’t…until Haylee Rogers came back to town.
The only girl I've ever loved. The girl I made a promise to six years ago.
And the girl I ghosted.
Turns out, she's the only living relative of Ol’ Lady Meryl—the delightfully crazy dog hoarder who lives in town.
So when Haylee asks me to help find homes for her aunt’s dogs, I’m powerless to say no.
The problem is, I’ve never wanted anyone as much as I want her.
And a good girl like her would never... and should never... fall for a hound dog like me.
