Title: The Wedding Deal

Author: Cindi Madsen

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publisher: Entangled Publishing, LLC (Amara)

Former quarterback Lance Quaid just inherited the most losing team in the NFL. He’s got only a few weeks until draft day to turn things around, and after firing more than half his staff, he can’t do it alone. Thankfully, his HR manager is more than capable, if only she’d stop focusing on “due diligence” and stop looking so sexy while she’s yelling at him.

Charlotte James has made a life out of following the rules. But nothing could have prepared her for Lance Quaid––he’s a human resources nightmare. The man is brash, has no filter, and, as her new boss, is constantly relying on her to cover his ass. Which is admittedly quite nice.

When Lance begs her to join him on a trip down the coast for his brother’s wedding so they can finalize details––on a strictly business basis––she agrees...after they fill out the necessary forms, of course. Away from the office, though, sparks start flying as the team starts coming together. But both of them know anything more than the weekend would be a colossally bad idea––after all, the extra paperwork would be a nightmare.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.

Charlotte is a rule follower. She likes rules. The rules keep her in check. In control. Lance likes to break the rules and he is currently out of his comfort zone. Sure he’s and ex football player, but now he’s the one in charge. Of everything. After making a few rash decisions, he finds himself basically rebuilding the whole team. He needs help and quickly discovers that Charlotte is the perfect person for the job.

Besides his football/owner career being a bit of a mess, so is Lances’s love life. Or at least that’s what his mother thinks. His brother is getting married and he doesn’t have a date, so that means his mother is in matchmaker mode. That is the last thing Lance wants and to avoid all forthcoming awkward situations, he proposes that Charlotte go to the wedding with him. She'll be his date, but she will also be there in a strictly business capacity. The two of the have a lot of work to do. She agrees, quite reluctantly, but they really do have a TON of work to do.

The relationship between them is a slow burn in the sense that even though they both wanted each other, Charlotte’s rules keep them apart. Mixing business with pleasure is not something that she is interested in doing, especially since he is the boss. But Lance sees that Charlotte is a very important part of the organization and he is determined that they can keep things professional, even while they indulge in the sexy times. And there were some really sexy, sexy times.

I read this while on vacation and it was the perfect book to read while I was relaxing. It's sweet, sexy, funny and overall a delightful read.
