For my eighteenth birthday present, my brother sent me to France for the summer and all I came back saying was oui. “Happy” wasn’t mentioned but if his friend agreed, then I assume he is happy I’m coming on board. Tahoe actually only said, Talked to Carmichael. “My brother is friends with the CEO, and they were happy to have me on board,” I said-which, technically, is true. One day I will have my own business and help people realize their own dreams. My brother may have gotten this job for me, but I’m going to be the one who keeps it and climbs the ranks on my own merit. I hate lying, so I resisted, but I hate being underestimated more. I loathed admitting that my brother got the job for me. I blinked at his complete lack of belief in me, resisting the urge to steal my hand around my waist and cross my fingers behind my back as I said a little fib. “You found an internship at the biggest firm in Chicago yourself?” he asked, shaking his head incredulously as he took in my fashionable pumps, miniskirt, cute little sequined top, and cross-body bag. I stopped by to tell him that I’d found a job and I’d be coming back to work for him when I finished. Nobody in the entire Hill Country believed me, not even my dream employer, Daniel Radisson, head of Radisson Investments in Austin, who refused my application for internship and told me to get some experience somewhere else and come back to him when I was ready. They weren’t the only ones who didn’t believe the news. My best friends, Farrah and Veronica, didn’t believe the news. I would skip this one and go for the Manwhore series if you haven't already read those.I stare out the plane window at Chicago beneath me. It's a standalone so you don't need to read this to know what's happened with the other couples. And he wasn't even adamant about it, and didn't ever give a reason for it.
Just some guy who didn't want to get married. This could have been such a good love story. I was seriously feeling like I was missing pages of material during every interaction between Callan and Olivia because the conversation was that jumpy. It was very stilted and stuttering and the conversations weren't carried out well. It almost felt like it was written by a completely different author.
