Halftime Husband: A Grumpy Boss Romantic Comedy (Sassy In The City Book 5) Kindle Edition

Running into a man once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times makes it fate... right?

Unless he is now your grumpy boss who holds the future of your fading dance career in his hands. And you hooked up with him when he was just a mysterious stranger rescuing you…

My life is a hot mess. I’m Dakota Tanner and I speak before I think, I spend before I earn, and I live totally in the moment. Which is why I’m down and out in need of a major life makeover. Cue the hot guy who has it all together and makes my toes curl in bed. Who then disappears before I wake up. When he reappears five months later as head coach of a pro football team he wants a secret romance (aka a no-one-can-ever-know bangfest) while I’m a nanny for his wild-child daughters.

I should say no. But he just might be my one true love… or my biggest mistake yet.

I loved this series and didn't want it to end. Hopefully we will see them all again in the future. Well written book that kept me reading. The ending was abrupt and wish there had been an epilogue but still a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finishing up the series

Fate steps in to continue a story that began with a short story Kindle edition. Probably could have condensed the two stories. She brings back characters from past books of this series which is a nice touch. A few plot holes but the story line flows smoothly. Great dialogue as usual. All in all, an easy read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brandon and Dakota

This is the last book in this series of five friends and their road to find themselves true love. Brandon is the one who previously saved Dakota from a surprise wedding but decided they should let fate determine if they will meet again. Though a series of errors, they do meet but separate again until they finally it right. I really enjoyed this story but there were multiple typos, spelling errors and incorrect word usage. Still highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Beach Read

Okay, so I’m actually sitting in the Arizona desert, but I did binge read this book in less than 24 hours the way most people seem to enjoy bingeing on Netflix (a trend I will probably never understand).

It’s a light story that is not taxing to read. I actually enjoyed reading about a truly nice guy instead of a bad boy and a fun lady who’s happy to be herself. I liked that there was a sports aspect, without having to deep dive into the sport.

Just an enjoyable read, as I’ve come to expect from Erin.

Made me laugh, made me cry, made me remember how smart, and bratty my kids were as a single parent. But most of all, it made me remember what love will become if you let it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as fun as the prologue
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2021

This was an okay read, but not as enjoyable as the prologue novella, Holiday Husband. Probably to be expected, since life is more than the holidays, but I'm not fond of stories where the main source of the angst is lack of communication between the characters.

A cheerleader who goes into the coach's office wearing a very brief miniskirt and no underwear? Is this the image of a romantic heroine? The coach the employs her to look after his children!
There is something very wrong here.
