Driven to Date by Susan Hatler!

(Better Date than Never series, Book #7)

Career-driven attorney, Jill Parnell, has worked long and hard to become a partner at Corbett, Gray, & Shaw. When the coveted position is given to the boss’s nephew, she does what any intelligent employee would do—attends a colleague’s wedding and schmoozes a high-powered partner at another law firm.

Her potential new boss has only one condition for her, that she demonstrate a personal life that will support a thriving career. Pretending to have a boyfriend is outside Jill’s comfort zone, but she invites the best man to act the part and Ryan is all-too eager to play her significant other. Sparks fly between them, but she reminds herself she’s only driven to date to get back on the partner track.

When Jill discovers Ryan is the lawyer who stole her promotion, her charade threatens to implode. But breaking off their pretend relationship could cost her the job of her dreams. And the more she gets to know Ryan, the more she’s tempted to tame the bad boy, and make him her own.

It's Christmas today!  Or my birthday!  Or maybe it's just MY LUCKY DAY!  Yeah, it's totally just my lucky day.  Susan is the best surprise gift giver.  She never says "Hey, I have a book coming out soon, do you want to review it?"  She just sends it over and it pops up in my Amazon account and then I smile and giggle and read it the first mintue I can.  It's a lovely thing.  Honest.  It ranks right up there with chocolate.

Driven to Date really is a special edition book.  It's a bit longer than the other books in this series which are novella size.  This book is just a titch longer making it novel size.  It was lovely to spend  a little bit more time with Jill.

Jill and Ryan.  Ryan and Jill.  Holy spark flying chemistry, Batman.  Yeah, I like sparks.  Especially ones that lead to kisses.  This books was fun.  Jill really is driven to succeed.  She's got smarts and she is determined.  And Ryan?  Well, he is way more than he seems.  Love him.  It's that insta attraction that leads to delving deeper and finding love.  sigh.  Books like this make me happy.

I love this series and I loved reading Jill's story in Driven to Date.  It is a fantastic addition to the Better Date than Never series.  Content, clean.  No swearing and no sex.  :)
