I was trying to live every woman’s dream, except my reality has been nothing but a nightmare job and a divorce at the age of thirty-two. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, my ex-husband, Rick, moved in next door with his life-size Barbie doll. So, that’s been fun.

Then, life pitched me a curve-ball in the form of a retired major-league baseball player, Logan Grier. With his panty-dropping smile, he’s like an expertly photoshopped version of David Beckham, and he’s single. Could life be perfect after all? Of course not. As always, there had to be a catch. Logan had a secret, and I couldn’t help feeling like the truth was dangling right in front of my face.

With Rick’s daily agenda of torturing me, Logan has been an enticing distraction, despite the little fact that he’s my temporary employee. Plus, I didn’t exactly care that his flirty behavior may have been a plan to get in good with the boss. In any case, I was willing to toss a few balls with him, seeing as my playing field hadn’t had any action in over a year.

That’s when it happened…my two worlds collided. Hot temp met the ex, and a full-on bromance was born, but that’s only the beginning.

The “man flu” has come out of nowhere and hit both Logan and Rick with a virus they’re claiming to be worse than childbirth. In fact, they’re pretty sure their end is near.

Will the “man flu” be the kiss of death, or will it be my window for an opportunistic change?

Shari Ryan does it again! Man Flu is one of the funniest books I’ve read in a long time. There are so many laugh out loud moments between Logan and Hannah — and I’ll never be able to think of hot wax the same way again!

The sexual tension between Hannah and her hot-as-hell-former-pro-baseball-player temp, Logan, is off the charts. Neither one of them seems to care all that much about crossing the line to dating… and really, there are so many other lines crossed in this book that Hannah dating her temp is the least of their problems! But through every awkward situation — and they seem to grow more awkward as the story unfolds! — Logan just proves to Hannah over and over again that he’s a guy she can depend on. But because ever HEA story needs The Conflict for the couple to first move past, Logan’s deceit is kind of a doozy.

I loved everything about this book. Hannah’s inner dialogue was hysterical, her relationship with her assistant/best friend Brielle is so relatable, and the nightmare that is living next door to her ex-husband is played out perfectly at every turn. This story is sexy and sweet, and the romance between Logan and Hannah is a slow burn that had me anxiously flipping the pages of my kindle waiting for them to get it on!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
