Mantrum: An emotional outburst or an expression of anger by an adult man.

I’ve never understood the attraction women have for an alpha male, until I meet single father, Rex Winters.

Tall, chiseled, and persistent, he tries to avoid a parking ticket by asking me out to dinner. But I know men like him. He’s a repeat offender–habitually getting into trouble and always ready to sweet talk his way out of it.

But his charm won’t work on me.

Not when he’s the reason I’m forced to attend a six-week anger management class. And especially not when I find out all six feet two inches of Rex and his two hundred pounds of sexy muscle will be joining me every single time.

It doesn’t matter how much he flirts, or how attracted to him I am. I’m the girl who enforces rules for a living and he’s the guy who breaks them.

Do opposites really attract?

I guess we’re about to find out.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

I’d just finished reading a rather intense book when I started Mantrum, and it was a perfect pick-me-up. A funny opposites-attract story, Mantrum has zero angst, a hot-headed single dad, and a laidback heroine.

Considering how their meet-cute was her giving him a parking ticket, I thought it was hysterically brillian that Rex and Danika end up being partners in an anger management class afterwards. Where he brings some chaos to her structured world, she calms the storm that seems to always be raging inside of him.

Their story is cute, albeit predictable, and is a perfect book to pick up if you are looking for a romcom escape. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
