And, another one bites the dust!
Quinton is determined not to fall into the "marriage trap". Seeing two of his colleagues fall, he is more determined than ever to stay single. But, you know the universe laughs when mere mortals make plans. What starts as just someone to have a drink, or go to a movie with, ends up being so much more than he ever dreamed. Only one problem. Well, maybe two or three. Vivian isn't just a coworker, she's his best friends sister. And she has a boyfriend. AND...the universe just laughed.
I am so enjoying this lighter, humorous side of Rebecca Joyce's writing.
Can't wait for the next one!

I'm astounded at gow Rebecca's mind works.

She rights dark and chaos mc/mafia worlds to romantic comedy gold.

I loww the change between dark and intense and light and humerous

This series is a delight to read and each book gets better.

Your hooked from page one and still reading at 2am because you can't put it down.

It should come with a warning to not start too late in the day cuz you need to finish in one sitting.

I love these 2 but am impatiently waiting for fitz.

Another 5 star read but I expect nothing less from Rebecca 😀

Another one bites the dust lol. Quinten has given up on dating no relationships marriage is a trap. Vivian a nurse had a boyfriend in love with himself and a brother who’s the boss. What happens when Quinten asks Vivian to the comedy club? From friends to hiding what they feel. Omg I was laughing so hard I can’t get enough of these two and in Fritz , the rest of the doctors and a mad Winnie what are we going to get. Lots of chaos, laughs , jail, and a boyfriend that loves his workout more. If I thought the other books were funny you have to read this one too. Front page worthy lol.

Rebecca doesn’t cease to amaze me! An author that can go from writing something so dark - to writing their beautiful series that will have your laughing your a** off from page ☝️. My face hurt from smiling, my belly hurt from laughing. You have one that thinks woman and dating are “marriage traps” and a best friends little sister who just wants to be seen. What will this little friendship transform into it? Will her brother be mad?! We also can’t forget the hilarious man who** Fitz 🤣

What a wonderful best friends sister, Alpha male, romance story. He decided to take a break from dating and she wants to find her HEA. These two have the same career in common and she is his best friend little sister. These two start as co workers then end up as secret friends with benefits. Will they end up p together or just stay friends.

Enjoyed though not a fan of cheating there is no excuse. Vivian and Quinton's story was lots of laugh out loud moments and I so can not wait for Fitz and Winnifred. I do hope they get together. They are so much fun to read about. Next up is keeping me on the edge of my seat waiting patiently. Another well written story by Rebecca.

I really enjoyed the banter between Quinton and Vivian, and the best-friend-sister dynamic added just the right amount of tension. It’s funny, a little chaotic, and has plenty of sweet moments mixed in with the romance. The meddling friend group made it even more entertaining. Definitely a cute read if you like slow-burn rom-coms with lots of banter and found-family vibes!

How the mighty fall!!! Determined to be a bachelor Quinton gets hit over the head with the love bug!!! Vivian is such a great character but she deserved so much better than that gym rat. This story shows you when it is your time love with hit you over the head and make you listen. Quinton and Vivian got into so much stuff together. Another character I cannot wait for is Fitz. That man is going to go down like a lead balloon. Such a fun read!!

Rebecca Joyce did it again with this series.

Quinton and Vivian. One isn't wanting to be in the "marriage trap", but unfortunately Vivian is there. She has a relationship with a person that loves themselves a lot. When they decide to go out, but not on a date, to not be pathetic Over time it turns into something, but do they want it. Great read.

This series has so many funny moments throughout and this book kept the laughs coming. I always enjoy the best friends sister troupe especially when they aren't wanting a relationship and it kinda sneaks up on them. Quinton and Vivian's characters are great and I really enjoyed their story!

Quentin announces he is definitely single and not going to date for 12 months. Vivien is Julien’s' sister, a nurse at Clinically Approved and currently dating a guy who’s life revolves around himself, his car and the gym, with little consideration for her. What harm can going to a comedy club together do?

Another hilarious story with the pandemonium, chaos and mayhem this group create when the secret affair is discovered.

This one sitting page turner had me in stitches all the way through. I’m looking forward to reading which of the group is the centre of shenanigans next.

[Wendy Smith]

Fantastic read, such a great laugh with all the antics they get up to in this book. I love Fitz and cannot wait for his story, I’m sure it will be hilarious. I absolutely loved Quinton and Vivian’s story ❤️❤️❤️ the once sworn bachelor falls to his knees. All of these characters have their own special appeal which makes these books into a fun, lighthearted, funny read. A definite page turner and very entertaining. 100% recommend this book to everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you will not be disappointed 😎🖤

This series is hilarious, up this time is Quinton and Vivian who is the sister of Julien. Quinton has sworn off dating and Vivian has a boyfriend who likes himself more than anyone else. They go out as friends until one night it becomes more, throw in a bar fight,getting arrested, Fitz and the sheer panic that Quinton feels knowing he has to tell Julien he’s dating his sister and you have one very funny book. Highly recommend to everyone ❤️🖤
