Her Rebound Guy

by Jennifer Lohmann

Is she falling for the wrong man again?

Caleb Taggert is exactly what recent divorcée Beck Magruder needs—intelligent, handsome and blissfully uninterested in anything long-term. Her first date with Caleb does not disappoint. Yet after a night of passion, Beck realizes she’s looking for more than just a fling. Saying goodbye to an almost perfect man isn’t easy.

Luckily Caleb offers Beck a deal: no-strings-attached fun, plus free advice for online dating. It’s the perfect arrangement, until Beck falls for Caleb. Suddenly, no other man can compete. What started as a fling has the potential to become something more. But is Beck ready to bet her future on it?

I more or less liked this, though I am sort of mentally dinging it for the clunky way the genderqueer character was handled. (Great that they were there! Very heavy handed exposition!) I thought it was appropriate that it ended on a HFN instead of a magically together epilogue, since it was clear there was still work to be done by the characters. I much prefer when authors don't slap them together just for the sake of finality.

This was obviously carefully-researched and informative to the point of being occasionally didactic, but the chemistry wasn't there between the characters. I keep wanting to fall in love with Lohmann's books and I don't.

Disclosure: I am personal friends with the author.

I'm not a fan of the romance genre, but this one was OK. I snickered at the autobiographical bits that were throughout the book.

Caleb Taggert's a good-time guy, likes women and enjoys their company--as long as they accept his rule: no commitment.

Beck Magruder needs some good time, and maybe even good sex after living alone for a year after her divorce. When her first online date is with Caleb, she thinks she's struck male gold--until she breaks his rule about no future with him. Her change of mind (that she really does want a marriage and children) is exactly what Caleb has been running from. So...she has to break things off with him. What a shock when he realizes that not what he wants, but is he really prepared for what Beck now wants?
