New Girl in the City

New Girl #2

by Rebel Carter

New job, New city…New man?

To the world at large Melinda Pérez is at the top of her game. She’s just earned a promotion to her dream job, in her dream city. Melinda should be living her best life in NYC, and she is. At least according to her social media.

The Diamond Dating League is the newest and most exclusive dating app on the market---because curing loneliness is just one swipe away. It might be the answer to her prayers-- if it weren’t for her driver. Her hot and obnoxious driver who she just can’t seem to get out of her head.

Even under the best circumstances, you aren’t supposed to daydream about your driver. Even more so when he’s eight years younger than you.

Liam Conlon is infuriating and makes it clear he thinks Melinda is a spoiled princess. Never being one to disappoint, she is only too happy to step into the role. But for all the ways they clash there is no denying the tension and attraction building between the two.

But can they find the courage to step out of their roles and find something real with each other?

This is a good story line with Melinda Pérez and her driver, Liam Conlon, proving that age is not important when two people are attracted to each other. Everything is going right for Melinda with a promotion to her dream job and a perfect location to be successful. But we can immediately feel Melinda’s discomfort at knowing how she can’t stop thinking about Liam and how she figures the age difference should keep them apart. Her disregarding the sizzling chemistry will not make it go away. Logically approaching love will also not stop it from happening. Will she stop fighting her own emotions and consider that maybe Liam is right for her after all?

This is a well written book with an intriguing and entertaining story line. The characters are strong and the author does a great job pulling you in and keeping you reading to the end.

This is a well written book with strong, well developed characters in Melinda and Liam. The author does a wonderful job bringing an older woman / younger man together in this entertaining read. They have a steamy chemistry and prove that age doesn't matter. The story moves fluidly with well described scenes and had me hooked from start to finish reading. I enjoyed and would recommend this book.

Melinda and Liam’s love journey went from hostile to hot. I loved how they talked and worked thru issues, and how protective he was of her and his sister. Truly can’t judge a person by their exterior and Liam proved that in spades. It was good to see Mel pat it forward for her intern. The story was great overall but had way to much cursing for me.

A fantastic read about a older woman and the younger man that captures her heart. They come from different worlds, yet these two will come together to have their happily ever after. This is the second book in this Age is just a number series. Their chemistry is off the charts. You will not be disappointed and not put it down till you are done.

Melinda had her dream job but is missing something. Liam is her driver and thinks she's spoiled and they often bump heads. She's older than Liam so ignores the fact that she can't stop thinking about him. They have great chemistry but can they get past everything to find their forever.

I loved the first person point of view of storytelling. I really liked the character of Melinda and her infatuation with New York. I loved the description of the city. This was my first read from this author but it will certainly not be the last. 5 stars.
