Extreme Bachelor

by Julia London



      Michael Raney and Leah Klein, main characters in Extreme Bachelor, are a couple in Manhattan, but Michael dumps Leah and poor Leah's life goes in the dumps. She wallows in her self pity and then leaves New York and moves to Hollywood, getting small roles in not-so-glamorous TV commercials (promoting constipation medicine) and landing a role in the new film, The War of the Soccer Moms. Pre-production requires that she go through stunt training and who does she run into? Michael, and he's got a reputation for being connected to a lot of ladies on the set. He tries to win her over; the love and desire is still there, for both of them.

The story is a great second chance romance, you root for this couple, even when danger that comes into their lives from Michael's previous career as a CIA operative. I loved the ending. It was perfect. Also, I loved one of the supporting characters, Lucy; their emails back and forth were laugh-out loud funny. Who knew a dress color was that hard to pick out?

Julia London writes a great book. Great characters and an interesting story made this a hard book to put down. I'm curious to read her previous works and look forward to her future releases.
