Release Blitz: Man Flu by Shari Ryan

Cover Designer: MadHat Books

Release Date: January 17, 2018

Synopsis

I was trying to live every woman's dream, except my reality has been nothing but a nightmare job and a divorce at the age of thirty-two. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, my ex-husband, Rick, moved in next door with his life-size Barbie doll. So, that's been fun. Then, life pitched me a curve-ball in the form of a retired major-league baseball player, Logan Grier. With his panty-dropping smile, he’s like an expertly photoshopped version of David Beckham, and he's single. Could life be perfect after all? Of course not. As always, there had to be a catch. Logan had a secret, and I couldn’t help feeling like the truth was dangling right in front of my face. With Rick’s daily agenda of torturing me, Logan has been an enticing distraction, despite the little fact that he’s my temporary employee. Plus, I didn’t exactly care that his flirty behavior may have been a plan to get in good with the boss. In any case, I was willing to toss a few balls with him, seeing as my playing field hadn’t had any action in over a year. That’s when it happened…my two worlds collided. Hot temp met the ex, and a full-on bromance was born, but that’s only the beginning. The “man flu” has come out of nowhere and hit both Logan and Rick with a virus they’re claiming to be worse than childbirth. In fact, they’re pretty sure their end is near. Will the “man flu” be the kiss of death, or will it be my window for an opportunistic change?

REVIEW

Man Flu was my first Shari Ryan book, but she quickly made me fall for her writing style.

When I first read the synopsis of this book, I knew I had to read it. Every woman has experience with the 'man flu' and I knew that if nothing else I'd be sympathizing with the main character. What I didn't expect was to be charmed while laughing loudly and to fall for the characters as well.

Hannah hasn't had it easy the last year, divorced with an ex who's made it his mission to torture you in all ways he can, she's practically raising her daughter alone, and trying to find success and happiness in other parts of her life - namely her career.

Logan was a fun character to figure out. I liked him from moment one, but I wasn't sure I really knew who he was until much later.

Man Flu had me laughing out loud numerous times, all while rooting for Hannah to find herself some happiness and maybe I hoped for a little bit of revenge on her ex. This book isn't only humourous and full of comic relief - but there's lots of chemistry and a lot of sexy and sweet moments too. I love how Shari Ryan brings it all together into this amazingly compelling read leaving me wanting more.
