Better Than Josh Everton Club Series by Ava Munroe

Everything in my world has its place. Except Holden Wynn. I believe in the sacred power of a color-coded planner, which is why I excel at what I do. But coordinating desk arrangements and spelling tests aren’t too impressive in my family of overachievers. When my elementary school faces an enrollment problem, I finally know how to make my mark: reno the old gym field, throw a massive school spirit rally, bask in small town glory. My plan was excellent! Its execution, however, was not... moreEverything in my world has its place. Except Holden Wynn. I believe in the sacred power of a color-coded planner, which is why I excel at what I do. But coordinating desk arrangements and spelling tests aren’t too impressive in my family of overachievers. When my elementary school faces an enrollment problem, I finally know how to make my mark: reno the old gym field, throw a massive school spirit rally, bask in small town glory. My plan was excellent! Its execution, however, was not. I need help to pull this off, and I’m forced to accept it from the PTA. I’d love the organized housewife or enthusiastic grandpa. Instead, I got the only ex-football player who counts treasury funds. And this single dad’s favorite game plan? Bucking my leadership and getting under my skin. When school enrollment numbers face a new hit, we’re forced to see more of each other. When we trade insults, I let Holden know I’d like to sock him in the face. He winks and says he’s kinky enough to like that. The project is heating up, and so is the fire between us. I don’t have room in my master plan for any man, but falling for a guy like Holden? It doesn’t take a chemistry teacher to know that’s an explosive idea. less

Ava Munroe sizzles in this Luke Danes and Lorelai Gilmore-inspired friends to lovers romance. Chef Enzo Barone is the hot thing they warn you about when they tell you to stay out of the kitchen, but I always intended to give my boss his distance. Unfortunately, FedEx tempted fate when it sent *that* special toy box to the restaurant instead of my house... moreAva Munroe sizzles in this Luke Danes and Lorelai Gilmore-inspired friends to lovers romance. Chef Enzo Barone is the hot thing they warn you about when they tell you to stay out of the kitchen, but I always intended to give my boss his distance. Unfortunately, FedEx tempted fate when it sent *that* special toy box to the restaurant instead of my house. Still, I was determined to keep chill vibes (er, no pun intended) between me and my boss now that he’d seen a little too much of my private life. I promised my friends I would stay man-sober for a year, and I meant it! I’m definitely not tempted by the fiery bosshole with tatted arms and a dimpled chin. Not into the protective brother who gave his runaway sibling a better home. Won’t fall for the delicious, grumpy man who swore off relationships for the exact opposite reason from me—because he 100%, definitely doesn’t believe in love. Then one steamy “no strings attached” rooftop encounter later, and I’m relapsing. I’m Enzo’s employee. I’m a single mom with baggage. And I’m head over heels for the man who is only prepared to offer a taste, when this love addict is desperate for the whole meal. How can I convince Enzo this fire between us is the real deal—not a flash in the pan? less
