My review:
Annie & Liam
I thought these two were great! There were some funny moments that I actually laughed out loud about and I rarely do that. OMG when he was singing to One Direction ~ what a hoot!!
Most of the side characters were great, except there’s always a few of course. Liam was the perfect doting uncle to Legs and she was a great addition to the story. Speaking of Legs I am glad that Annie didn’t have to wait too long to get clued in on who she was. I was afraid that was going to take ages and make me mad, but nope all good. In fact, there was really no conflict between them, which is rare.
So I tagged this one as an office romance ~ boss/employee, but there technically wasn’t much going on in their relationship when they worked together.
I love how the grand gesture was as adorable as the meet cute. I’d be really interested in reading more from Katie in the future.
Narrated by Melissa Moran and Jason Keller for 9 hours and 31 minutes, easy to follow at 2-2.5x. Jason’s voice was great for Liam, but I wasn’t a super big fan when he did other impressions, even males. He gave proper emotion when he was talking about his mom though. I don’t have any complaints about Melissa’s narration.

Save on So That Happened at Booksamillion.com.Book blurb:
I spent the night with a hot, grumpy stranger in an airport hotel.
No, not like that. Get your mind out of the gutter. It was just sleeping. And… maybe a little cuddling.
Long story short, I embarrassed the heck out of myself. But at least I never have to see him again.
Except the universe is clearly out to get me, because Monday morning, I arrive at my new job and who’s the first person I see?
Hot stranger himself: Liam Donovan.
AKA my new boss.
AKA Annie, you are so freaking screwed.
While the HR rulebook doesn’t explicitly say you can’t share a bed with your boss, I can read between the lines. And I need this job.
Which is why I have to pretend that night never happened. Luckily for me, sexy as Liam—excuse me, Mr. Donovan—is, he’s surly, rude and totally not my type.
Or so I keep telling myself.
Because I’m starting to think there’s a warm, gooey cinnamon roll with extra frosting lurking beneath that impressive, muscular form.
I promised I’d never choose between my career and love.
But when a scandal threatens to break, that promise could prove impossible to keep…
So That Happened is a laugh-out-loud funny, swoony, closed door romantic comedy. Expect some mild language and suggestive jokes coupled with tons of chemistry and tension, but no explicit scenes.
