DEAR JANE
An Animal Attraction Novella
Marissa Clarke
Releasing January 9th, 2017
Entangled Lovestruck
Jane Dixon is a dating disaster. Flammable tablecloths
and broken arms are just a typical evening for her unlucky companions. No
wonder Jane never gets past a first date. But luckily her co-worker and new bff
says he’s got loads of friends who’d date her more than once. If only she could
stop thinking about how much fun he was to hang out with. And she’d never
dropped a bucket of ice on his junk. Win.
All attorney Eric Blackwell has to do to make junior partner is not screw anything up for six weeks, which seems like a slam dunk until he finds himself matchmaker to the office “One Date Wonder” aka the boss’s daughter. It’s hard to stay focused when setting up the hottest girl he’s ever met with everyone but himself. Maybe he could just set her up with all the wrong men, and keep his hands off his new friend… Yeah. His promotion is toast.

Review
What interested me about this story
was the fact that the main character, Jane, couldn’t get past a first date. I
wanted to know what was so bad about her that guys wouldn’t take a chance on
another date.
The first things I noticed when I
began to read is the point of view was in third person. I do prefer first
person but it did fit this story. You are able to get more of an outsider perspective
which is needed in this novel. What I really liked that Marissa did with her writing
was the play on Eric’s feelings by combining them with his interest in
crossword puzzles. It was very inventive for the answers to match what Eric was
feeling at the time.
The author also did a great job
of building the characters friendship with Friday night movie nights but I felt
like I needed more. More of them getting to know each other and a greater
connection of friendship. What was great between Eric and Jane was their sexual
chemistry. The intimate scenes were written well. Their sexy banter was funny
with how the author wrote them with legal terminology to show how they shared
their career of being lawyers.
With a little over a hundred
pages, Dear Jane is a sweet quick read. I liked the message I took from it
being that the way we perceive people is not always spot on.

Playing house just got real…
When Joya
Bennett wakes up after her brother’s wedding, half-naked and lying next to her
lifelong crush, she’s mortified. OMG, did she try to jump his bones? Worse, did
she succeed? Intending to lay low and housesit for her brother until the
embarrassment fades, she sneaks away before he wakes up.
What she
didn’t plan on is having company.
Lincoln
Fisher doesn’t do relationships, but if he did, his friend’s little sister
would be the one to tie him down. Good thing Joya had one too many drinks
during the reception or he’d have crossed a line. Her brother
would kill him if he found out all the places Linc wanted to kiss the
sexy, auburn-haired beauty.
And now
they’re stuck in the same house. For two weeks.
She’s
off-limits. And he needs to keep it that way, even if the heat building between

Review
The intro in this novel hooked me.
Joya wakes up in bed with her brother’s best friend. She doesn’t really know
what went on the night before but she’s had a crush on Linc for many years.
This is a juicy beginning that leaves readers wanting more.
I loved that the book was written
with both, Joya and Lincs’ point of view. Getting into both the female and the
males mind always makes the story more personal by getting both perspectives. I
loved their relationship and the course it took for them to get to know each
other. They found each other’s good qualities and quirks. Boone Brux created
well thought out characters and a world for them to exist in that was original.
There wasn’t some great obstacle between
them just a choice to want to be with each other, but that was ok with me. It felt
more real. Something that could be an issue with a couple. A life choice of whether
a relationship is worth the hassle. This was a great romantic novella. It was
short but had great characters and a great story to devour.
