A sexy symphony of laughter, banter, charm, steam, and entertainment!! Kristen Callihan delivered a love story that hooked me right off the opening pages. From her witty and smart dialogue, readers will be smittened with Sophie Darling and Gabriel Scott.

As much as I enjoyed Idol, I loved Managed. This book was fresh, smart, funny, and wildly entertaining. There was never a dull moment with this read as Callihan sophisticatedly layers the brewing love connection of Gabriel and Sophie with raw emotions and vulnerabilities. I loved that how Callihan allowed readers to see behind the facade and laughter as two characters search and look for the same thing. LOVE.

Sophie was a fresh breath of air. She was the reason why I couldn’t put this book down. Her inner monologue was hilarious and witty. Trust me, it won’t take you long to fall in love with her and wish she was your new best friend. And as for the hero, Gabriel, what can I say but this British lad doesn’t need to beat down your door in order for you to let him in. The way Callihan presented and brought together Sophie and Gabriel was a riot of entertainment. I loved how they interacted and balanced one another.

I honestly don’t want to say much on the story since I don’t want to ruin the fun of the story line but I will just say that Callihan did an amazing job highlighting and weaving important aspects of family, love, trust, and second chances. She did it with such finesse that readers can’t help but to give their literary hearts to her as she douses so much fun laughter, sass, and sexiness. The writing was smart and smooth that everything flowed at an excellent pace. So if you are looking for a love story that was a perfect blend of charm, laughter, and romance then Managed is definitely the book for you.
