Hot for His Girl

I loved Heart Stronger, but Hot For His Girl is top on the list as well. This author knows how to write lots of emotion, but also lots of humor. We meet Andi, who is a snarky blogger after trying to be the mom blogger didn't work out. She is anonymous, but makes enough money to be able to be at home with her little girl. Reid is a statistics teacher by day and a shirtless blogger by night.The blog started off as a joke, but he has come to love writing for his blog. He stumbles upon Andi's blog when he's trying to decide to go anonymous. Little does he know, she's actually the woman he ran into when her daughter came trick or treating on Halloween. Hot For His Girl sucked me in right away and I loved how much humor this book had. Between the blog posts and Andi's thoughts, this book had me laughing out loud. This book also gave me all the feels. I'm not a mom, so I can't understand what Andi went through, but I could understand she has a hard time trusting men. Andi's daughter is the sweetest and I loved that she played a bigger part in the book. In a lot of romances the kids are mentioned and that's about it. As a single mother, it's only natural that Gabby is a big part of her life. Her friend Leona definitely completed this story. Reid seems like the sweetest guy. He feels an instant connection to Andi and doesn't want to let her go. Reid knows that Andi and her little girl are a package and that doesn't bug him at all. It was nice to see the guy insecure about a relationship as well. In these books it's normally only the woman who has her insecurties. Their romance starts off nice and slow and I love how it builds up. Even though this romance is pretty predictable (then again, what romance isn't?), I couldn't put this down. I finished this book with a smile on my face and was sad it was over. Hot For His Girl is a nice change from romances with all the angst. If you're looking for a sweet romance with lots of humor and sexy moments, I definitely recommend Hot For His Girl.

It basically has my name written all over it. Plus, Rachel is an author who I'd been thinking about reading for quite awhile now, so it all just worked out. I thoroughly enjoyed Andi and Reid's story and I look forward to reading more from Rachel soon. But, back to Hot for His Girl now. I really liked both Andi and Reid. Would I ever run a "mean" blog like Andi's? Absolutely not. Did I appreciate her snark and calling out the less-than-truthful bloggers out there? Heck yes. She had a great perspective on things. And I could totally understand why she started this particular blog, given the way members of the community treated her in the past. Reid was super freaking swoony and his blog, Grill and Groom, on which he posted videos of him grilling shirtless and talked about grooming, seems like an entertaining blog. One both men and women would find satisfying, if for different reasons. 😉 Of course, things got a little complicated here because Andi and Reid met in real life while they were emailing, in a non-romantic way mind you, and Andi was the only one who knew the truth. I had to know it would cause problems with their budding relationship once he found out. But, I'm not going to get any further into that. You can find out what happens for yourself. Just know it's a really good story. I loved the romance, the maturity of the characters and conversations they had, and the characters overall. Oh, and Andi's daughter, Gabby? Flipping adorable. I loved the connection between her and Reid nearly as much as I did the romance between Andi and Reid. Hot for His Girl was a great introduction to Rachel's writing. I didn't want to put this book down once I picked it up. It was part rom com, part swoony romance, with just a bit of angsty feels mixed in. I've never read a book where both the hero and heroine were bloggers, so that was unique to me. As a blogger myself, I found some of the blogging-focused tidbits really interesting. I guess I never thought about just how much blogging becomes part of who you are, even if you're not in the big leagues like Andi or Reid. But, I digress. This was a great read. FAVORITE QUOTES Here's the thing most people don't get. For us, the people of the web, relationships made behind the screen are the closest thing we have. We live in and on our devices. This is the second time I've equated Reid to chocolate goodness. I should eat a candy bar and get over him. “Who grills shirtless? And who looks that good while he grills and writes about It? This guy could be a model, so why's he peddling himself as a blogger?”
