Some Call It Love

Some Call It Love

Sarah Peis2018
A mistaken arrest, an unpaid debt and a trip to Vegas. Rock-bottom, meet Willa. One thing I learned this week: Never choose an essay topic based on the movie Thor and Chris Hemsworth's abs. Another--probably more important--thing I also learned: Drooling when staring at Jameson Drake is not a good look. I thought my week was as bad as it would get, until I find out my dad owes Jameson a lot of money. And I'm supposed to pay it off by working for him. Now I have a new job, a huge debt to pay off and a hot boss who takes broody alpha to a new level. When I find myself on my way to Vegas to bail my dad out, Jameson insists on coming along. Things go from bad to worse, as they usually do when my family is involved, and Jameson turns into my savior. Now I'm faced with a choice: Keeps things professional or explore the chemistry between us. But honestly, who can resist a knight in shining armor? This romantic comedy is the first book in the Some Call It Series and can be read as a standalone.

Hmm not sure what to make of this one. Tried to be funny but was mostly pratfalls and cheap humor. I really didn't care for the basis of the plot line, which is that Willa's alcoholic father runs up a bunch of debt (yet again) and Jameson tells her she has to work at his garage for free to pay it off. Um wut? Her life was just sad, dealing with all of the BS from her father and constantly being obligated to pay his debts. At one point,(view spoiler)[ she offers up her body in a poker game to a man who is a known to cheat at cards and somehow manages to avoid having to pay his debt via having sex with this thug. (hide spoiler)] Thanks to her dad's crap, she has to work multiple low-paying jobs. I lost track of how many times she realized she forgot to do laundry and had to pull dirty clothes out of a pile to wear. And then her love interest? Imagine a guy falling for you (though we never find out why exactly he does) and in order to spend more time with you, he makes you work for him for free on top of working multiple other jobs. What a keeper, am I right? (Sarcasm ofc) Also never addressed was why Jameson, the “good guy”, essentially blackmailed her into working for free for him at his garage to pay off her father’s debt (view spoiler)[when her uncle actually already paid it. (hide spoiler)]I guess he did it to spend time with her? But that is not good guy material. Also the men in the shop treated her like a servant. Overall an OK read. Not sure what to make of the town name Humptulips.
