A brilliant-at-math-but-challenged-with-people heroine and a stubbornly frugal hero find love in spite of themselves in this vintage romance debut from award-winning author Karen Grey. ????? “This is a fabulous read that’ll take you back in time, make you swoon, and serve you with a heavy dose of nostalgia.” —The Rogue Reviews ? Independent Audiobook Awards Finalist 2021 ? AudioFile Magazine Earphones Award ? Finance hotshot Kate Bishop doesn’t expect the cute bartender to quote Shakespeare to her when she meets her colleagues for happy hour, nor for him to rescue the rest of her workday with a special cocktail. Will Talbot’s head is turned by the adorably nerdy young woman who doesn’t seem to belong with the rest of the power-suit crowd, but his heart knows that he’s got to keep his eyes on the prize: his career as a professional actor. After fate throws this pair of opposites together again, and again, they finally give in to the combustible attraction between them. But when real life throws a monkey wrench into their carefully choreographed plans, will love win? Or will career? Don’t miss this smart, feel-good series starter set in the late 1980’s—an era of big hair and bigger egos. Each Boston Classics standalone romantic comedy guarantees an evocative trip back in time and a Happy-Ever-After for the ages. PRAISE ????? "This is my first book by Karen Grey and I’m hooked." —Rellim Reads ????? "Kate and Will share a sizzling attraction and complex connection, giving me all the feels in this timeless romance." —Jen, That's What I'm Talking About ????? "Set in the 1980s, this funny yet warmhearted character-driven tale checks all the boxes for classy contemporary romance while providing the longed-for “something different” readers seek out. It’s smart. It’s sexy. It’s sophisticated romance at its best."—Lea Hensley, Audiogals ????? “This story was bodacious! Totally Tubular!” —Live, Laugh, Love and Books ????? “I felt like I was in a time warp and I loved it. ” —Betty Loves Love ????? “I loved listening to this ’80s romantic comedy...from the meet-cute to the epilogue.” —BookFan ????? “I grew up in the 80’s and so I am glad that Karen Grey decided to make a romance series based in the 80’s as it was rather nostalgic. Just look at that cover, phones with cords!! ??”—Books, Movies, Reviews, Oh My! ????? “A very character-driven book that took me back to when I was just starting out in the workforce in the mid 1980’s (one of the best decades!). Take a trip back in time when people actually left messages on answering machines (before texting was a thing) and enjoy!”—Comfy Chair Books ????? “With lots of 80’s references throughout the book, and the narration by the always brilliant Joe Arden, and the fabulous narration by the author herself, Karen Grey/White has made an instant new fan in me.”—Audio Killed the Bookmark ????? “The part that I loved the most: the random Shakespeare quotes littered throughout the story. They fit so well, and with Joe Arden's voice on the audio, oh yes they sounded so sweet. —Kerri, Goodreads ????? “Not to give too much away, but there is a point in the story where Will, through his acting, is able to work through a painful part of his past. This scene to me, demonstrates what a wonderful actor Joe Arden is. The emotions he unleashes are so powerful it really took my breath away.” —Christie, Goodreads ????? “Ah, the 80's...pagers, answering machines and waiting days for a call, oh my!” —Kathryn, Goodreads ????? “Would I listen to this book again? Yes. Would I read this book? Yes. Would I read more by this author? Yes. Would I listen to more work done by our narrators? Yes to both. I want to see where all of them will take me next.”—Lynn, Goodreads ????? “This book was a delight. It is a well crafted romance set in the 1980s between two characters who seem to exist in separate worlds yet cant deny their attraction to each other.”—Christine, Goodreads ????? “Karen Grey/Karen White is among a trend
