BLURB:
Walking
wildfire Sam Owens gets Lillian hot in all the right ways, but there's more to
the software CEO than just a pretty face. And a great body. And… Oh, right.
He’s the enemy, according to the contract she signed with his rival. So when
they secretly meet up for movies at The Electric, Lillian can't get too
involved with Sam. She could lose her job. Her reputation. And her heart.
Sam is in love with his company, his image, his video games, and his ability to
avoid commitment--at least until he levels up with attorney Lillian Walker.
With her love of campy horror flicks and a body that makes him want to howl
like a cartoon wolf, Sam’s found his leading lady. Too bad getting close to
Lillian means tangling with her boss, a supervillain in the making.
In the nights leading up to Christmas, movies at The Electric mean more than
just mutant toads and cannibal fruitcakes. Between shenanigans with old flames
and an arch nemesis out to destroy any future they might have, Sam and Lillian
learn the hard way that falling in love isn’t as easy as it looks on screen.
When the past gets in the way of a perfect “the end,” there’s really only one
solution--if werewolf Santas can bring them together, zombie ex-girlfriends can
keep them together.
After all, anything’s possible at The Electric.

EXCERPT
Swooooshhhh and thunk.
Lillian had wounded his pride like an arrow in an ogre’s
soft underbelly. She’d called him a cover boy. Like he was in a boy band, and
not the CEO of Origin, the best software and tech development company in the
country. Scratch that—world. And despite that fact, she had yet to flirt with
or flatter him…
Hold up. Intimately?
Where had they met? Where had they intimately met? He’d
remember touching a body like that…
Hot cocoa.
When he looked at Lillian, hot cocoa came to mind. Not
helpful in the slightest, except for the affirmation he was probably in the
midst of a coronary and his brain starved of oxygen.
“Riiiiight. Yeah, we met at that…uh, that—”
“Don’t panic. I was joking. It wasn’t intimate at all. It
was six months ago, and we only shook hands,” she reassured him.
It didn’t help. Sam couldn’t even remember where they’d
shook hands. He pressed his lips together and felt his eyes bug out like Panic
Pete. Lillian groaned melodramatically and then laughed.
“I’m on Preston Lavery’s legal team. You gave a terrific
speech at the cloud development symposium in New York City. Preston introduced
us afterward.”
White hot rage coursed through Sam. The mere mention of
Preston Lavery was as good as a cold shower. He slid his hand below the
tabletop and hid his clenched fist, pressing it down into the vinyl seat.
“Well, that explains why Rik didn’t elaborate on you any
more than he did. You’re the enemy.”

My Review
Love at the Electric is a fun read. I enjoyed the chemistry between Sam and Lillian. They made me laugh a few times when they were together. I had no problem reading the whole read in one sitting. I could not put the book down. I wanted to find out what would happen next and see what happens in the end.
Love at the Electric gets five stars from. I look forward to other book written by Jenn Hughes.
Highly recommended.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
