BLURB:
Dina
Jacobs is a single librarian who has never fit in due to her off-the-charts
intelligence, frizzy hair and rounder-than-socially-acceptable figure. She left
her past behind until she receives an invitation to her ten-year high school
reunion, and all her insecurities return.
Adam Mandel is a single corporate attorney who just missed his third deadline at his father's law firm, the law firm where he is up for junior partner. With his reputation on the line, Adam needs all the help he can get to convince his father that he deserves the promotion.
When Dina and Adam run into each other on a deserted road, Dina thinks Mr. Flashypants can't possibly be interested in someone like her. Adam thinks Dina is just the person to help him improve his reputation. Lies and insecurities force them to take a look at themselves. Can they trust each other to look beyond the surface?

EXCERPT
“You’re a genius.”
She was, but it wasn’t something she mentioned during the
first week of a relationship, so she doubted he referred to her IQ. “What are
you talking about?”
“My dad is on my case about being more responsible,
improving my image, etc. When he saw you with me, he backed down. This is the
solution to all our problems.”
This time she stiffened. He couldn’t be...
“You need me to take you to the reunion. I need you to help
my dad see I’m mature enough, attentive enough, for the promotion.”
...he was. Did she misread his intentions after he sent her
those flowers?
“We were already going to the reunion together,” she said.
“And shouldn’t your performance at work determine whether or not you get a
promotion?”
“I need a hidden weapon outside of work. And you, my dear,”
he planted a kiss on her forehead, “are it.”
No, no, no. “You don’t need a weapon. You need to have a
conversation with your dad to fix things.”
“My dad doesn’t work your way.”
The sinking feeling in her stomach increased. Because while
she had started to feel something for Adam, he’d turned her into a career asset
for his own ambition.
“You’ll help me convince my father, right?”

My Review
Learning to Love is the third installment from the Serendipity by Jennifer Wilck. I thought it was a delightful read. I loved Dina and Adam’s story and loved it when they were in the scenes together. It was entertaining how they interacted with one another. So sweet.
I give Learning to Love five plus stars and would love to catch up with the other books in the Serendipity series. As well as, reading more by this author in the future.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion
Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for reading and reviewing!
ReplyDeleteGreat review, I enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteI love that the MCs are human - they sound totally relateable and for that reason, I'd really like to read this book. And the fact that she's a librarian doesn't hurt! :) She sounds like someone I could be friends with.
ReplyDeleteMy family and I all appreciate you bringing to our attention the book description of another great book to read. Thanks so much!
