Author: Rebecca Rennick
Release Date: January 2023
Henry Bardot is a real estate mogul with a very healthy bank account, and a perfectly ordered life. He’s not interested in relationships. In his mind, they’re a waste of time and energy. As is anything fun. He simply doesn’t have time for such unnecessary things like smiling or laughing. He has work to do. Then she literally crashes into him, kissing him without even a “How do you do?” disrupting his precisely scheduled life. Lala, the pink bulldozer.
Micaela “Lala” Hart is a free spirit with a struggling business and a great love for the color pink. Pink hair, pink clothes, pink Skoolie. It’s a cheerful color that makes her happy. That’s what her life is about. Happiness and fun. Leaving behind the judgmental stares of her small Kentuky hometown, Lala is determined to find her place in the world and have fun while she’s at it. Then she meets Henry Bardot, the anti-pink grumpapotamous, who may very well be the key to expanding her little Boba business into something more.
But can she stop herself from falling for his grumpy charm and mind-blowing… conversational skills?

So, after our weekend getaway, I struggled with finding a book to read - between recouping, & getting back into the daily plans, not to mention not knowing what I was in the mood for, - I didn't know what to pick up.
But I finally found something to give it a-go. At first it was a bit slow going - not bc the book was slow, but bc of my mood. But once I got into the story I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Lala loves pink. Her clothes are pink, her car is pink, her hair is pink, even her pet ferret is pink. She is the very essence of joy, and people can't help but smile being in her presence.
So when her friend dares her to make a scowling-but hot- stranger on the street smile, Lala agreed. She strolled right up to him, planting a kiss on his lips. Only, the stranger, it turns out is one of her friend's older brothers- Henry. And she makes it her mission to make him smile.
So like I said, I enjoyed this book. It was a fun grumpy/sunshine rom-com, with fun banter & some steam.
Lala is the epitome of sunshine - pink makes her happy, and she spreads that happiness to others. She does what makes her happy.
Henry is grumpy, and doesn't have time for happiness or smiling, only his strict work schedule.
So what happens when Lala makes it her mission to make Henry smile?
This book was cute & fun & I enjoyed every minute of it. Can't wait to add the next book of the series of standalones to my TBR. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I was born in Sacramento California in November of 1984. Currently I moved to Florida in 2017 where I live with my husband Josh and our dog Molly. Our reason for moving to Florida was so that I could work at one of the happiest places on Earth, DisneyWorld. (I no longer work here which is totally sad :-( but I still love it)
I attended college in San Fransisco at the Academy of Art University, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in fine art, emphasis in Fashion Design. That is why I became a seamstress at Disney World.
However as an artist I love all forms of art. Photography and writing being part of that passion. Always people watching and creating stories for those I saw passing by in airports and parks. One day I decided to start writing down my stories that played out in my head. Discovering I wasn't half bad at it. So I started writing. It wasn't until my fifth book after four years of writing, did I decide to publish my stories.
I love reading many genre's of books from horror to YA fantasy to SciFi and beyond. Romance in novels was always my favorite part of the story and so writing in the romance genre just seemed right.
I've always been a hopeless romantic at heart and a little bit of a goof ball, and secretly perverse. I love the down to earth happy romance of Rom-Com's. I've discovered I'm pulled towards the silly and sexy. I enjoy the fun humor and dirty naughty smut, so I combine it. But I love to create new worlds with magic and technology and things I'll never be able to see or experience in reality. Which is why I write in multiple genres.
I'm also a huge a fan of traveling and food. Having had the great privilege to have traveled and eaten in 26 countries around the world. I love seeing different people and cultures and architecture. I feel this has greatly contributed to my ability to create and be artistic.
I only hope that all of you enjoy the crazy stories I come up with in my head.
