I didn't enjoy this at all. It read like a bad fanfic, people speaking in an inauthentic (or at least unlikely) way, being too full on with drama too quickly. I really enjoyed You Are Invited by this author so was disappointed by this title.

When Laura meets Ethan she thinks she has found the perfect man but soon realizes it was too good to be true in the worst possible way.
Incredible characters. Laura relatable trying to reason with someone who is beyond reason and Ethan totally controlling and controlled by his mother.
It is an absorbing and easy to devour thriller in which each chapter left me wanting more and more because the plot flows naturally until its satisfying ending.
Undoubtedly an enjoyable read that I recommend to lovers of the genre.

The Nice Guy - Sarah A. Denzil

What happens when the main character (Laura) casually hooks up with a handsome, seemingly kind and funny guy (Ethan) before she knows him, just once?

More than you could ever imagine!

The day after Laura and Ethan's um.... physical encounter, Laura is shocked to discover Ethan's rudeness and entitled attitude, an attitude that becomes even scarier as she attempts to politely let him know they will not be dating ever again.

He responds by attempting to sabotage her job.

When Laura discovers she is pregnant, and the baby must be Ethan's, she makes the somewhat crazy decision to co-parent with this psycho. And crazy as a hatter he is, as she (and her well-meaning friends and family) will be lucky to survive this ill-"conceived" brief encounter.

The only thing I found slightly implausible is that the main character would have even IMAGINED co-parenting with such a lunatic would be even slightly manageable.

However, it makes the entre story, and you won't believe the lengths this guy will go to to bring misery to the main character's life.

When Ethan's equally squirrelly mother enters the scene, it is easy to see that nut didn't fall far from the family tree!

Until next time...
