That Man (books 1, 2 and 3) is a new sizzling and sassy romantic comedy by author Nelle L’Amour.Jennifer and Blake meet in a most unorthodox way.  However, Jennifer never lays eyes on the man who literally rocks her world with one kiss.  All she knows is she can’t stop thinking about it… and neither can he.  So when she walks into his office the following day to interview for a job, things get very interesting very quickly.This trilogy was a complete, unexpected, and delightful surprise.  Author Nelle L’Amour brings a new element to the table with funny (and at times over-the-top) scenes between two characters who couldn’t be more different.  Jennifer is quite the enigmatic female lead.  She’s the adorable girl-next-door type; the stereotypical good girl – sexually nave, and blindly devoted to her first love – while at the same time, she’s surprisingly ballsy.  She’s smart and gutsy, and seems to handle whatever is thrown at her with confidence and tenacity.  She definitely knows her mind – even if sometimes it takes her a while to speak it.Blake is despicable and lovable all at once.  I was completely at odds as to whether Blake deserved Jennifer at all.  He is the stereotypical spoiled rich kid/playboy.  He looks the part, he dresses the part, and he definitely acts the part.  Blake literally oozes sex appeal.  He’s a bit of a cad – no, scratch that – he is a cad.  At times I wasn’t sure whether I was on Team Blake or not.  His humorous internal and physical struggle between being the man whore that he has always been, or becoming the man he wants to be for Jennifer is funny and endearing.  You know, there’s something about a man that loves and respects his family – especially the women in his family – that pretty much sealed the deal for me.  Now he just has to seal the deal with Jennifer.That Man wasn’t just the proverbial playboy-wants-to-get-the-innocent-girl-in-bed-story.  Oh yes, there’s plenty of steam.  Nelle L’Amour always brings the sexy!  And there’s also plenty of pursuit – sometimes outrageous, and at other times nearly pathetic, but at all times funny.  In addition to the humor though, author Nelle L’Amour also manages to weave in a sweet love story.  Jennifer and Blake both have a lot of growing and changing to do if it is ever going to work between them, and the growth of these characters – learning to let go, and trust, and forgive, was ultimately what brought my smile.  I loved the journey – but it was definitely a wild and unpredictable ride.Five witty, endearing stars.
