Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 8, 2012
Tanner Peschke's father wants him to take over the family's car dealership. However, Tanner's dad is concerned that Tanner doesn't have what it takes to make a profit because Tanner has an annoying habit of buying into every sob story a chick will hand him. With a three month deadline to prove he can turn a profit, Tanner hires Janine, an actress he accidentally got fired, to help him do a series of live "Tarzan and Jane" themed commercials. With each commercial being a total farce, the city takes notice and the two become local celebrities. Janine wants to be taken seriously as an actress and Tanner wants Janine to take him seriously as a love interest. Will these two ever land on the same page?This was cute! It's definitely trying to get the laughs and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it's an entertaining read. This is definitely a humor driven contemporary romance, and it's not a *clean* one for those wondering. There are a few sex scenes but they aren't long and really graphically drawn out.I would say the commercials are probably the best part of the book. As a romance, it's a little bit lacking in that department. Tanner and Janine are fun characters, but we're not going swimming in the deep end of the pool with this. But, this isn't a serious kind of book, it's comedy first and foremost. If you're looking for something lighthearted, cute, simple, and fun to read with a small splash of romance, this should work for you.
