Book Review: "What You Do To Me" by Barbara Longley

*** - Handyman Sam doesn't do serious relationships. After he foolishly outs himself as the local lothario, Heroine Haley's meddling mother hires Sam to fix up her house and get her out of her post-breakup funk. The set-up and beginning of this story are great. Haley is a really likable character and Sam is very endearing. They have great chemistry when they deny their attraction towards each other and try to operate as business as usual.

Unfortunately the book gets a little bit hard to read when Sam and Haley actually hook up and "the drama" is introduced to the story. The outcome is inevitable and anticlimactic. I eagerly read through the start of this book but I wasn't in a hurry to finish.

Perfectly cute romance novel, well-written and great characterization. I just don't think it has anything new to offer. If the premise interests you, it's worth a read.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my review.
