All the Feels by Olivia Dade, 398 pages
Actor Alex is seen in the industry as something of a loose cannon, which the showrunners of his Game of Thrones-esque TV show don't particularly love. When he gets in one bar brawl too many, he's saddled with former ER therapist Lauren, who's given the unenviable task of becoming Alex's shadow in an attempt to keep him in line. But as the two get to know each other, they learn that there's much more to Alex's playboy public persona and Lauren's stern boring professionalism, something that draws them together more than either expects.
As a sequel that has an overlapping timeline with Dade's Spoiler Alert (which was EXCELLENT), the reader already knows how much of this will turn out. Granted, that's the case with just about every romance novel ever, but I really didn't care as I read this one. I was swept up in this story of a troubled man falling in love with a not-traditionally-attractive woman (she's short and fat and has striking, but not beautiful, features!). The ways in which they handled their mutual attraction with professionalism and respect were so much more realistic than many romance novels. I absolutely loved this, and I hope there are more books in this series for me to devour!
