IRRESISTIBLY YOURS
Oxford #1
Lauren Layne
Releasing Oct 6th, 2015
Loveswept
Hotshot sports editor Cole Sharpe has been freelancing for Oxford for years, so when he hears about a staff position opening up, he figures he’s got the inside track. Then his boss drops a bombshell: Cole has competition. Female competition, in the form of a fresh-faced tomboy who can hang with the dudes—and write circles around them, too. Cole usually likes his women flirty and curvy, but he takes a special interest in his skinny, sassy rival, if only to keep an eye on her. And soon, he can’t take his eyes off her.
Penelope Pope knows all too well that she comes off as just one of the guys. Since she’s learned that wanting more usually leads to disappointment, Penelope’s resigned to sitting on the sidelines when it comes to love. So why does Cole make her want to get back in the game? The man is as arrogant as he is handsome. He probably sees her as nothing more than a barrier to his dream job. But when an unexpected kiss turns into a night of irresistible passion, Penelope has to figure out whether they’re just fooling around—or starting something real.

Favorite Quotes:
“For all she
knew, maybe Lincoln’s kisses were as good as it got. It had certainly been more skilled than most
of the groping kisses she’d endured in college.
And better than Erik’s, a guy whom she’d dated for a few months and who
had borderline halitosis.”
“The touch
merely was. It said, I’m here, but only
if you want me to be. And, oddly enough,
he did want her to be. There was something calming about Penelope
Pope.”
“For Cole
Sharpe, Penelope would have been one out of a million other women in his
life. For Penelope, Cole might have been
one in a million. The only one. It’s how she rolled, throwing herself all the
way over the ledge without looking.”
“Her dad was
an avid sportsman, and rather than bemoan his lack of a son, had dragged both
Janie and Penelope into the world of athletics.
He’d had only partial success with Janie. He’d had to spray-paint her bat hot pink in
order to get her to play softball on long summer evenings,”
“Her mother
wasn’t superficial – not quite. But
Lydia Pope was definitely of the mind-set that a nice fuchsia lipstick could
solve most of the world’s problems.”
My Review:
Being raised a
tom-boy and slender of build with no boobage, Penelope Pope had resigned
herself to being the girl-next-door type, who is typically stuck in the friend zone
and treated like one of the guys. Her
romantic track record was beyond disappointing, it was non-existent and
embarrassing. I adored her. I also cherished her sweet co-worker and
friends with benefits partner Cole Sharpe.
I enjoyed the easy to follow, refreshing, and sweet story-line, and fell
in love with the characters upon meeting them.
I was relaxed and entertained all the way through. What a delightful change from all the angst
and drama and decided I want much more of this!
Irresistibly Yours is my first
time reading Ms. Layne’s work but I quickly added her entire listing to my TBR soon
after started this amusing book, as I was charmed by her breezy, realistic, and
humorous writing style, and her steamy love scenes were just the icing on the
cake.
