Book Review: How to Choose a Guy in 10 Days by Lila Monroe

Stylist Gemma Jones is competing for a once-in-a-lifetime promotion. All she has to do is take some fashion-backward guy from geek to GQ-worthy. The only problem? The man in question is her hairy manwhore of a next-door neighbor. AKA Bigfoot.

Zach Morrison has zero interest in being Gemma’s makeover mannequin. Sure, it’s fun getting his smart-mouthed neighbor all riled up, but after cashing out of his tech start-up and going through an ugly break-up, he’s taking a permanent vacation. If he wants to wear sweatpants and sleep on a mattress in the corner of an empty apartment—

OK. Maybe he needs a little push in the right direction. But as Gemma races the clock to win her bet, she finds that Bigfoot’s been hiding a few things under his baggy flannel shirts. Like abs of steel, and a surprisingly big...

Heart. He has a big heart.

Soon, sparks are flying between this unlikely couple, but can Zach embrace a fresh start - however manscaped it might be? And will Gemma beat out her Instabitch rival for the top spot - and keep the truth about their bet from Zach? 

How to Choose a Guy in 10 Days is a rom com with some kick butt angst.  OMG, the angst drove me nuts! In a good way, of course. You know it's coming. Your heartbeat picks up. There's a little bit of sweat developing on your upper lip. Boom! The ax falls. Gah!  This book had me chomping at the bit.  

It's all begins with a bet. A bet that will end in a major promotion. Stylist Gemma Jones has her eye on the prize. All is going to plan as she makes over her "Big Foot" neighbor next door. As it turns out her once unfriendly neighbor is actually a good guy. Zach Morrison is ready for a change. He's ready to stop wallowing over his past break-up and move on with life. Gemma is the spark he needed. When sparks begin to fly Gemma can only hope they both will be laughing in ten days when the bet is over. 

This is a great start to a new series. I enjoyed playful characters, the funny moments and the steamy romance! 5 Stars
