Free (Kindle/Kobo/iTunes) Irresistibly Yours [Workplace Rivalry Romantic Comedy]

[ATDrake]

Irresistibly Yours by Lauren Layne is the 1st novel in her Oxford series of contemporary f/m workplace romantic comedy set at the eponymous magazine's office, this one involving a rivalry between a hot-shot freelance contributor competing for a regular staff position with the feisty tomboy writer he finds himself falling for, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Hachette's Headline Eternal imprint.

This is the featured Free Book of the Week in the iTunes UK store. Despite the apparent Kobo category which appears to be a misfile, from the customer reviews, the story is a merely steamy (but not actually erotic) romantic comedy. There's another actual erotic romance freebie from the same imprint out at the moment which happens to be filed merely under contemporary, which can be found via a search for the author name of Kenner and the title keyword of Release (and the House name of a popular doomed Game of Thrones family if you really need it), if you happen to like Fifty Shades of Grey-alikes.

Currently free @ Amazon UK, iTunes UK, Google Play & Kobo (available in the UK and also EU/Oceania/South America & Japan countries that I spot-checked)

Unlikely to cross the pond, as the rights belong to the Loveswept imprint in North America.

Description
Fans of Julie James, Carly Phillips and Chanel Cleeton - meet the men of Oxford magazine! In the first captivating spin-off of Lauren Layne's bestselling Sex, Love & Stiletto series, Irresistibly Yours, a not-so-friendly battle of the sexes turns into a scorching office romance.

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.
