5 sparkly stars - an immensely enjoyable and delightful read
Although I don't read a lot of books in the romance genre these days, Kathryn Freeman books are definitely my not so guilty pleasure! Kathryn's books are always guaranteed to entertain and The New Guy does just that.We meet Sam Huxton when she is drowning her sorrows in the pub after her Grandad's funeral. Feeling the need to talk about her beloved 'Grumps' she turns to the man next to her at the bar. Ryan Black is just trying to have a quiet pint but Sam won't be put off, despite his rudeness and clear annoyance at her chewing his ear off. As Sam continues to talk and the alcohol begins to flow, she has the crazy idea to have a one-night stand with her nameless bar buddy. After all, she'll never see him again after tonight...until he walks into her office tomorrow as her newest employee! Ryan is equally mortified; it's his first day at his new job and he's already slept with the boss!With so many misunderstandings, insecurities and raging hormones Sam and Ryan attempt to work together but their mutual attraction and memories of an amazing one-night stand keep pushing them together. Aside from the romance aspect of the story, there is an excellent storyline of Sam trying to keep her business afloat in spite of her ex-boyfriend's efforts to destroy her with his rival business. Sam's employees are more family and friends than co-workers though, so their strength is very much in their togetherness.Ryan also has a very good storyline which shows a different side to him. He's very anti-social and snappy but he has a lot of emotional baggage to carry in the form of his alcoholic mother and a sister who will barely speak to him. It just shows how we can make a judgement on someone from first impressions but when you dig beneath the surface there is so much more going on.So very entertaining, The New Guy is pure escapism in these troubled times. Kathryn Freeman writes such multi-layered stories that continue to surprise me; The New Guy makes for addictive reading as, with there being so many different strands to the story, I was desperate to find out what was going to happen in every single one of them. An immensely enjoyable and delightful read, The New Guy gets 5 sparkly stars from me!
