His viral success has pigeon-holed him as the how-to guy for a buzzy, internet media company instead of covering hard-hitting politics. Fed up with his fluffy articles and the app-based dating scene as well, he strikes a deal with his boss to write a final piece de resistance: How to Lose a Girl. Easier said than done when the girl he meets is Hannah Mayfield, and he&#8217;s not sure he wants her to dump him.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Hannah is an extremely successful event planner who&#8217;s focused on climbing the career ladder. Her firm is one of the most prestigious in the city, and she&#8217;s determined to secure her next promotion. But Hannah has a bit of an image problem. She needs to show her boss that she has range, including planning dreaded, romantic weddings. Enter Jack. He\u2019s the perfect man to date for a couple weeks to prove to her boss that she\u2019s not scared of feelings.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Before Jack and Hannah know it, their fake relationship starts to feel all too real\u2014and neither of them can stand to lose each other.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_23787e9 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_2d1ea91  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16467 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3_5-hearts.jpg?resize=146%2C44\" alt=\"\" width=\"146\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Nov 12, 2019<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $9.99<\/p><hr \/><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When <strong>Hannah<\/strong> and<strong> Jack<\/strong> meet at a bar, they both convince themselves that despite their initial attraction, nothing will happen. Jack starts to pursue Hannah with all intentions of getting inside her head and using her for an article on How to Lose a Girl. Hannah\u2019s focus is to make sure Jack doesn\u2019t go anywhere since she needs to clean up her image and show she has a romantic side.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So I admit I really wanted to read this to do a comparison for the movie, <em>How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days<\/em>. I love that movie and to see a book with some of the same premise but with gender reversal sounds exciting. However, the execution is slightly off and it may be due to the fact the readers are inside the mind of the main characters.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hannah has a lot of issues. Her previous relationship really damaged her. I also believe that her own views of being biracial really started the issues she continues to face as an adult in relationships. Let\u2019s break some of this down. Hannah use to date a guy name Noah who wanted her to embrace her \u201cblack\u201d side and since she went to a primarily white school and have mostly white friends, she struggled with being the girlfriend he wanted. He ended things and told her that she is not the girl you marry. I say good riddance but of course, this messed Hannah up and she believes no one will ever marry her.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I liked Jack but for the life of me I couldn\u2019t understand why he continued the charade with the article. Every chapter that had his POV, he spoke about loving Hannah and how great she is. So did he think this would end up working out and he gets the girl? Maybe if he wasn\u2019t so into her and slowly realized how great she is, I could have stayed with the silly idea of the article.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The chemistry between Jack and Hannah kept me going. I love all the silly banter and sexy times with them. Hannah\u2019s conversation with her best friend really reminded me of some of my own conversations with my friends. They were spot on.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, this is a cute and funny romance that I would recommend.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3749OAD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/not-the-girl-you-marry\/id1453320559?mt=11&amp;app=itunes&amp;at=11l88k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/not-the-girl-you-marry-andie-j-christopher\/1130624938?ean=9781984802699#\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/not-the-girl-you-marry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Andie_J_Christopher_Not_the_Girl_You_Marry?id=gV6IDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jack Nolan is a gentleman, a journalist, and unlucky in love.

Christopher\" alt=\"Review \u2764\ufe0f Not the Girl You Marry by Andie J. Christopher\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jack Nolan is a gentleman, a journalist, and unlucky in love. His viral success has pigeon-holed him as the how-to guy for a buzzy, internet media company instead of covering hard-hitting politics. Fed up with his fluffy articles and the app-based dating scene as well, he strikes a deal with his boss to write a final piece de resistance: How to Lose a Girl. Easier said than done when the girl he meets is Hannah Mayfield, and he's not sure he wants her to dump him.<br \/><br \/>Hannah is an extremely successful event planner who's focused on climbing the career ladder. Her firm is one of the most prestigious in the city, and she's determined to secure her next promotion. But Hannah has a bit of an image problem. She needs to show her boss that she has range, including planning dreaded, romantic weddings. Enter Jack. He\u2019s the perfect man to date for a couple weeks to prove to her boss that she\u2019s not scared of feelings.<br \/><br \/>Before Jack and Hannah know it, their fake relationship starts to feel all too real\u2014and neither of them can stand to lose each other.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3_5-hearts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"146\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Nov 12, 2019<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $9.99<\/p><hr \/><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When <strong>Hannah<\/strong> and<strong> Jack<\/strong> meet at a bar, they both convince themselves that despite their initial attraction, nothing will happen. Jack starts to pursue Hannah with all intentions of getting inside her head and using her for an article on How to Lose a Girl. Hannah\u2019s focus is to make sure Jack doesn\u2019t go anywhere since she needs to clean up her image and show she has a romantic side.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So I admit I really wanted to read this to do a comparison for the movie, <em>How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days<\/em>. I love that movie and to see a book with some of the same premise but with gender reversal sounds exciting. However, the execution is slightly off and it may be due to the fact the readers are inside the mind of the main characters.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hannah has a lot of issues. Her previous relationship really damaged her. I also believe that her own views of being biracial really started the issues she continues to face as an adult in relationships. Let\u2019s break some of this down. Hannah use to date a guy name Noah who wanted her to embrace her \u201cblack\u201d side and since she went to a primarily white school and have mostly white friends, she struggled with being the girlfriend he wanted. He ended things and told her that she is not the girl you marry. I say good riddance but of course, this messed Hannah up and she believes no one will ever marry her.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I liked Jack but for the life of me I couldn\u2019t understand why he continued the charade with the article. Every chapter that had his POV, he spoke about loving Hannah and how great she is. So did he think this would end up working out and he gets the girl? Maybe if he wasn\u2019t so into her and slowly realized how great she is, I could have stayed with the silly idea of the article.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The chemistry between Jack and Hannah kept me going. I love all the silly banter and sexy times with them. Hannah\u2019s conversation with her best friend really reminded me of some of my own conversations with my friends. They were spot on.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, this is a cute and funny romance that I would recommend.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3749OAD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/not-the-girl-you-marry\/id1453320559?mt=11&amp;app=itunes&amp;at=11l88k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/not-the-girl-you-marry-andie-j-christopher\/1130624938?ean=9781984802699#\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/not-the-girl-you-marry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Andie_J_Christopher_Not_the_Girl_You_Marry?id=gV6IDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
