Summary

He's That Guy

You know, the hero in almost every romance novel. The super-rich, powerful CEO who is beyond sexy. Lives in a penthouse. Is wicked in bed. Has massive.... feet. Is kind of a jerk, but really he's not because he harbors some major secret that, once revealed, explains why he is the way he is - therefore completely redeeming himself and making all the listeners who hated to love him swoon....

Yeah. That one.  

Well, I found him.   

I'm a writer who has spent years searching for the perfect muse.  

Now that I know he exists, I have a mission.   

To make him fall in love with me.   

This should be easy. I mean, I have issues, but above all, I'm a great catch.   

Problem is, I did a stupid thing.  

And now he hates me.   

Unfortunately for him, he's my That Guy.   

And he's going to love me....

Whether he wants to or not.

Definitely funny

I laughed out loud multiple times, but it's funny in the same, uncomfortable way Fawlty Towers is funny. She's obnoxious and slightly unhinged, but her potty mouth is hilarious.

Laugh out loud

Couldn’t get enough of Penelope’s sense of humour and her smart mouth. Some of her one-liners were absolute gems! Great story, great narration. Thank you!

Fun!!

Penelope is over-the-top crazy in a non-apologetic, down to earth, and very funny way. Over-the-top not always my favorite, but loved this fun story.

Listened to the audiobook:
So glad I listened - this story works great as an audiobook.
Slows slurred and unpleasant at 1x speed - sped up to 1.6+ and sounded more natural and really good. Don’t understand why the speed of the released audiobook is sooo slow.
Excellent narration for Penelope’s character - fit her perfectly!
Except for the epilogue the whole book is from Penelope’s viewpoint - story works well this way.

A 'First' of Ms Jones books for me

It took me a little while to get into this author's writing style and once accomplished, the book was enjoyable.
My difficulty was with the narration. I had anticipated dual narrators and found myself very disappointed that Aaron Sherlock only read the epilogue as Cam.....not at all as expected.!!
That said I found it interesting, witty and insightful .
P.S. Sadly some errors with immersion reading, chunks of narration missing and several pages out of sync.....

I LAUGHED SO MANY TIMES

Funny, so funny, boy did I laugh at some of the scenes in this book.

The whole book is like a p** take on romance tropes as the heroin sets out to find That guy, the kind of guy books are written about to help her with her own romance novel. Did she ever write it? I've not a clue but I enjoyed Penelope's journey to finding her perfect guy anyway.

I listened to this book in audio and the narrator did a brilliant job at bringing the characters to life although I found the recording too quiet even on full volume. I think the audio compliments the story better than if you were reading it.

Hilarious!

Jake and Penelope are fantastic characters in this well written read that’s absolutely hilarious. In fact it’s probably the funniest book I’ve ever read! I’m a newbie to Kim Jones’ words but that’s about to change. I highly recommend it !
