Life in a Rut, Love Not Included

Author: J.D. Hollyfield
Genre: Romance
Publication Date: March 1, 2014


Synopsis


Having it all isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

When Sarah Sullivan’s perfect life blows up in front of her, she finds herself crawling back to the one place she never saw herself returning: Home.

At thirty-one, Sarah had it all. Perfect job, perfect boyfriend, perfect life. When all that is taken away from her, she is left heartbroken and angry and desperate enough to let her life swallow her whole…for a while.

Fending off love and the pursuit of happiness completely, Sarah vows to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. She creates a list of goals for herself—starting with a much needed shower—and constructs a plan to dig herself out of her rut. What she doesn’t plan for is meeting the arrogant new employee her parents have hired to work on an addition to their home. Enter Jack Calloway, the handsome, charming, lickable foreman with an insatiable effect on Sarah’s girly parts.

Jack accepts the job, but gets more than he bargained for. Unable to ignore his racing hormones—and calm his temper—over the obnoxious woman who clouds his judgment, Jack pulls her in and steals her heart until she finally surrenders. But is he up for the challenge of picking up the pieces of Sarah’s broken heart? Can he carry her out of her rut?

Excerpt

“No, that's not what I meant,” he says. “Look at me.” He holds my wrist firmly in his grip, waiting for me to stop fighting his hold and make eye contact with him. This just isn't happening to me. “Sarah, look at me,” he says again, and at the sound of my name leaving his lips I turn and look. I see scorching gold eyes burning right into mine. Intense emotions drain out of his eyes and pour into mine. “I didn't kiss you because I felt sorry for you. I kissed you because I haven't stopped thinking about kissing you since I first saw you on the street. Then the second chance I got after you walked into my office all bent out of hell to drive me insane. I haven’t slept a good fuckin’ night since I slammed my mouth on yours two weeks ago. What I'm sorry about is that I took advantage of you in a vulnerable moment. It was wrong of me.

Catarina's Thoughts:


J.D Hollyfield has a hit with her debut novel Life in A Rut, Not including Love. I found this book full of wit and I laughed throughout. You can easily relate to Sarah Sullivan in a lot of ways.
Sarah is in a rut her perfect world has burst around her and she just doesn't want to exist. That is until she meets Jack the gorgeous Construction Worker who is working on her parents extension to their house.

Sarah and Jack don't get off on a good start but love has a funny way of cropping up when least expected and before you know it they are sizzling and hot. You will find yourself laughing throughout the book and find it every easy to read. I read it in 24 hours.
I fell in love with Sarah's Aunt Raines and I wish she was my Aunt. I found her to be such a support and always knew how to solve a problem. "Vermonth" sound like a wonderful drink to help with forgetting life.
I felt a kindred spirit with this book because I know Life in a rut personally, not including love. Some of us have been there.
I rate this book 5 stars and look forward to reading J.D. Hollyfield's next book.
