Secrets and lies are a killer way to start any partnership—especially a horizontal one.
Now, I’m a glass half full kinda of guy, so, after the ‘you’re fired’ speech was directed at me, I figure now’s the time to be the screenwriter I came to sunny California to be. Unfortunately, there are about as many people trying to sell a script in L.A. as there are vegans in the pacific northwest.
But lucky for me, a few weeks ago my agent found an investor for my script. Hooray, all my problems are solved! NOT.
Because the investor will only agree to fund my film if I use one specific actress. And that one specific actress? Well of course, it just has to be the same actress I screwed over only months before. But she doesn’t need to know about that one tiny detail, does she? All that matters is getting her to agree to do the film and I’ll do whatever it takes. We can leave the past, in the past, right?
I thought my charm would win her over. Never would I have been prepared for the terms she laid out on the table.
She needed a nanny.
I needed a lead actress.
Somehow I became The Manny.
The Manny is
another knockout novel by the duo Piper Rayne.
I absolute love these two, I have read every single one of their books
and I will continue to do so until they stop writing. They are full of humor, love, and
shenanigans. I can’t believe it hasn’t
even been a full year since I discovered them.
From the very first paragraph in their first book, I was hooked. And things haven’t changed with their newest
release.
Vance Rose (if you’ve read their Single Dad’s club series,
you’ll have briefly met him in Sexy Beast) is a little down on his luck, sexy,
and a bit of a dirty talker. Actually, I
think most of Rayne’s heroes are, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I melt over a dirty talker and they have some
good ones. Anyways, back to the story at
hand. He gets thrown into the deep end
and out of his comfort zone. Layla is a
hardworking, struggling single mom and actress.
The two of them have some serious chemistry. They are also well-written. Each of them has layers, flaws, insecurities,
and abilities. And the secondary
characters are just as great. Even if I
want to throw Jagger off the nearest cliff…And I loved “seeing” Charlie and Garrett again.
Yes, there is some drama.
But it’s not overwrought or over-the-top, it flows easily with the
story. I surprisingly teared up a little
with this book but that’s what makes them so good. They expertly weave the teary parts with the
humor and leave you feeling a little off balance until the very end. If you’ve never checked out one of their novels,
this is a great one to start with. Just
be sure your wallet can handle it when you fall in love and one-click all their
novels in one fell swoop.
(READ ME)
Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two established authors for the price of one. You might be wondering if you know us? Maybe you’ll read our books and figure it out. Maybe you won’t. Does it really matter?
We aren’t trying to stamp ourselves with a top-secret label. We wanted to write without apology. We wanted to not be pigeon holed into a specific outline. We wanted to give readers a story without them assuming how the story will flow. Everyone has their favorite authors, right? And when you pick up their books, you expect something from them. Whether it’s an alpha male, heavy angst, a happily ever after, there’s something you are absolutely certain the book will contain. Heck, we’re readers, too, we get it.
What can we tell you about ourselves? We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.
