Man Flu ~ Shari J Ryan ~ New Release and Review

Cover Designer: MadHat Books

Release Date: January 17, 2018

Synopsis

I was trying to live every woman's dream, except my reality has been nothing but a nightmare job and a divorce at the age of thirty-two. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, my ex-husband, Rick, moved in next door with his life-size Barbie doll. So, that's been fun. Then, life pitched me a curve-ball in the form of a retired major-league baseball player, Logan Grier. With his panty-dropping smile, he’s like an expertly photoshopped version of David Beckham, and he's single. Could life be perfect after all? Of course not. As always, there had to be a catch. Logan had a secret, and I couldn’t help feeling like the truth was dangling right in front of my face. With Rick’s daily agenda of torturing me, Logan has been an enticing distraction, despite the little fact that he’s my temporary employee. Plus, I didn’t exactly care that his flirty behavior may have been a plan to get in good with the boss. In any case, I was willing to toss a few balls with him, seeing as my playing field hadn’t had any action in over a year. That’s when it happened…my two worlds collided. Hot temp met the ex, and a full-on bromance was born, but that’s only the beginning. The “man flu” has come out of nowhere and hit both Logan and Rick with a virus they’re claiming to be worse than childbirth. In fact, they’re pretty sure their end is near. Will the “man flu” be the kiss of death, or will it be my window for an opportunistic change?

This a book for every mom out there...

Whether you are a single mom or not, Man Flu captures the worst of the worst and casts it in a humorous and hopeful light.

I liked Hannah and Logan and honestly had to laugh at a couple of the situations they found themselves in. I also appreciated the emotional growth we saw Hannah go through while she completed the process of saying good bye to her marriage and moving forward.

As much as I enjoyed this book, some of the quirks in Logan’s personality kept me from giving this a full 4 stars. As much as I liked him, some of the hot/cold stuff put me off of him a little bit too.

Overall, this is a super fun book with some heftier emotions woven in. There is a bit of a reminder for all of us about taking care of our selves and remembering to love ourselves enough to share.
