Title: P.I.T.A. (L.A. Liaisons, #3)

Author: Brooke Blaine

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: January 30, 2017

As one of the most prestigious wedding coordinators in Los Angeles, Paige Iris Traynor-Ashcroft is known for being classy, elegant, and the orchestrator of many happily-ever-afters.

But in the words of Paige herself: “What a crock of shiitake.”

Known affectionately (or not) as P.I.T.A. to those closest to her, she’s never been one to buy into the whole monogamy thing for herself. Sure, her BFFs are getting picked off by Cupid one by one, but his arrows have nothing on her semiautomatic.

Richard “Dick” Dawson does his best to live up to his name. A long-time frenemy and manwhore extraordinaire, he thrives on pushing limits, pushing up skirts—and pushing every single one of Paige’s buttons. He’s the itch she can’t scratch, and doesn’t want to. Or does she?

What happens when blazing-hot rage turns to crazy, unexplainable lust? Surely not…love? Because that would just be a total P.I.T.A.

“I have a secret. I love it when you call me love.”

“I’ll have to do it more often, then.”

“Do you call everyone that?”

“Only you.”

This book was so funny and so cute! This one was definitely my favourite one of the series. I just absolutely LOVED it!!

Paige Iris Traynor-Ashcroft, a.k.a. P.I.T.A. and Richard “Dick” Dawson grew up together as childhood friends. One event caused these two to become frenemies that have continued for many years. Now, Paige is a successful wedding planner, even though a lifelong commitment to one man is something she never plans on doing. Paige prefers variety and of the one-night-only kind. Paige was such a fun and sassy character. I loved the hilarious and crude things that came out of her mouth. It was rather ironic that a wedding planner didn’t believe in a forever kind of marriage. However, she believed that because of her parents who have not shown her what true love is really like.

“Why?”

“Because you’re my girl. Always have been. Always will be.”

“Even when we fight all the time?”

Dawson chuckled. “Especially then.”

“Even when I call you Dirty Dick?”

“Somehow even then.”

Then we have Dawson, the very handsome and charming manwhore who can’t come near Paige without pushing her buttons and arguing with her. I freaking LOVED him!!! Seriously he made me swoon like mofo. Something I truly loved about the story, wasn’t just how well it was written, but that we are able to see how this friendship developed between Paige and Dawson. He was always there for Paige when she needed him the most growing up. Now, as adults, Dawson irritates Paige to no end, but she also finds him incredibly irresistible and sexy–which he totally was.

“How long have you wanted us to happen?”

Dawson’s brows rose. “How long do you think?”

“I asked you first.”

“Since the moment I first laid eyes on you, love.”

I don’t want to give too much of the story away, but I will say it was humourous as hell. I loved it so much! I giggled like a freaking school girl so many times that I lost count. Dawson melted the panties right off of me that he left me wanting so much more. I loved Paige as well. She was so cool and fun that she will definitely leave you wanting her as a friend. Together these two were perfection. I loved the silly and sexy banter between them. The sexual tension was awesome. I loved everything about this book that I could hardly contain my goofy grin after finishing it. I highly recommend this read. I mean seriously….Dawson…’nuff said.

Meli Mel’s Review of HOOKER – HERE

You could say Brooke Blaine was a book-a-holic from the time she knew how to read; she used to tell her mother that curling up with one at 4 a.m. before elementary school was her ‘quiet time.’ Not much has changed except for the espresso I.V. pump she now carries around and the size of her onesie pajamas.

Brooke enjoys writing sassy contemporary romance, whether in the form of comedy, suspense, or erotica. The latter has scarred her conservative Southern family for life, bless their hearts.

If you’d like to get in touch with her, she’s easy to find – just keep an ear out for the Rick Astley ringtone that’s dominated her cell phone for ten years.
