Business Not as Usual by Sharon C Cooper
Contemporary romance. Diverse/own voice.
Dreamy has a goal. She’s going to own her own business one day and she’s going to fund that business by winning the lottery. In the meantime, she’s earning a living and working on her bachelor’s degree. Karter sees something special in Dreamy but his work-life balance needs some adjustments.

Dreamy is ambitious and is willing to do the grunt work to put her time in. Her interactions with Karter are at first playful and later protective. It’s a fun relationship to follow even after a few obvious troupes. At the heart, the romance is heartfelt and adorable.… (mais)

Dreamy is quirky, a colorful dresser, and counts on winning the lottery one day. Karter is a handsome, workaholic venture capitalist. Cue the light and sexy rom-com hijinx!

Review:
"Business Not As Usual" by Sharon C. Cooper

My Assessment:

'Business Not As Usual' was an excellent enjoyable, fun read featuring Dreamy and Karter...two opposites in that she was poor and he was rich; however, both had style grace and were caring individuals. The secondary characters presented some intriguing thoughts throughout the read, keeping the reader turning the pages to see what was coming next. I loved Dreamy's grandpa! The idea of how Dreamy held to winning the lottery was off the chart...well played, and let's not forget her way of dressing. Karter was just a nice guy who finally got who he needed in his life despite how his mother tried her best to downplay his feeling toward Dreamy. We find Karter quite shaken after the death of his friend, knowing he needed to make some severe changes in his life. Will Karter succeed in this situation of overworking and not taking time out for other needs? Will this change after he meets Dreamy? To find out all the questions and more, you will have to pick up this good read and see how well this author brings it all out to the reader.

If you are looking for a 'magical fun story, age gap, a millionaire heroine, and a beautiful romance, you have come to the right place to get it all for 'Business Not As Usual.'

Thank you to Netgalley for a free eArc in exchange for an honest review.

Terrific blend of romance and suspense that hooked me from the very beginning. Amina met Max and Jeremy on the same night, spending time first with Max. They really hit it off, but he got called away while she was in the ladies' room. So he gave a note with his phone number to his best friend, Jeremy, to deliver to her. Jeremy, the snake, moved in on her instead, and Amina was left feeling that Max had blown her off. By the time Max realized what happened, it was too late - Jeremy had conned Amina into believing they were in love. Heartbroken, Max stayed away as much as possible. It didn't take Amina long to realize her mistake, and she quickly divorced Jeremy. But the damage was done. Max and Jeremy's friendship was over, and he and Amina avoided each other.

As the book opens, Max rides along with Jeremy in his patrol car. As Jeremy's boss, Max has the unenviable task of making Jeremy realize that he's in danger of losing his job. When they get a call about a disturbance at an apartment complex, Max's instincts tell him something is wrong - just before Jeremy is shot and killed. Shocked and devastated by the loss of his former friend, Max knows he should be the one to tell Amina. I liked their shared sorrow over the loss of a life, even though neither one liked Jeremy any longer.

The questions and suspicions start as soon as the police department begins its investigation into what happened. Max's instinct proved correct when it became evident that Jeremy had been a target. As the investigation progressed, it became increasingly evident that neither Max nor Amina knew Jeremy at all. When Amina became the target of a mugging, and then her home ransacked, they wondered what sort of trouble Jeremy brought to her door. I was fascinated by the progression of the investigation and the revelations that came out. At times it seemed as if events were tied together, and others seemed random. As Max and the others closed in on the truth, Amina found herself at the mercy of a desperate crook. I was impressed with Amina's presence of mind during the situation and loved Max's steadiness in2 solving the standoff. There was one surprise yet to come that I didn't see coming until just before it happened.

I loved watching the relationship develop between Max and Amina. Both of them are kind and honorable people. Max respected Amina's marriage and stayed away despite his feelings for her. Even after the divorce, he kept his distance. Amina's hurt over Max's early actions led her to fall under Jeremy's spell, and by the time she knew the truth, it was too late. After Jeremy's death, they could no longer deny the attraction between them. Max's protectiveness kicked in with the attacks on her, but he wasn't overbearing about it. I liked that he appealed to her common sense. I loved watching them get to know each other better and discover how much they had in common. Max was very careful not to push Amina too fast, even though he knew from the beginning that she was the only one for him. There were some very sweet scenes between them, from movie nights to cooking. I loved watching the attraction build also and loved the bubble bath scene. The ending was terrific, as they finally got the future they should have had before.
