The Rom Con by Devon Daniels
4.0
funny lighthearted fast-paced

This was a super fun story to get lost in. Cassie is a writer at a women's online publication and after meeting a rival owner of a men's sexist e-zine, Jack, and reading her Grandmother's antiquated book from the 1950s dating guide, she decided she will use the tips to ensnare Jack in his "sexist ways" and expose/embarrass him.

What follows is a hilarious "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days"-esque  adventure. Everything Cassie tried from the book tips backfires because Jack is a genuinely nice guy. 

I like Cassie and what her conviction allows her to do once she realizes what publishing any article could do to her budding relationship. I really liked Jack a whole lot but didn't quite understand fully why he stayed at a publication that went against his nature even after he explained.

But this book I read in a span of hours and I really enjoyed every minute of it.
