This is Charlie N. Holmberg's first foray into the contemporary romance genre and she rocked it. I've loved her books for a long time now. Having read nearly all of her backlist, I knew the writing was going to be good. She has long been able to create adorable and charming romantic relationships in her fantasy works.
You're My I.T. is a super sweet story and it definitely feels solidly Holmberg. The story centers on a technical writer (Blaine) and an I.T. specialist (Lysander) working in the same company in the Happy Valley area of Utah. (Holmberg always has a knack for coming up with fantastic character names.) The relationship between the two characters is just adorable, such a great friendship and a great handling of the emotional conflict that Blaine has in her progressing feelings for Lysander.
I'm familiar with the setting, so there were a few bits and references that made me smile and really connected me with the story even more. The characters were well done and the miscommunication trope is fantastically and naturally executed.
The narrative is told in dual narration style, which really worked well. I enjoyed getting to see both sides of the miscommunication and misunderstandings. Lysander was a particularly interesting character since we don't often get the kind of male perspective he provides. I really appreciated the handling of his situation and found it to feel incredibly authentic.
I really enjoyed this read. It was nice and relaxed and just a perfect feel good read. I was so wrapped up in the last third that I stayed up until 2 am to find out how it ended. Definite page turner.
Though this is part of a series, the second book is more of a companion novel. Regardless, You're My I.T. stands solidly on its own. The ending is well crafted and ties up a great portion of the novel neatly.
If you're looking for a cute relationship and a light romance, then this is your book. It would be a perfect summer read. Just adorable. And for those looking for the romance genre without the addition of sexually explicit content, You're My I.T. will also hit the mark.
