“The reliable one who makes her laugh…or the hot one she can’t believe chose her.”

Ruth Jones loves her boyfriend Justin. He is handsome, has a killer body, and the sex is awesome. He does have one major fault though. He travels so much with work that she only gets to see him once or twice a week, and that is his reasoning for always wanting to…stay in. She’s dissatisfied with this arrangement; all she wants is for people to get to know her boyfriend. Okay, so she wants them to see she has a hunk of a boyfriend, but is that so wrong?

When Ruth wakes up in a hotel room one morning suffering from a major hangover, she tries to piece the events of the previous night together. Feeling let down by yet another no-show by Justin at a work function, she’d headed to the bar and ordered a drink. The last thing she remembers is sitting next to an average-looking guy with a nice accent and large hands and wondering just what those hands could do given half the chance. When the bathroom door opens, and Mr. Average walks out, she realises that at the ripe old age of thirty-three, Ruth Jones has experienced her first one-night stand.

Review

By Aubrey Wynne

I’ll just say it. I love Rawson’s down-to-earth, it-could-really-happen-to-me kind of romances. Full of drama, humor, and everyday decisions that we all make. I’m Your Man was originally a novella. The novel is even better, letting us get to know the characters better and fill in some of the blanks from the shorter version.

Ruth is mad about Justin, Mr. Traveling Man—because he’s hot. He constantly avoids socializing with her in public, using the excuse he doesn’t get to see her much. Some of her friends at work think she’s made him up. The others think she deserves better. So after another disappointment, and drunken spree to cheer herself up, Ruth wakes up with a stranger.

Danny, the one-night stand, who ends up being the man she SHOULD be looking for, isn’t invisible. But he’s not the hottie she wants to show off to her friends. He’s average, nice, and doesn’t mind commitment. He also doesn’t mind being her date at public events. Or spoiling her rotten. But Justin is so…

Rawson combines her usual sense of humor with a compassionate look at being single and struggling to find love AND the perfect guy in your thirties. It brought back some memories for me and made me root and cheer for Ruth and Danny. A thoroughly satisfying chick-flick romance. 5 stars!!!!
