Ruth “Ruthless” Harper is on the verge of becoming managing partner at her all-male consulting firm and she won’t let anything stand in her way. That includes men, relationships, and that dreaded F word, FEELINGS—distractions she eliminated long ago.
After the worst day ever (a near-death experience and a public wedgie, for starters), Ruth realizes she doesn’t want to live and die alone. She puts together a business plan to find the perfect man and dives head first into the murky online dating pool. All she wants is a high-powered executive who understands how important her career is. If only it were that easy.
Problem is most men are intimidated by Ruth’s confidence and shocked by her bluntness. The exception being her landscape designer, Nick, whose cool demeanor and unsolicited dating advice are driving her nuts. He’s the antithesis of the business-oriented man Ruth envisions for herself, so why do all signs keep pointing back to him?
A romantic comedy novel for the ages. Order now. Don't delay. Operators are standing by.

Before even the end of the first chapter I was laughing my head off.
There is just something about Ruth and some of the embarrassing situations she gets herself into that are just so so amusing. Then again, really early on, there was a moment of high drama that shows that the author isn't just great with comedy, he can really amp up the adrenaline too.
That being said don't read the opening chapters on a plane if you are a nervous flyer!
I love Nick and Ruth, they are fabulous, complete and utter opposites but any scenes they are both in together are just so amusing and fun to read. I also loved Ruth's banter with her best friend Dee.
Oh and Ruth's attempts at online dating, I've not seen that set of scenarios play out before, completely hilarious. And if you like a lot of food based talk keep your eyes out for Bagel Barney.
Oh and Karma is fabulous, so so adorable and a really touching moment involving her too.
There is just so much to enjoy in this book, I really loved it all. Rich Amooi is fast becoming one of my favourite rom com authors. The writing flows so well, the characters are great, and I love the dialogue. If you want to read a really amusing book, then I definitely recommend this one.
Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

It sounds like you loved this but... with all due respect... it sounds way to predictable and romantic for my taste.
