~ Synopsis ~
A chance encounter can change everything.
Olivia Moore is your average hard working, down to earth, Aussie chick.
Taking each day as it comes, working in a factory, Olivia is just plodding along through life. She’s resigned herself to the fact she’s not going to get her happily ever after, a husband… kids… because she has given up on men - they lie and cheat, leaving a world of pain in their wake.
Then Olivia meets Joel.
Joel Turner is hard working, down to earth, sexy, kind, fun… in fact, he’s damn near perfect. Joel is exactly the type of man Olivia has always wanted. He stirs emotions in her that have laid dormant for years. He breaks down her walls, forcing Olivia to fall in love and to finally believe fairy tales really can come true.
Until she discovers something that could change it all.
~ Excerpt ~
“Fuck!” Could this day get
any worse?
“So we meet again,” a now familiar voice
spoke softly.
I jumped, still cursing the broken tub of
ice cream and turned to watch Tim Tam guy pushing his trolley to a stop at the
back of the silver ute parked beside mine. What are the chances?
“Well, I feel like I have to introduce
myself now.” He chuckled.
Introduce myself! Why didn’t I think
of that?
He stepped a little closer and held out
his hand.
“I’m Joel and I promise I’m not stalking
you.”
“Olivia,” I said laughing, taking his
hand. It was warm and slightly rough. It was strong and inviting
and very, very hard to let go of. I blinked a couple of times and then
dropped my hand to my side before I made even more of a fool of myself. I
hope he can’t see the sweat on my brow.
“Nice to meet you,” he said with a
genuinely heart pounding smile. “So Olivia, have you eaten?”
I picked up my packet of Tim Tams and
saluted him with them.
“Dinner?” he asked disbelievingly.
“Yep,” I replied.
“You can’t be serious.” He chuckled.
“Deadly,” I said with a smile.
“Could I take you to a real dinner?
Something with a little more nutrition, maybe?” He had a cheeky look on
his face.
“Um…” I’m a sweaty mess, why
is he even asking me?
Oh god, he’s single! And hot!
And asking me out!

How to Liv was a quick enjoyable read that told a the story of Liv and Joel.
Two people who felt underserving of love¸ had secrets and were
ultimately made for one another.
The story begins with an expected grocery story encounter and a love
of Tim Tams. Liv fills her time with
work . She has been hurt in the past and
since has trust issues. So when Joel
asks her out on a date she is floored….but she likes the way he makers her feel
so she agrees. It was fun to watch the
nervous energy between the two and their ability to laugh at themselves turn
into so much more.
Joel is not the usual alpha I tend to read so he was refreshing. He was very likeable and a raging force
between the sheets but I could tell that he was holding back something in the
way he avoided certain topics. When his
secret was revealed I gasped, didn’t see that coming.
Liv resides with her sister and part of her trust issues stem from
her. Let’s just say there was more than
one occasion when I would have liked to give her a piece of my mind. The
secondary characters were very likeable and just as mis-understood which gave
the story more depth. My personal
favorite was Ralene.
Their relationship was a whirlwind. Taking them both by surprise at how
fast the fell for one another but will they be able to put aside the past, move
passed the secrets and hurt and build a future together? Go grab How To Liv and watch their story
unfold.
