About this ebook

First, there’s only one office. Then, there’s only one bed. Then, there’s only one condom.

I’m over the moon when I land my first-ever writing job on a new TV show that’s like, da bomb. So what if my old boss twisted her son’s arm to get me the job?

I’m not so enthused when I have to share an office the size of a broom closet with a grumpy guy who ignores me. I don’t care if he’s totally fly. I’ve got enough on my plate trying to come up with high concept storylines and punchy dialogue for hormone-filled teenagers—the actors and the characters—while being hazed in the writers’ room.

Things begin to heat up between us on a work trip to the gorgeous coastal filming location for our show, but when a hurricane threatens, sharing an office is the last thing we need to worry about.

Fans of TV shows like Dawson’s Creek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer will love this throwback 1990’s forced proximity, partners to lovers, road trip romcom with an unconventionally geeky hero.

I really enjoyed this funny, sweet and steamy story. This is about Tina and George, the two new writers for Lawson’s Reach TV show, whom we met in the first book. They have an awkward first meet, but working together in their small space, and having different writing styles, make them a perfect writing team. I loved them and the quirky way they see life. I loved the clever way Grey wrote this story with hilarious cartoonish descriptions that made me visualize everything so completely.

If you’ve read the other books in this series you will recognize the characters and some of the events. This was a great side story to give us a little more insight into Tina and George. George and Tina are new to their jobs and meet on their first day. Their working conditions are interesting which forces them to work in close quarters and get to know one another. This is a fun, quick read with laughs, banter and some heat.

This very cute novella is part of the Carolina Classics series. It tells the story of Tina and George who we first saw in "You Get What You Give" and will apparently continue to see in future stories. It's sweet, short (obviously, being a novella), and to the point, but is just as fun and a story worth telling as the other stories within the series. I was intrigued by Tina and George when reading "You Get What You Give". It is a treat having the gaps filled in with this relook through their point of view. Familiar but new at the same time. A worthwhile quick read.
