When opposites collide/ attract

Synopsis

Two rival radio personalities. Lori Martin is a positive and upbeat DJ, known for playing love songs and dedications. Ben Baxter dishes out no-nonsense, in-your-face relationship advice. Total opposites. Never in a million years would they want to work together.

Fired for losing her cool after her boyfriend breaks up with her on the air, Lori surprisingly receives a job offer for the coveted morning show at the radio station across town where Ben works. She thinks she’s replacing him, but finds out they want to team up Lori with her archenemy to set the air waves on fire and boost ratings. Financially strapped, she can’t turn down the job.

While their on-air fireworks and explosive chemistry make for great listening, what in the world will happen after work hours?

My review

Lori Martin enjoys her job as a radio host. Her night show is all about love songs and dedications for the listeners’ loved ones.

But when during her show she loses her cool after her boyfriend breaks up with her ON THE AIR, she finds herself fired…

Finding a new job on another radio station is not so easy. So when she gets the offer to be the host on a morning show, she is over the moon. Especially that her new job leans that she is going to replace Ben Baxter.

Ben’s show is totally the opposite of Lori’s. He hates love songs, and has no pity for his listeners. He speaks his mind and is not afraid of to suggest to break up a relationship!

But Lori is not replacing Ben at all, she is going to be his co-host! How are they going to be able to work together on a show when their visions are so different?

I looked so forward reading this book, hoping it would as good as I hoped.

But oooh me of little faith! How dared I even have a glimpse of fear? This book brought me so much joy and made me laugh and smile and I just couldn’t put the book away!

It seems a rather simple story. A woman finds herself single and without a job. And when she starts working at her new job, her colleague is just intoreable.

But the author managed to write a story on a higher level, it just was perfect in every way.

Both Lori and Ben are strong characters. They know what they want and won’t allow anyone to make them change direction.

But when obligated to work together, that’s just asking for trouble.

The banter they had, was just hilarious to read. Neither one of them wanted to give the other a win, resulting in a great show, with high ratings.

Spending time together during work, means also they get to know each other better. And they realise that, even if they have a different opinion on some matters, they agree on many too… Even despite the orders from their boss of not dating each other, they keep spending time together after work.

But it’s not just a ‘colleagues fall in love’ story, because the characters go deeper than that. Both Lori and Ben keep challenging each other, pushing each other, ready for the next move. They push each other to be a better version of themselves.

I truly enjoyed every bit of this book, happy with getting to know Lori and Ben better. But also sad, realising that the futher I got in the book, the quicker I would read the end.

I found it a beautiful story, with many laughs, some sad moments. But also being thaught again that there is always more than meets the eye, and that opposites do attract, but only if it’s the right person!
