I am delighted to feature another romcom by Portia Macintosh. A Lot to Unpack was published on October 2nd by Boldwood Books.
It’s going to be a bumpy ride... 👀
Liberty’s just landed her dream job. The catch? It’s at
Matcher, the dating app that ruined her life. After catching her boyfriend
sending intimate pictures to everyone in a twenty mile radius, Liberty is
struggling to get back into the dating game. Every man gives her the ick sooner
or later.
Still, she’s having a great time travelling the world for
work, until she’s assigned a secret mission: Travel to New York with her
handsome and charming boss Jordan and swap out a contract from under his nose.
It should be easy, but the more time Liberty spends with Jordan, the more she
realises he might not be the bad boy she thought he was. But it turns out
they’ve both got a lot to unpack, and Liberty still needs to complete her
mission if she wants to keep her job - which means not breaking the one golden
rule: do not fall for the boss!
My Thoughts
This is a romcom to make you laugh out loud as you follow Liberty's attempts to make something of her new job. Her own attempts at dating raise a smile as she tries to give online dating a go, even if it is in the name of research for work. I did have to suspend belief that Liberty would take her new job under its rather mysterious conditions but that didn't matter once the story got underway. Liberty takes you on quite a journey and her attempts to carry out her boss's wishes get her into some tricky situations. Nevertheless, she seems to be a master in styling out embarrassing situations and takes you with her though the story. Liberty's trust issues around men after her treatment by her ex-boyfriend mean that she tries to keep Jordan at a distance. However from the start, there is a certain chemistry which often threatens to spark into the open but I did enjoy her 'undercover activities' as she tried to carry out her secret mission. Bold, witty and with a touch of romance, this is a romcom to enjoy.
In short: humour and romance collide
