Neanderthal Seeks Human
by Penny Reid
Published March 13, 2013

This book was a hit for me from the very first page. Funny, quirky, and romantic are just a few descriptions. My teaser is from the first chapter, and you can see why I immediately loved the heroine and her quirkiness.

Teaser:

 

I could see it now: the building security team called in to extract me from the fifty-second floor ladies' room, decimated toilet paper cardboard flesh all around me, my panties still around my ankles as I point accusingly at my coworkers and scream, "Next time replace the roll! Replace the roll!"

Book Blurb:

There are three things you need to know about Janie Morris: 1) She is incapable of engaging in a conversation without volunteering TMTI (Too Much Trivial Information), especially when she is unnerved, 2) No one unnerves her more than Quinn Sullivan, and 3) She doesn't know how to knit.

After losing her boyfriend, apartment, and job in the same day, Janie Morris can't help wondering what new torment fate has in store. To her utter mortification, Quinn Sullivan- aka Sir McHotpants- witnesses it all then keeps turning up like a pair of shoes you lust after but can't afford. The last thing she expects is for Quinn- the focus of her slightly, albeit harmless, stalkerish tendencies- to make her an offer she can't refuse.
