How To Get Over Your Ex (Mills & Boon Modern Tempted) (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Georgia proposes on-air and, when her boyfriend turns her down, she makes a run for it. Unfortunately, she has a contract. Luckily, the person who helps her make her escape has gone through something similar and wants to help her.Instead of spending $50,000 and a year setting up her perfect wedding, Georgia spends the year trying new things. She doesn't want to fix herself, but find herself. Zander's in the position to see that she gets what she wants, as the man who designed the promotion in the first place. He follows along with her, recording segments to air throughout the year. He's got plenty of free time, since work is pretty much his life. Georgia figures out what she wants in her life and what she's willing to give up to have it -- even if it's someone she loves. 4 ½ Stars ~ Fighting back her tears of humiliation, Georgia's only goal is to sneak out of the radio station unseen. She'd just been utterly rejected on-air in the ears of millions of listeners. She's ever so grateful for the kindness of the man who joins her in the elevator and shields her from curious eyes and then helps her escape the building through the employee garage. Zander's on-air Valentine's Promotion took a turn no one had ever dreamed. The poor woman's marriage proposal had been rejected, a possibility no one had even considered. There went his ratings boosting project, and as Station Manager he had to think quick on how to use this PR surprise to their advantage. But while shielding her in the elevator, Zander couldn't help empathizing, he knew what public humiliation was all about. Somehow he'd have to make this a win-win for both the station and for Georgia. As she'd signed a contract for a year's promotion of her engagement in exchange for an all expenses paid wedding, Georgia knows she'll have to work with the radio station in some way. Zander's idea of using the year as some sort of make-over project intrigues her. Obviously something must be lacking in her for Dan to not accept her proposal and then gently let her down afterwards. He'd been crystal clear on-air that their relationship was only just fun. Agreeing to spend her free time for the next year with self-improvement courses she knows is the only solution for a win for the radio station, but she had only two stipulations; the station is to leave Dan out of everything, and the only person she'd allow to tale along with her would be Zander. Bravo to Ms. Logan! The opening elevator scene just grabs the heart. I was immediately drawn to Georgia's bravery. While her hopes and dreams were dying inside of her, she held herself together. I wanted to hug Zander when he suggested she stand behind him so that she'd be blocked from view of the people outside the elevator doors. This year of self-improvement proves to be a year of learning for both Georgia and Zander. And as each event brings something new into Georgia's life, she comes to realize that she'd never really needing fixing. She's already a person she'd love to have as a friend. Zander sees in Georgia a love for life and he envies her. Suddenly, he can't avoid the emptiness of his life that he's always been able to ignore. The get-away in Turkey is incredibly vivid, not only for the chemistry between Zander and Georgia, but for descriptives of the landscape and atmosphere. This is a place I'd love to travel to. Ms. Logan wraps up this lovestory as riveting as she opened it. This HEA is definitely sigh worthy. This is one for the keeper shelf.Up next is Dan's story, The Guy to Be Seen With by Fiona Harper.
