Blurb:

I’ve always been textbook people pleaser with third-degree middle child syndrome.

Putting everyone else first with a smile on my face was working out pretty well for me when out of nowhere, Archer Bliss — a growly single dad — drops a bomb on my carefully constructed happy life.

It seems my boyfriend has been cheating on me with Archer’s girlfriend. Even worse? She’s my coworker and secret archnemesis.

The old me would have forgiven them and wished them the best.

But the new me has had enough.

So, I do the (ir)rational thing and dump my lunch all over the backstabbing cheaters. Then I plant a kiss right on Archer’s very kissable lips right in front of both of them.

That’s right — I started a war by serving up a dish called revenge, which is best served with lips and lo mein. 

And now, I’ve somehow teamed up with this hunky beast of a man to get even with our cheating exes.

At least it started that way, but now it’s an excuse to spend time together… some of which is horizontal.

The catch? He’s got three kids who need him, and I’m still trying to figure out who I am. Starting a romance with each of us fresh out of a messy breakup is only asking for trouble.

But the new me likes trouble.

And Archer Bliss is trouble with a capital T.

My Review:

#SingleDad #RomanticComedy #FamilySeries #ARC

5 STARS

Jackie Walker has another winner in this book.  CJ Amos finally finds a man who deserves her in Archer Bliss.  Their story is written in first person from an alternating dual POV.

CJ: marine biologist, kind, hard-working, helpful, loyal, and gorgeous.  Archer: hot, single dad of three kids, business owner, mission-oriented, loving, family man.

These two characters meet during a very bad day when they discover that CJ’s boyfriend, Danny, has been cheating with Archer’s girlfriend, Becki.  I love how they get together and how they build love and trust with each other.  I love they steamy scenes between them.  I laughed out loud on multiple occasions; this book made me smile.  I adore that they both have family support in their lives.   The Amos family text thread never fails to disappoint for laughs.  Seriously, they are a lot like my family when we are together. And Archer’s kids- let me just say that I fell head over heels for all of them.  Adorable- even the teenager.  I love that CJ and Archer are both in their 40’s and are mature characters who can have a relationship without childish drama.

There are subplots involving co-worker drama (with awesome pranks included), Archer’s ex-wife, self-esteem,  trust, finding your voice, and family-both born and chosen.  I loved the growth that CJ experiences because of Archer’s love and trust.  I love how well they communicate with each other, sometimes without words. Finally, I adore the relationships that CJ and her family build with Archer’s children: absolutely priceless.  You want to read this book.


Praise for the novel:

"Jackie Walker has another winner in this book. I love that CJ and Archer are both in their 40's and are mature characters who can have a relationship without childish drama. You want to read this book" - Judy Lynn Loves Books

 

"Jackie did it again with another HILARIOUS romcom that was also full of spice, emotion and super swoon worthy moments that yanked at these heartstrings of mine." - Michelle, GoodReads Reviewer

 

"I want to be an Amos-hole!" - Debbie, GoodReads Reviewer

 

"This is the fourth book in the Amos family saga and it is the best! I have actually said this after the last two, but they just keep getting better." - Lisa, GoodReads Reviewer



Author Bio:

One day during the COVID quarantine (a.k.a. the dark time), Jackie was reading yet another laugh a minute rom-com by Lucy Score or Pippa Grant, and she thought to herself - hey, I can do that. And so, she did and it turned out even better than even she thought possible.

Jackie is a fresh face on the romance author scene destined to shake things up with her signature blend of light-hearted comedy, over the top characters and romantic heartwarming moments. A voracious romance reader herself, Jackie writes stories featuring the four S's: Snark, Swoons, Steam and Sarcasm. Her heroines are bad-ass and her heroes are easy on the eyes and heavy on the charm.

When she is not writing funny stories about swoony heroes and the women who get to play with them, she is reading all types of romance novels or taking care of her army of cats and her teenage son (who also speaks fluent sarcasm).

Book reviews for books read June 1st-14th

  Happy weekend!  It has been a busy couple of weeks but I managed to read 6 books. Two ARCs, and four books from my TBR. I have been working on reading the backlist of Swati M.H., and managed to read all but one of her books prior to assisting her at the HEA Reader Event in Indianapolis on June 7th. Then I joyfully read two ARCs, both over 400 pages. Then I needed something a little different. I needed to break away from traditional, contemporary romance and was able to fit in a paranormal rom com and a monster romance. Now I am back to ARCs.  There are so many good books to read. I am exceedingly grateful to the authors who have written and are writing books that suck me into their imaginary worlds. Thank you authors for giving me a way to escape reality for a little while and guaranteeing me that happy ending. Till next time, happy reading.

Book reviews for books read September 21st-30th

  This review post is late due to a family emergency that happened about ten days ago now. I feel like I am finally getting my self together a little bit today and was able to put this together finally. During the last week of the month, I read one ARC, one book for book club, and three smutty novellas. Check out my reviews and add so books to your TBR today. My month in review. September turned out to be a good reading month for me. Most of the ARCs that I read that released in September, I actually read in August. That freed up some time to read from my TBR and finish two reading challenges. During the last week of the month, I finished the A to Z reading challenge. Earlier this month, I completed the B.A.N.G. Book Club reading challenge. I also took this as an opportunity to read new-to-me authors and fit in several novellas. Out of the 23 books I read and the 2 I did not finish, I read 19 new-to-me authors! That has to be a record for me. There is a place for smutty insta-love ...

Book reviews for books read October 20th-31st

  I read two arcs in the second part of October. They were both wonderful reads. Obviously, my personal life has impacted my reading as I only finished 5 books this month. I can't tell you when the last time was that I read so little. The positive part was all of the books I read this month were very good. Until next time, happy reading! Can't Believe You Came (Mile High Matched #5)  by Christina Hovland ARC: Release Date- 10/24/2025 #CinnamonRollHero #OppositesAttract #ARC I am voluntarily writing this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. It is written in third person, can be read as a standalone, and ends with a HEA. I have loved this series from the beginning. It is wonderful to finally see the last Dvornakov get their HEA. Zach is a cinnamon roll hero to love. He falls first, fast, and hard for Piper. Piper, who is type A personified, does her best to control every situation she is in and Zach is an outlier. His calm and steady presence c...
