After reading That Man Next Door, I was immediately a Nadia Lee fan! And with her followup, That Sexy Stranger, I'm HOOKED!!

Sami has been in love with her coworker David for years! And he's broken up with his girlfriend so now is the perfect time for her to make her move. So she dons sexy lingerie and heads to his hotel room... except David is not who opens the door. Instead a hot stranger walks in and he's more than willing to take David's place...

Sami is utterly embarrassed and hightails it out of there. Except That Sexy Stranger Luke just won't leave her alone and doesn't accept that Sami wants David.

A hot coworker romance that makes you LOVE how confident and even cocky Luke is.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

When David breaks up with his long-term girlfriend, it’s the moment Sammie has been waiting for. Sammie decides to surprise David on a business trip by waiting in his hotel room in just lingerie – only its, not David that turns up, its a random guy who thinks Sammie is that evening’s entertainment. Cue Sammie fleeing the scene and hoping like hell to not run into Luke again, except Luke has other ideas.

I really enjoyed That Man Next Door so I was really excited to read this book I was not disappointed. I thought the story was really good. I found myself laughing a lot throughout, there were so many funny moments, particularly the parts involving sex toys in the workplace!

I liked both Sammie and Luke. I thought Sammie was relatable in that like so many of us sometimes do, she has been going after something that she thought she wanted but when she was really honest with herself she realized that she wanted something entirely different. Luke was really lovely I just wish this book had been duel POV’s because I would really have liked to read things from his perspective and see what was going on is his mind.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this story

At first I did not like Sami. She just rubbed me the wrong way, but I absolutely loved Luke. But when Luke and Sami became more...I loved them both. This was a quirky, funny, loveable story that kept me on my toes with what was going to happen next.

When things don't work out the way we plan them to, it takes awhile, sometimes, before we accept the new order of things.

When Sammi meets Luke, she's at first in denial - refusing to believe that her plan to make her boss fall madly in love with her has failed. Sammi is convinced that Luke's the wrong guy, but Luke is persistent; going after her with just the right amount of determination until she realises that the "wrong guy" entered the right room, after all.

This advance copy of the second installment in the Sweet Darlings Inc. was a good read. It's less angst-y than book 1, but just as fun and full of awkward, embarrassing moments and sweet ones, too.

Good read. 3.5 stars. Enjoyable sweet romance with mild drama, humor and steamy chemistry. Really cute first meet for the H/h. Likable quirky heroine with a plan. Sammi was funny with laugh out loud moments but there was a little too much internal dialogue for me. I didn’t read the first story in the series but I think I would’ve understood Sammi better if I had. Really liked Luke and his confidence. Yummy! The drama was fairly easy to figure out and was quickly resolved. Overall a good easy read. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.

Light, funny read that helped bring me out of my book funk.

When Sammi finds out that David, friend/coworker, has broken up with his long-term girlfriend, she feels it is finally time to make her feelings known. While away on a business trip, Sammi decides to it’s take to make her move and waits for him in his hotel room in just lingerie – only it's not David that shows up!! It's some sexy as sin stranger that thinks Sammi is for hire. Sammi escapes with what little dignity she has left and hopes to never see him again. However, fate has other ideas!

When she keeps running into Luke, that sexy stranger, it is harder for Sammi to deny the spark she feels for him but she has had her heart and mind set on David. Which man will win Sammi's heart? Read this fantastic rom-com and find out!!

That Sexy Stranger is the second standalone book in the Sweet Darlings, Inc series. The characters are very likeable and funny and the banter between them is hilarious at times. I hadn't read the first book in this series but didn't feel lost in any way. I will definitely check out other books in this series as the writing was great and it was easy to lose myself in the story and just enjoy a light-hearted read. If you are looking for something with just a little angst and a lot of hotness, then look no further!

That Sexy Stranger is the second standalone book in the Sweet Darlings, Inc series. Stranger is a romantic comedy about when fate steps in to help out where we making mistakes. Sammi is on a business trip with David, her supposed "one" (he just doesn't know it), when she decides to surprise him in his hotel room with sexy lingerie and toys. Imagine her surprise when instead of David in walks Luke instead. Sammi's humiliation is complete when Luke arranges for her to sit next to him on the plane home AND he is employed at Sweet Darlings.

What happens next is the story of a persistent guy who knows how to pour on the charm and a woman who decides to take a chance, kind of. Sammi is the friend you have that while day to day she is a smart, dedicated career woman but when it comes to her lovelife, her head is in the clouds. Luke is the quiet yet determined man that reveals more about himself by his actions than what he says.

Told from Sammi's POV the story has a decent pace and while Sammi's over the top swooning over a guy who is polite but clearly interested elsewhere is a little overplayed, the interactions between Luke and her are sweet and sexy. A perfect read when you are in the mood for a romance with a bit of humor and a touch of heat.

4.5 Stars
This book was hilarious with all the feels. I did feel second hand embarrassment for Sammi a few times. The moment Luke and Sammi met is one that's quite memorable. It also leaves a lasting impression on Luke. Sammi has her life planned out and finally has perfect moment to grab the man of her dreams. One problem what is the man she thinks she wants isn't the one she needs? I can't tell how much my nerd heart rejoiced with the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter references in the book. Two of my favorites.

Nadia Lee won me over as a fan with the first book in the Sweet Darlings series, That Man Next Door. So, I couldn't wait to dive into That Sexy Stranger, the follow-up in the series. Even though this is the second book, it can totally be read as a stand-a-lone. I did enjoy reuniting with some of the characters from the first book though.

Nadia Lee's characters are fun and witty--they're just everyday characters that you'd want to be friends with. Sammie made me laugh out loud on more than a few occasions. Eager to put the moves on a co-worker she's had the hots for for quite some time, she's willing to do whatever it takes to get him. Until a friend of his just happens to get in the way.

Luke was such a great guy and tried his best to have a chance with Sammie. I instantly liked him and found myself really pulling for him. Seems though, Sammi's not ready to forget about David, who just happens to "like the color black."

The story was very engaging and kept my full attention all the way to the end. I laughed, gosh did I laugh, and found That Sexy Stranger to be a very enjoyable read. Nadia's writing is clever and she knows how to make a story delightful for the reader.

Sammi had had her eyes and her heart on David for four years and now that he has broken up with his girlfriend it is the perfect opportunity to show him how she feels. While on a business trip she decides to surprise him in his room complete with lingerie and sexy toys however the surprise is on her when another co-worker Luke is there instead.

Hoping to put her mortification behind her she just wants to go home to wallow in her misery when who has arranged to sit next to her on the flight home but Luke. For two people that seldom saw each other now he seems to constantly be in her orbit but will she finally open her eyes to what she can have or does David still rule her heart?

The author has created characters you can relate to and the banter is humorous. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book.

Entertaining!

Sammi is so funny and quirky! I really enjoyed her character and her relationship with Luke.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

That Sexy Stranger is the second standalone book in the Sweet Darlings, Inc series. I totally love this series for this is RomCom at its finest. Sammi has wanted David for the past 4 years. David is single now so now is her chance. She decides to surprise him in his hotel room with sexy lingerie and toys. But imagine her surprise when it’s not David that walks into the room but Luke instead. Sammi's humiliation is complete when Luke arranges for her to sit next to him on the plane home AND he is employed at Sweet Darlings.
Will Sammi get her chance with David or does ThAssIMWa throw a huge monkey wrench in her plans? This is a story that you have to read to find out what happens and I completely, totally enjoyed every moment. A perfect contemporary romance read when you are in the mood for a romance with a bit of witty humor and a touch of steamy heat.


My Rating: 4.6 stars *****
“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."

That Sexy Stranger by Nadia Lee is book Two in the "Sweet Darlings Inc." series. This is the story of Luke and Sami. I have read the previous book but feel this is easily a standalone book.
Sami has been hot for her boss David for about 5 years. But he has been in a relationship but that has now ended. So Sami knows that this is her time to make her move on him and to move past the social media stalking. Working to get into his hotel room and dressing in sexy clothes she knows this is her chance....until it isn't. Who walks in but a stranger who is named Luke, and reports that he is David's friend. Luke says that David didn't like the room and they switched. Sami and Luke butt heads and she gets up with her box of 'toys' and leaves. But that isn't the last of Luke who set in motion for them to meet again.
Loved this story!
