Description

When New York City brings together an East German girl and an American boy—anything can happen—maybe even love—in this story that strays from the typical romance novel in that men and women alike can enjoy.

Moving to New York City was a dream for Brigitte Muller. And so, she moves from her East-German village, enthralled by the idea of what her future could become. At first, things are perfect. She revels in the glamor and intrigue of her new life as a successful banking analyst, but when her boyfriend moves out and in with another girl, Brigitte realizes she needs a roommate, and fast.

The moment want-to-be screenwriter Connor Duncan moves to New York City, things take a turn for the worse. His ex who he thought he would move in with refuses to reconcile, and he’s left homeless in the Manhattan.

Thus, fate brings together Brigitte and Connor, who find themselves fascinated with the fast-paced, ever-present wonders of the city… and each other. With the New York City skyline as their backdrop, they discover more about themselves than they ever imagined.

But despite their blossoming feelings, cracks appear in their foundation. Connor still pines for his ex and isn’t sure he can commit. Brigitte only has three months until her Visa runs out, and the city’s most eligible bachelor is wooing her...

Floyd offers a fun and flirtatious novel that will linger in reader’s minds, well after the last page. “Female Preferred” strays from the usual format of a typical romance novel in that men and women alike can enjoy it.

A sweet love story. The characters are well developed and they had a very special bond. The perfect amount of steaminess and their chemistry was maintained through the story. I love LOVE!

This is such a sweet love story. Romance is one of my favourite genres and I can say that this was a well done romance. The characters were well developed and they had a very special connection. Their chemistry was off the charts, and the steaminess was a perfect amount. They had instant chemistry, and it was maintained throughout the book.

This book always focuses on other themes, like focusing and careers and balancing personal life with that. It's focuses on friendships, and how they can impact you.

[SPOILER AHEAD] And yes, I love a good happy ending, wrapped up with a bow on top. I love a big gesture moment, and steamy kiss at the end and a time gap to show the happy ending. And we got that.

If you're a fan of Jane The Virgin (especially Jane and Raphael) , you might like this too. And all the Ross and Rachel stans are gonna adore this one. I'd personally love to see this as a movie one day because this is gonna be a perfect rom com

The chemistry falls off the pages with the characters in Female Preferred. Quaint, quirky and Judy endearing enough to give you a toothache … in a positive way.

The writing was so playful, also enjoyable to read. Both these characters were so relatable.
If you're looking for something to kick a reading slump or if you just want a fun, romantic book to sweep you off your feet this summer: look no further. Beautiful cover too!

Thank you to Netgalley and Monty C. Floyd for this Arc.

The thing that first stood out to me was the cover, it’s beautiful and was the reason I requested this book.

I loved the story and the characters, but the best part for me was the writing style, I enjoyed how it flicked between first and third person narrative, at first it took me by surprise but as the story went on I loved it, it was different and really held my attention

Thanks to netgalley for the copy of this book.

2 love stories: one between the 2 main characters, and 1 about New York, my favourite location for a book. This book described it like a dream and just strengthened my desire to be there.

The love story between the 2 characters I also loved. I would have enjoyed more detail about Thomas, however I loved at the end there was an update on what all the sub characters were up to as it's not something you get too often.

OMG. This book was so fun! The characters were unique and well rounded, I loved the way the chapters were split into themes. The chemistry between Connor and Bridgette was well crafted and so believable!! And I really liked their ending although I’m not usually a fan of time jumps. I wish it would have been longer!

"If we're destined to be with somebody we love, then that will happen no matter what."

A sweet and spicy love story of Brigitte and Connor. How their path one evening, out of nowhere intertwined and they just happened to be with each other.

From a stranger how they evolved into a couple, a thing! Ivy is from East Germany and Connor is all American. Ivy works hard in a company by staying away from her family to achieve her dream career while on the other hand, Conner is an amateur writer who’s yet to publish his own book.
They both are single. Ivy need a roommate so she don’t have to live alone after her heartbreaks and need a roommate meantime, Connor is desperate about his ex girlfriend and also need a room to accommodate where he can stay and complete his book to a given deadline.
Living together they somehow drawn into each other and started complicated their lives and what happens next is almost too perfect to be a real love story so you need to read the book for yourself!

Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Thank you @NetGalley and mostly @booksgosocial for the #arc in exchange of an honest review.

This is a romance that has its miss and its wins, I won't talk about what is what, because that would be an spoiler, I will only say that give it time, it's worth it.

Loved this story about two strangers finding love in New York. Every little decision and chain of events that can change your life. Finding the person that "feels like home, and can make you laugh.

What an adorable rom-com!

We follow Brigitte, who has just arrived in NYC on a three-month visa. Her boyfriend, whom she was sharing an apartment with, leaves her for another woman and she needs to find a roommate. Connor answers her ad after arriving in NYC from the Midwest, chasing after a girl who is none too happy to see him. While I loved this book, I wish the author had given us more depth to the two main characters.

I would absolutely read another book by this author. I hope he continued with some of these characters!

This sweet rom-com was like biting into a candy apple and savoring the sticky, lingering caramel flavor, much like the love story between the hero and heroine. While following much loved troupes in the romance genre, Female Preferred was humorous in a tongue in cheek way and took me along on a sweeping whirlwind in NYC.

The premise was right up my alley and the ending made my heart melt a little bit.
