Book Review : Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon



Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon
Genre : Contemporary Romance
Publisher Berkley Books
Publication Date July 4th, 2023
Chandler Cohen has never felt more like the ghost in "ghostwriter" until she attends a signing for a book she wrote—and the author doesn’t even recognize her. The evening turns more promising when she meets a charming man at the bar and immediately connects with him. But when all their sexual tension culminates in a spectacularly awkward hookup, she decides this is one night better off forgotten.

Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done. Her next project is ghostwriting a memoir for Finn Walsh, a C-list actor best known for playing a lovable nerd on a cult classic werewolf show who now makes a living appearing at fan conventions across the country. But Chandler knows him better from their one-night stand of hilarious mishaps.

Chandler’s determined to keep their partnership as professional as possible, but when she admits to Finn their night together wasn’t as mind-blowing as he thought it was, he’s distraught. He intrigues her enough that they strike a deal: when they’re not working on his book, Chandler will school Finn in the art of satisfaction. As they grow closer both in and out of the bedroom, they must figure out which is more important, business or pleasure—or if there's a way for them to have both.

 Rachel's books always have such relatable and wonderful characters so it shouldn't be a surprise that I loved this one too! I think this one had such a healthy and beautiful relationship where both parties were willing to communicate and listen to each other - and that was definitely my favorite part!⁣
Chandler Cohen is a ghostwriter who's been feeling a little lost and when she attends the signing of a book that she'd worked on, the influencer/author doesn't even recognize her. And when she turns to the bar to blow off some steam she meets a sweet and charming guy and decides to spend the night with him. Though it starts off well it kinda ends in an unsatisfactory manner for heršŸ˜‚ Chandler sneaks out hoping to put this one night stand behind her, but imagine her surprise when she gets a new project to ghostwrite a memoir for Finn Walsh, an actor who played a supporting role on a supernatural show and he ends up being the one from the previous nightšŸ¤£⁣
I think I've been enjoying many books these days that feature sex lessons as a part of the plot and it's very refreshing to have one that has so much open communication! It's hard to meet people who take criticism constructively so having a love interest like Finn who is such a good listener and willing to learn made both Chandler(and me) happy šŸ˜† He's so sweet and earnest! And Chandler was so relatable but at the same time I wished I was as confident as her! I think it was very realistic because while she was comfortable teaching Finn, she was also afraid to go out of her comfort zone in terms of writing. The mental health rep was also another favorite of mine! Also I kept thinking about Teen Wolf while reading this one šŸ¤£⁣
In the end, this was another RLS book that I absolutely loved and I think many others will too!❣️✨
