Synopsis: A charming and wildly funny new romantic comedy by Kerry Rea, author of The Wedding Ringer.
Lucy
Rourke has two great loves in her life: the gorilla troop she cares for
as a primatologist and the laundry list of reality TV shows she watches
to escape the fact that her actual love life doesn’t exist. And like a
reality contestant gunning for the final rose, Lucy’s laser-focused on
one thing: getting promoted to head keeper. So when a wildlife
docuseries hosted by hotshot TV personality Kai Bridges chooses her zoo
as its summer filming location, she sees an opportunity to showcase her
beloved gorillas to the world and land a starring role in her
department.
When Kai and his film crew arrive, however, it's obvious to Lucy that Kai cares more about sky-high ratings than the gorillas, and he considers her a camera-averse know-it-all whose wardrobe consists entirely of khaki. But she’s surprised to discover there’s more to him than his rugged good looks and cheesy catchphrases...and that maybe a promotion isn’t the only thing she wants. But when secrets from their pasts threaten to complicate everything, Lucy discovers that happiness and success aren’t the same thing—and that finding joy just might mean getting a little wild. (Synopsis from Goodreads)

My Thoughts: This was cute, fun, and I really enjoyed it. I loved the setting and Lucy's job. It was fun reading about a zookeeper. I don't know that I have before. I also loved the reality TV angle. These characters live in two vastly different worlds, which makes them coming together so fun. I'm also always happy to have another rom com to read. There's nothing better than romance and funny situations.
This was a good time. It did take a bit to warm up to Lucy. She could be a little immature, but it was nice seeing her grow.
I'd say give this one a read. It's good.
Kerry Rea is a 2017 and 2019 #PitchWars mentee. Her work has appeared in Seventeen magazine. She lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband and four dogs. The Wedding Ringer is her debut novel.
