Love & War

ARC for honest review with no compensation Love & War is the 4th book in the Texas Billionaire Club while part of a series it is a standalone. What a great laugh out loud funny, sparring pets (cat and dog), comedy of misinformation and romance to boot… book by these two sister authors, Elle James and Delilah Devlin. Sophie Keaton is a petite, strong willed, beautiful woman who works in an art gallery by day but is also a lieutenant in the National Guard and is in charge of a platoon. While out on maneuvers with the guard her new platoon commander shows up (during a rainstorm) she asks to have a truck come get them but her new commander decides to make them do night maneuvers which ends in disaster….she wears her glasses, is kultzy and looks rather homely….that is according to her new commander Captain Gabe Jenkins. Gabe Jenkins a self-made billionaire in construction and a lieutenant in the National Guard. He moves into a rental home next door to this beautiful, petite, sexy woman named Sophie who he is attracted to except he doesn’t know she’s also his LT Catherine Keaton, a homely, klutzy, small woman with big black glasses as he describes her. Little does he know that he has met Sophie before…his one night stand that he keeps searching for! With help from Sophie’s half-brother, Bryce who lives with her and Gabe thinks they are a couple, the guys in their platoon trying their hand at match making, misleading information from Bryce and sparring pets to help along the way can these two find their way to a HEA???

Sophie feels like her love life is a failed training mission. Gage's friends have all found Ms Right and tell him it's his turn. Gage feels he doesn't have time due to serving his country. When Sophie and Gage met for the first time, it's anything but smooth. Sophie's brother interferes and laugher ensues. Laugh while you read the ups and downs of family interference in the love story of Sophie and Gage. The story will keep you entertained and laughing until the end, and wanting more.

Love & War just about had me rolling on the floor laughing. I was definitely laughing out loud – so much so that my husband wondered what I was reading and had me read sections to him. It's the 4th book in the Texas Billionaires Club but it easily stands alone. I highly recommend the other books, however, as they are also great stories. I enjoy all of the books that I've read by these two sister authors – both what they write together and individually – but I don't seem to get around to reading a lot of romantic comedy these days. I'm so glad that I was asked to do a beta read of this book for them; it was a refreshing change from what I've been reading lately. Gage and Sophie don't meet under the best of circumstances and she certainly didn't make a good impression on him. He thinks she's clumsy and not really any good in the Army National Guard. Sophie hates how judgmental her new boss is and doesn't want to have anything to do with him. When she realizes he's the man that she made passionate love to all night recently she can't believe it and vows to stay clear of him. Add in a crazy cat named Cujo, a dog named Rambo and her sneaky, prankster brother, Bryce, and you have the recipe for a deliciously funny and romantic story. If you like romantic comedy I can't recommend this one highly enough.
