It’s Not PMS, It’s You

by Rich Amooi

I am happy to introduce author Rich Amooi to you, although he may need no introduction. According to his Amazon bio, he writes “Quirky Romantic Comedies from a Guy’s Perspective.” He has written 14 popular Romantic Comedies to date. The book I am featuring today is the first I have read by him, but I just know it is his best one yet! Real characters meet real life, and wonderful entertainment ensues! Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources for a review copy and for the opportunity to be on this tour.

“Romantic Comedy of the Year!”
“I loved every second of this book!”
“Warning: This author causes book hangovers.”
“Oh my. Be still my heart.”
“Laugh out loud of epic proportions.”
“Loved it. Still laughing.”

Ruth “Ruthless” Harper is on the verge of becoming managing partner at her all-male consulting firm and she won’t let anything stand in her way. That includes men, relationships, and that dreaded F word, FEELINGS—distractions she eliminated long ago.

After the worst day ever (a near-death experience and a public wedgie, for starters), Ruth realizes she doesn’t want to live and die alone. She puts together a business plan to find the perfect man and dives head first into the murky online dating pool. All she wants is a high-powered executive who understands how important her career is. If only it were that easy.

Problem is most men are intimidated by Ruth’s confidence and shocked by her bluntness. The exception being her landscape designer, Nick, whose cool demeanor and unsolicited dating advice are driving her nuts. He’s the antithesis of the business-oriented man Ruth envisions for herself, so why do all signs keep pointing back to him?

JENA’S REVIEW

It’s Not PMS, It’s You by Rich Amooi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to be honest, I did not like the title of this book. Although after reading and loving the whole story, perhaps it is a bit tongue-in-cheek. But still. Moving on from the title, everything about this book is fun, entertaining, positive, encouraging and a pleasure and a joy to read. Mr. Amooi’s bio on Amazon tells us that he writes Quirky Romantic Comedies from a Guy’s Perspective.

So, let’s dive into this charmer, with a quick recap. The character pictured on the cover of the book is Ruth “Ruthless” Harper. She has always been a “Type A” performer and is well-educated and striving hard to be the managing partner at her business consulting firm. For 10 years she has worked non-stop to reel in the best clients. Then one day, she has an epiphany at the luggage carousel in an airport.

Turns out Ruth isn’t all hard nails and brass knuckles. She begins to realize that under her hyper-focused façade is still the nice girl who loves her parents and grandparents, and adores her best friend and secretary, Dee. In fact, it is Dee who has planted a seed and encouraged Ruth to transform her outdoor patio area into a calm oasis. When Ruth gets home from her life changing experience, she meets the landscape architect Nick and his partner Brandon, and the seed of change begins to sprout and grow.

Ruth decides she needs a lover and so she applies all her business principles to create a plan to find the perfect partner. Ruth mentions her love of Lucy Arnez and “I love Lucy” and as we get to know Ruth, she really is like Lucy in a lot of ways. Ruth is witty, bubbly, very pretty, a bit prone to embarrassing mayhem, bright and eager. Especially when she’s with Nick.

But she does have to meet quite a few toads before she finds her prince and her dating escapes are so funny, especially the speed dating night. (Her disaster starts when she is given a nametag with a typo- her name has been spelled as “Reth”.) When business dealings threaten to blow up her life, her strong foundation of love and support enables her to choose the right path.

This book abounds with real and appealing characters. Dee is a good counterweight to Ruth and manages to find some romance, too. Nick the landscape designer is in many ways like Ruth, good-looking, a hard-worker, and talented and a bit further along the path of enlightenment than Ruth is. And Ruth’s parents are the best! And there’s an adorable dog, too. The book is written in first person, with a clear and fast-paced style,

“There was nothing sexier in the world than a confident woman.”

Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources for a review copy. This is my honest review.
