BLURB:
Bookshop owner, Georgie Jensen, is done with shallow jerks. Her Own the Eights blog dishes out advice on how to steer clear of egotistical creeps only concerned with looks
and status. Her focus is finding one’s true soulmate—not the superficial ten but the solid, reliable eight.
Jordan Marks is the city’s top fitness trainer who won’t settle for anything less than
the best. His blog promotes working hard, playing harder, and striving to always
be—you guessed it—a ten.
When these two opposites are forced to team-up for an online competition,
opinions clash and mouse pads fly.
The twist? There can only be one winner, and if Georgie wants to keep her
shop open, that winner needs to be her.
But the more time this eight and this ten spend together, the more they learn
that, when it comes to love, a number might not be what matters the most.
Own the Eights is a steamy rom-com full of heart, heat, and oodles of
laugh out loud moments!

REVIEW: OWN THE EIGHTS BY KRISTA SANDOR
Own the Eights by Krista Sandor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sandor has a gift for speaking to the most vulnerable part of a person. Whether with laughter or deep emotion, her stories take aim at involving readers heartfirst before appealing to anything else. Georgie is a character that sets out to make you laugh to cover up the insecurities that hide underneath her smile. Jordan uses realism to shield his own inner feelings of doubt. Own the Eights is more than just a light-hearted romp for laughs. It's a deeply moving pathway of finding truth and living life at it's best. Humor that tackles real emotion is great storytelling.

EXCERPT
“I’m going to kiss you, Georgie, and it’s going to be the best kiss you’ve ever had.”
“Doubtful,” she answered in a tight breath.
He tilted her head, and her warm breath tickled his lips. “There’s something you need to know about me.”
“What’s that?” she asked as she gripped his forearms.
“I don’t settle for anything less than the best. I work damn hard. I finish everything I start, and I always win.”
She bit her lip. “That’s too bad.”
“Oh yeah?” he breathed.
“Yeah. Prepare yourself to lose this competition and this kiss challenge because I’ll tell you right now, I have more determination in my little finger than you do in your entire perfect, muscle-bound body.”
