Now, I’m a glass half full kinda of guy, so, after the ‘you’re fired’ speech was directed at me, I figure now’s the time to be the screenwriter I came to sunny California to be. Unfortunately, there are about as many people trying to sell a script in L.A. as there are vegans in the pacific northwest.
But lucky for me, a few weeks ago my agent found an investor for my script. Hooray, all my problems are solved! NOT.
Because the investor will only agree to fund my film if I use one specific actress. And that one specific actress? Well of course, it just has to be the same actress I screwed over only months before. But she doesn’t need to know about that one tiny detail, does she? All that matters is getting her to agree to do the film and I’ll do whatever it takes. We can leave the past, in the past, right?
I thought my charm would win her over. Never would I have been prepared for the terms she laid out on the table.
She needed a nanny.
I needed a lead actress.
Somehow I became The Manny.
Absolutely loved this book! Heaven only knows how I managed to read this book while at work, because trying to contain my laughter was an exercise in strength and decorum, and those are two qualities I find quite difficult to maintain, even on the best of days.
So anyway, seeing Vance stepping into the role of a Manny is something you should read for yourself, because the whole thing is hilarious. He has only himself to blame for his current predicament, so I see it as a just desserts type of scenario. His reaction the first time he has to a change a diaper? Friends, I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard. But the more he was around Payne and Via? The more his view on life changed and seeing that change in him was something close to wonderful.
But there's also the chemistry between Vance and Layla that makes this story some kind of awesome. Of course she's not even remotely thinking about a relationship, what with trying to keep her career going while raising two little people, especially since her ex is never around. But as we know, stranger things have happened. The story is also enhanced by Leo and Jagger, Vance's closest friends, and I can't wait until we get to their turn in the relationship spotlight.
Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two established authors for the price of one. You might be wondering if you know us? Maybe you’ll read our books and figure it out. Maybe you won’t. Does it really matter?
We aren’t trying to stamp ourselves with a top-secret label. We wanted to write without apology. We wanted to not be pigeon holed into a specific outline. We wanted to give readers a story without them assuming how the story will flow. Everyone has their favorite authors, right? And when you pick up their books, you expect something from them. Whether it’s an alpha male, heavy angst, a happily ever after, there’s something you are absolutely certain the book will contain. Heck, we’re readers, too, we get it.
What can we tell you about ourselves? We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.
