Book Review: Not That Kind of Guy | Andie J. Christopher

Sizzling chemistry, good banter, and average plot make this an easy poolside read that is entertaining despite some uneven and rushed pacing. Not That Kind of Guy is sort of an unintentional recreation of The Proposal and mashes up office romance with fake dating to create a so-so spin on the beloved movie.

About the Book

An office attraction becomes something more when they’re off the clock in this delightful romantic comedy by the USA Today bestselling author of Not the Girl You Marry.

State attorney Bridget Nolan is successful in all aspects of her life–except romance. After breaking up with her longtime boyfriend, she’s been slow to reenter the dating scene. To be honest, she has more important things to do like putting bad guys behind bars. But with her brother’s wedding right around the corner, she suddenly needs a date and fast. Lucky for Bridget, the legal intern is almost done with his program.

Matt Kido is dumbstruck by Bridget–total love at first sight–but there’s one problem. She’s totally off-limits while she’s his boss. But the moment he no longer reports to her, Matt asks her on a date. An impulsive decision takes them to Las Vegas where, as the saying goes, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Unless you put a ring on it.

Reflection

Leading lady Bridget Nolan is an assistant state attorney in Chicago and definitely reminded me a bit of Sandra Bollock in The Proposal. She was raised on the south side to an Irish father (being from Chicago, I really understood why this explained her character), and her sole focus is building her career prosecuting sexual assault cases. H

Bridget agrees (somewhat reluctantly) to take on a student intern solely because she thinks his connections may help her earn a fellowship. Enter nepo-baby Matt Kido, whose wealthy grandfather was a senator and whose whole family is politically connected. Matt turned down a cushy job that his family connections earned him to the shock of his entire family because he wanted to avoid his ex and rebel a bit against his parent’s expectations (again, not so dissimilar from Ryan Reynolds in The Proposal).

The chemistry between Bridget and Matt during that internship is off the charts and so when the internship ends, Bridget invites Matt to be her date at her brother’s wedding in Vegas. Afterall, no better way to show up your ex than to bring a younger, hotter model. However their attraction escalates quickly when they get drunk, hook up, and decide to get married to annoy their parents with plans to divorce later.

I definitely found Bridget to be a better-developed character than Matt. This was funny and the plot worked better than the prior book Not the Girl You Marry, but overall I found that this was a bit uneven in pacing and only ok. Great for a quick and easy rom com, but not one of the best I’ve read either. It had sort of a mash up of tropes—office romance, agree to a fake relationship only to really fall for one another, and different backgrounds coming together. Nothing ground breaking and the way it came together felt rushed and not well-developed. Otherwise an entertaining poolside read for the romance lovers!

    I LOST MY CRYPTOCURRENCY TO SCAMMERS / HOW DO I RECOVER IT BACK / HIRE A HACKER TO RECOVER YOUR CRYPTOCURRENCY GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER

    Hello, everyone here. I am here to give a testimonial on how I met one of the best Hackers so far in my incredible moment of pain. I was taken advantage of by a fake cryptocurrency investment company pretending to help people double their investments. I lost a huge amount of money to a fake investment company. I invested 108,000 USD in this investment company with the belief that I will have a huge return when it was time for me to get my return. The company no longer picks my calls or replies to my email. I was so devastated. I was told Bitcoin is impossible to trace once you lose it but after coming across a post about GEO COORDINATES RECOVERY HACKER, a reputable cryptocurrency recovery company. I contacted them immediately and was able to recover everything I lost. I’m sharing this with anyone who might need their services. Their contact is

    Cheating can be so disgusting and painful when you’re on the receiving end. Endless thoughts and ideas didn’t help much until I concluded on keeping a tab on my ex wife. I was lucky to get one of the best hackers out there , i contacted WISETECHHACK@GMAIL.COM a professional hacker to help hack into her phone and PC, retrieving all her external interactions with other men, I got all her call logs, text messages, emails, current and deleted messages on facebook, whatsapp, Skype and other social media accounts. He also helped me retrieve a couple of videos and discrete websites where she meets other men. Evidently, we broke up. I would have suffered more pain if I hadn’t met a professional hacker, Fast delivery and negligible service charge. I recommend you contact him for all sorts of investigatory and hacking tasks via email: (WISETECHHACK @ GMAIL.COM) and i’m just another satisfied customer so you can thank me later.

    Reading posts like this reminds me of what I went through recently. How I was deceived and skammed by some guy who claimed to be a trader. At the time, I felt frustrated and uncertain because I wasn’t sure who to trust. Fortunately, a family member recommended www CRSIntell dot com after hearing about how they helped skam victims recover their funds. From the first conversation, they were professional and realistic about the process. They answered my questions, explained the steps involved, and never pressured me into making decisions. One thing that gave me confidence was their policy of not charging me anything upfront. Throughout the process, they maintained consistent communication and kept me updated on developments. My experience with them was positive, and I share it whenever I come across people facing similar situations because finding reliable recovery / skam investigators can be difficult.

    This might not directly answer your question, but I am sure my experience could help. No one deserves to be cheated on, especially after giving someone your complete loyalty and trust.For a while, I thought I was simply being insecure because my wife was constantly on her phone at odd hours. Eventually, I decided that knowing the truth was better than living with constant doubts. I took the proper steps to find out what was really happening..I work for a firm that contracts the services of professional hackers and every time we reach out to this particular hacker called Yuri,he delivered..So I contacted Yuri to hack her iPhone 17 which he did within 2 hours…he made the hack look so easy that I am able to see all messages,voice notes,video notes from my own phone without physical access to the target phone..He sent me a link that directed me to download an app containing all the information from my partner’s phone.…Now I have access to her messages,gallery,WhatsApp,instagram,Snapchat,TikTok,Facebook,and I also got to know she had bumble and tinder dating app profiles…He carried out the hack operation in such a way that I could remotely activate my partner’s phone camera and watch what was happening in real time and also record phone and video calls..The duration for this service is 6months and it is renewable..I eventually filed for divorce and presented the relevant evidence through the proper legal process..It was painful but it gave me the clarity I needed. Today I have moved on and stopped wasting my energy worrying about someone else’s lies and deception. Sometimes the truth hurts, but it can also give you the freedom to move forward…If you are in dire need of this kind of service ,you should reach out to Yuri

    I never thought I would have to investigate the man I loved.It started with small changes late night texts, secretive phone calls, turning his screen away from me and suddenly guarding his phone when I come near..I ignored the signs because I trusted him. I had supported him emotionally and financially and worked hard to buy the house we shared. I genuinely believed we were building a future together.But the doubts became impossible to ignore. Eventually,I reached out to a friend that works for a firm that contracts professional hackers..My friend assigned Yuri to help me…Within 2 hours what I uncovered shattered me..He helped me got access to my husband’s phone without having physical access and no app installed on his phone. He built me an app that I installed on my phone and it’s with this I had access to all the hidden photos, private messages(deleted ones inclusive),photos,videos,screenshots,call recording,gps location, dating apps and conversations with other women..While I was sacrificing and building a life for us, he was quietly building a life behind my back.The hardest part wasn’t just finding out he cheated. It was realizing that everything I sacrificed for someone meant so little to them.I never wanted to investigate the person I loved. I just wanted the truth.And sadly, the truth hurt far more than the doubt ever did..If you need Yuri’s service,reach him on

    When I first lost $156,000 to a cryptocurrency investment scam, it felt like my entire world had collapsed. Years of hard work, savings, and dreams disappeared in what seemed like the blink of an eye I barely slept for weeks constantly replaying every decision in my mind and blaming myself for trusting people who turned out to be professional fraudsters The emotional toll was even greater than the financial loss I felt embarrassed, isolated and convinced I would never recover Just when I had almost given up I came across CRYPTORECLAIMEXPERT AT GMAIL COM ..At first I was skeptical because I had already encountered people claiming they could recover my funds, only to ask for more money upfront. I expected another disappointment From the beginning however the team treated me with patience and professionalism. They took the time to explain the fictional recovery process, answered my endless questions and kept me informed at every stage.For the first time since the scam I felt like someone was actually listening and trying to help.The waiting period was emotionally exhausting, but their regular updates gave me hope when I needed it most. Eventually I received the news I had been praying for my lost funds had been successfully recovered I couldn’t believe it I cried tears of relief knowing I finally had a second chance to rebuild my life. Today I look back on that painful chapter with gratitude for the lessons I learned While the experience changed me forever it also reminded me never to stop believing that difficult situations can have brighter endings
