Laurie's Reviews > The Substitute

Oh, how fun it is to return to The Single In Seattle series by Kristen Proby!! This time we get to watch Maya Sterling, sister to Grayson and Sydney Sterling, get her HEA!! Now that Maya’s mom is doing much better health wise Maya is able to pursue her own life’s dreams. Maya starts by moving to Seattle to be near her siblings and takes a job as a temp in hopes of figuring out what she wants to do with her life. Her first assignment is to be personal assistant to Derek Langley (lawyer). Derek is a very handsome attorney who just can’t seem to keep an assistant to save his life until Maya. In his words, “I’ve never had such a visceral reaction to a woman within minutes and she is my bloody assistant!”. Yep ladies, Derek is British!! Love those British accents!! Oh, I forgot to tell you Derek is handsome, an alpha-hero, and once you get to know him you realize that he has a heart-of-gold. Maya has the perfect personality to go head-to-head with Derek and his grumpy/true British personality. Maya also learns to accept and embrace her true desire of what she wants out of life. To me that is one of the most beautiful parts of Maya and Derek’s story. Love the banter between Derek and Maya, it is so fun, sassy, and s*xy. Spice level….get a fan ladies!! This is a great little story for such a deserving character! If you have read and loved any Kristen Proby book you will also love, The Substitute.
