My Review
My first thought when I started reading this book was, “Ugh. Not another billionaire.” And then I learned Brennen was a damaged womanizer. Double ugh. But in no time at all, this bad boy billionaire I wanted to hate had worked his way into my heart and had me cheering for Team Brennen. Ms. Sandor must be some kind of wordsmith wizard because I’m jaded when it comes to this trope. And I’m doubly jaded when it comes to a hero who has a warped perception of some past event that he uses as an excuse for bad behavior. But again, Team Brennen all the way, so brava, Ms. Sandor!
Abby Quinn has sworn off men for the next seventy-four days. She has a new job teaching first grade at an affluent private school in a new city. She plans to focus on the children in her class, staying under the radar of the other first grade teacher and trying to keep up with all of the commitments the principal volunteers her for. Her latest surprise is the community volunteer for her classroom, the tall, handsome, arrogant grandson of Denver royalty and heir to Denver's mega sporting goods conglomerate.
Oh, my heart, I was all swoony through the entire story! It's hilarious and has plenty of sizzle, but there's hit after hit to the heart, and all of it timed perfectly for the most emotional impact. Abby was amazing and I would love to be BFFs with her. She's smart, sweet and compassionate, and has a loving, forgiving heart. And Brennen. Brennen was a dog and hadn’t gotten the memo that it’s not all about him, but knowing Abby changes him. She helps him see his past in a different light and just being in her orbit makes Brennen want to be a better man.
Maybe I should confess that this is my first book by this author, and she won me over in a huge way. Any author who can make me fall nose over toes for the type of hero I despise and have sworn off is one I definitely want to read more from. If she can win me over despite my skepticism, I have no doubt she'll win over the most doubtful reader, so grab Man Fast and start reading today. I’m sure you’ll fall in love with these characters, too.

Excerpt
Heat rose
to Abby's cheeks. She'd had enough.
She plucked
the tiny glue stick from Brennen's large hand and jabbed it into his chest.
“One, two, three! Eyes on me!” she said, in the meanest voice she’d ever used
to recite that common teachers' prompt.
The man
cocked his head to the side and met her gaze.
She held
the glue stick in place. “I don’t care who you are. You could be the King of
Colorado.”
His lips
quirked into a smirk. “Nope, that doesn’t exist.”
Anger
surged through her. “You could be the Duke of Denver.”
“Still a
no.”
She jabbed
the glue stick a fraction harder. “Maybe you can understand this? In my
classroom, I am the CEO. I am the B, O, double S, boss. And what I say goes.”
His eyes
went wide, and he stared at her. It wasn’t the aloof stare he’d given her
earlier. No, this look brimmed with astonishment. She could feel the heat of
him. Sense every muscle in his body tensing like a predator deciding if he
wanted to pounce. Inches apart, he held her gaze. The tiny glue stick, the only
thing separating them. Her body zinged, and she wasn’t sure if it was from
laying down the law or that if she pushed up onto her toes and he bent down,
their lips would be mere millimeters apart.
Author Bio
If there’s one thing Krista Sandor knows for sure, it’s that
romance saved her. After she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2015, her
world turned upside down. During those difficult first days, her dear friend

ignited her love of the genre. Inspired by the strong heroines and happily ever
afters, Krista decided to write her own romance series. Today, she is an MS
Warrior and living life to the fullest. When she’s not writing, you can find
Krista running 5Ks and chasing after her growing boys in her adopted home of
Denver, Colorado.
