Synopsis
“I’m serious, Mr. De Groot. Back up now.”
“Pulling out the last names. I guess I better retreat.” Instead of retreating, Niels leans closer to whisper, “Although, I would love to see how you’d punish me.”
I live my life by my rules. I don’t care if I suddenly find myself working overseas in Holland. My rules are my rules, and I’m sticking to them. Everyone can call me Uptight Avery all they want. Not my problem.
Rule #1: Do not tell a subordinate he looks like a Norse god – even if it’s true.
Rule #2: Do not kiss a subordinate when in a conference room with windows for walls. Scratch that. No kissing subordinates period.
Rule #3: Do not stare at a subordinate’s ahem assets when he’s half-naked because you barged into his hotel room. And maybe not barge into his hotel room either.
Rule #4: And do not, under any circumstance, drink too many Pumpkin Spice White Russians and fling yourself into bed with your flirty subordinate.
Will Avery Go Dutch and enjoy herself a scrumptious looking Dutch Treat? Or will she stick to her rules no matter how much her fingers itch to strip Niels bare and lick him from head to toe?
This office romantic comedy features a workaholic determined to stay as far away from love and squishy feelings as possible, a fun-loving Dutchman who’s just as determined to force the workaholic to let her hair down, and two friends who have decided to try their hands at playing matchmaker.
Each book in the Love in the Lowlands romantic comedy series can be read as a standalone.

Review
I always enjoy books from this author, they are a great combination of humor, sexiness, and filled with good friends and love.
In this book, we get to meet Avery and Niels. Two attorneys that work for the same company in Holland. I love how Niels decides right off the bat that he wants her, however, Avery has other ideas. It takes some persuasion and the help (or interference?) of Avery’s new friends plus some of her coworkers.
I do have to say that Abby was a little over the top in this book. She is obsessed with sex and everyone else’s relationships. I did think the descriptions of the gifs sent with text messages were funny. I could picture them in my mind and it does seem like something Abby would do.
We give this book 4 1/2 paws.
About the Author
I grew up reading everything I could get my grubby hands on, from my mom’s Harlequin romances to Nancy Drew, to Little Women. When I wasn’t flipping pages in a library book, I was penning horrendous poems, writing songs no one should ever sing, or drafting stories which have thankfully been destroyed. College and a stint in the U.S. Army came along, robbing me of free time to write and read, although on the odd occasion I did manage to sneak a book into my rucksack between rolled up socks, MRIs, t-shirts, and cold weather gear. After surviving the army experience, I went back to school and got my law degree. I jumped ship and joined the hubby in the Netherlands before the graduation ceremony could even begin. A few years into my legal career, I was exhausted, fed up, and just plain done. I quit my job and sat down to write a manuscript, which I promptly hid in the attic before returning to the law. But practicing law really wasn’t my thing, so I quit (again!) and went off to Germany to start a B&B. Turns out running a B&B wasn’t my thing either. I polished off that manuscript languishing in the attic before following the husband to Istanbul where I decided to give the whole writer-thing a go. But ten years was too many to stay away from my adopted home. I packed up again and moved to The Hague where, in between tennis matches and failing to save the world, I’m currently working on my next book. I hope I’ll always be working on my next book.
