BLURB
He hates her for some reason. She will not rest until she changes his mind.
People always like Samantha Vine. It's kind of her thing. All the employees at her tech startup think she's the best boss, and the community partners and investors she woos not only trust, but adore her.
Everyone likes her, except him.
Sam may have been caught off guard when she accidentally insulted science teacher AJ Trachtenberg, but she's pulling out all the stops trying to make it up to him…and it’s not working. Offering his students a swanky field trip doesn't win him over—it only seems to make him grumpier.
Unfortunately, grumpy looks very good on him. AJ is tall, dark, and annoyingly handsome and he’s got a giant chip on his shoulder. Honestly, his smoldering is distracting.
Sam can’t afford any distractions right now, not with the media hounding her as she tries to take her company public. Maybe she can swing a one-time naked distraction, though. That doesn’t have to mean anything, right? She’s not looking for a happily-ever-after here. She’s just trying to get him out of her head.
Alas, when it comes to business and bossy men, Samantha Vine has trouble letting go.
Fireball is the laugh-out-loud first stand-alone installment of the Bridges and Bitters series. If you love found family, hilarious antics, and off-the-charts heat, you'll devour these sexy romantic comedies.
EXCERPT
“Samantha!” He uses his stern teacher voice when he says my full name and I feel it in every one of my nucleotides.
“Yes?” I whisper, shaking away the sudden fantasy I have of him rapping my knuckles with a ruler. I never even went to Catholic school, so I’m not sure where that comes from.
He rakes a hand through his dark hair, and a loose piece tumbles across his forehead. This man is a snack and he apparently hates me and that’s a really bad combination, because now I’m fully immersed in a very deep desire to make him like me. Oh god, I’m seeking his approval.

AUTHOR LINKS
I received a complimentary early release copy of this e-book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is the first time I am reading this author. I found it a really interesting a different story and I give the author kudos for her originality in this story.
This book stars, A.J. a Jewish, very grouchy, hairy teacher with a major attitude. He teaches biology and I found some of his classes fascinating especially when he compared frogs with the non gender binary labels teens are using nowadays. I also enjoyed reading how he called some of the Jewish holidays, Days of Awe. He has an ex, Lara who treated him very badly and he still is recovering from her breaking his heart.
He meets Samantha "Sam" when she invites him to come to her computer software company as way for her to get good PR while trying to reach the needs of local schools, teachers and students. She meets Aj while in the middle of a reporter interviewing her and she ends up alienating him and so starts their hate romance.
Sam is very successful but her family does not treat her that way and especially her military father who is extremely hard on her and her siblings who want her to do everything for them.
AJ's ex did a terrible number on him and he feels like Sam does, that he is not awesome and I loved how his friends try to show him that it was her and not him that was the problem.
This is primarily a story about family, friends, love and moving on and seeing how awesome you are and finding the person that loves you but also makes you feel good about yourself.
