Amanda Aksel (Delia Suits Up; The Commitment Test) presents a charming and comedic romance in No Funny Business. Brimming with sexy hilarity, this is the perfect romance for fans of stand-up comedy or anyone looking for a funny love story with some depth.
Olivia Vincent has always wanted to be a stand-up comedian, but at her father's urging she got a law degree so that she'd have a guaranteed "real job." For the last few years, she's been appearing in court by day and grabbing a mic by night, but she's starting to burn out. When she loses her job at a Manhattan law firm, she takes it as a sign to pursue stand-up full time. And her agent has the perfect gig: a cross-country comedy tour with the very sexy Nick Leto. But her agent makes Olivia promise to avoid any funny business with Nick on the road trip from New York to Los Angeles.
As Nick and Olivia travel across the country, odd circumstances force Olivia to come to terms with her issues with her father and make Nick reevaluate his own past. Stuck in the car for endless hours, Olivia and Nick get to know each other really well. And Olivia finds herself wondering what would happen if she breaks the rule her agent set for her. Heartfelt and hilarious, with Nick and Olivia facing everything from angry widows to Elvis impersonators, No Funny Business is actually very funny stuff. --Jessica Howard, freelance book reviewer
