Length: 6 hrs and 26 mins

Publisher's summary

My grandparents’ grumpy neighbor is as hot as the lethal Florida sun. And like the sun, he’s bad for me. My taste in men is the worst - just ask my ex and his restraining order.

What am I doing in Florida with my grandparents, you wonder? Well, my best friend is an octopus, and he needs a bigger tank. So, I took a job at an aquarium in the Sunshine State.

I didn’t expect that sexy, long-haired grump to try to buy my octopus for some nefarious purpose. Nor did I expect to make out with him during a late-night swim at the beach.

And the last thing I expected was to run into him on my first day, at my new job, where he’s my boss....

Note: This is a stand-alone, raunchy, slow-burning romantic comedy featuring a sun-phobic marine biologist, her scorching hot grump of a boss, and an octopus who likes to go on walks in his mobile tank. If any of the above is not your cup of tea, run far, far away. Otherwise, buckle in for a laugh-out-loud, feel-good ride.

Love Eccentric People

The narrators were on point which made this great. You have a FMC obsessed with octopuses, a MMC who loves his manatees, and love blossoms. Thrown in some vegan feasting, a little unintentional drug use, hippy dippy parents, a grandparent with anime porn watching fetish, another grandfather ready to shoot someone and a stalker ex-boyfriend and the hijinks that ensue make you laugh, the sexiness makes you go wow, and the love makes you go awe! Definitely worth the listen.

Fun, truly laugh out loud, cute story

I really enjoyed this book. The narrations were great also. It was a fun light hearted story. Like nothing I have read before Can’t wait to read more of her books and see what the fun sisters get in to.

Hysterical!

This book had me laughing out loud from the beginning! There is such a quirky and lovable quality about Olive that just makes her irresistible. Her obsession with octopuses, and lack of interest in dolphins, makes her my favorite fictional marine biologist.

Of Octopuses and Men

Absolutely hilarious from beginning to end. Couldn't ask for a better listen. Narration was excellent as well.

All you never knew about sea creatures and LAUGHS!

This book was shockingly funny. So much knowledge all packed into a sexy rom com. Prepare to laugh out loud if you can get into the book. But if lots of sea life references aren’t your thing this might not tickle your funny bone as much.

Great Book!!

Being a Floridian not far from all the written action it was a wonderful read. The humor made me laugh out loud, which is rare for me!! Thank you for the good time!!

Fun story.

Not much depth or seriousness so it’s a nice light read for anyone looking for something to break up the monotony. The characters are quirky and cute.

What a fun listen!

Another fun read from on of the Hyman girls! Olive was pretty tame compared to some of her sisters books. She has a weird obsession with mermaids. I should say she has a weird obsession with sunscreen as well, but let's face it, she's right about UV damage so I can't even fault her.

We got to meet the grandparents in this book and I adored them. The grandma had a few cringe worthy moments but that does explain why Olive's mom is the way that she is. I think you really can die of embarrassment if you lived through some of what Olive and her sisters had to experience with this family. It makes for an entertaining read for sure.

Last but not least, Oliver was drool worthy. Based off his descriptions, I couldn't help but search for pictures to fit him and I found some good ones! I just love how these hunky men fall for these slightly neurotic women and love them all the more for it.

Hilarious!

OMG! Olive and Oliver's story is hilarious, steamy, and sweet. Olive is such a colorful character, funny, sassy, and determined. Oliver is very handsome. I liked the amazing characters, the slow burn romance, the eccentric Hyman family, and the witty humor. This is an excellent, hilarious, and original Romantic Comedy. Erin Mallon did an outstanding job with the narration. Sebastian York as Oliver reading of the Epilogue was the perfect choice! This story is interconnected with Hard Byte (Holly's story), Royally Tricked (Gia's story), and Femme Fatale-ish. (Blue's story). If you like a laugh-out-loud Romantic Comedy, this one is definitely for you. Misha Bell never disappoints!
