Description

Kevin Mallory is a Customer Assistance Representative for a cable company. He keeps his customers on hold, his supervisor on the run and his female nemesis on ice, but a new friend just might change his perspective.

Lilly decides, based on his boorish advances, that he is in need of sexual addiction therapy. She wants to help him because he has led her to believe, falsely, that he has saved her brother's job. He goes in the wrong door in the church basement and joins the Healing Hearts Therapy Group by mistake.

Lilly has supported herself since high school with just a little help from her only living relative, her alcoholic older brother. She runs a small non-profit housing agency while McFadden, her supervisor and director of the agency, travels around the country on work -- and also on play.

Zach, her charming, gregarious, self-satisfied boyfriend, outrages her by sharing their private conversations with all their friends and egging them on to put pressure on her to marry him. She meets Selby, a humble policeman, through Mallory, and is immediately attracted to him. They meet at first at the shooting range, where she admires his kindness and he admires her game spirit.

When Lilly finds out McFadden has been embezzling funds, Zack implores her not to report it. Their love life begins to suffer from their disagreement, as well as from her growing attraction to Selby. She takes Selby's advice and tells her boss she must report him, endangering not only her relationship but also her career.

In an attempt to save Lilly's job, Mallory reverts to his old habit of impersonating an attorney in order to blackmail McFadden.

Kevin Malory is a mess. He’s a customer service representative that avoids customers and is rude when he needs to deal with them. I found myself rooting for him because I wanted him to improve his ways but every time he was offered an opportunity to prove himself he seemed to fail.

The characters were described so well that I could imagine each one as a real life person. He messes up and his new friend Lily and she recommends sex addicts therapy. When he finally agrees to go he lands up in the wrong therapy group. By the time he realizes this he has already annoyed most of the group members, but has befriended a few as well.

He sets out to help his friends when trouble arises and it is often done with a good heart but with many mistakes along the way.

I loved this quirky book. This was the second in a series but not having read the first book I felt i knew the characters because they were so well described. This is a quick read and I highly recommend reading it.
