I recommend this book when you're in the mood for a cute, fluffy, humorous, sexy romance. This is not a book that dives deep into social issues, or even the characters really. And sometimes that's just the kind of story you want!

Reggie is a badass astronaut in need of an image boost to help her chances of being selected for a moon mission. She's been single-mindedly striving for this, desperate to be the first woman who walks on the moon. Her people skills are lacking, and her emotional intelligence is rather non-existent. She begrudgingly offers to take part in a publicity stunt where she'll train an actor for his upcoming role. 

Jon is the actor about to play an astronaut in a film that could win him an Oscar, catapulting him into stardom and giving him the gravitas he wants. He is super friendly and all heart - basically a big puppy, wanting to please, easily distracted, and always knocking into things.

These two are the ultimate grumpy/sunshine, and it's fun to see them get together!

I received an advanced ebook through Bonkers Romance book club, delivered via NetGalley.
