The night I met Drew Jagger, he’d just broken into my new Park Avenue office. I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills.  He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing.   
 
Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant. Only, turned out, he wasn’t an intruder at all.   
 
Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office. He’d been on vacation while his posh space was renovated. Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn’t really available for rent. I was swindled out of ten grand. 
 
The next day, after hours at the police station, Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he’d let me stay until I found a new place. I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients. But I couldn’t help giving him a piece of my mind. I never expected my body to react every time we argued. Especially when that was all we seemed to be able to do. 
 
The two of us were complete opposites. Drew was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell destroyer of relationships. And my job was to help people save their marriages. The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing. And an attraction that was getting harder to deny by the day. 

 

Ego Maniac is a sexy and steamy romance between a divorce attorney and a marriage counsellor. Their professions and personal convictions square off as they fight their attraction to each other.

Ego Maniac is the perfect balance of a fun lighthearted romance with serious undertones. I’m not usually a fan of the “twist”, but Keeland makes it work. It’s a catalyst for the story to move forward, but doesn’t suffocate the romantic elements despite its very serious nature.

Drew is a foul mouthed alpha who is not afraid to say what’s on his mind, even when it’s perverted and dirty, which is most of the time. Despite is alpha male tendencies, he’s also protective and sweet. Drew’s character walks the line of overbearing perfectly.

“You’re the red in my black and white world.”

Emerie is competent and adorable. She’s a psychologist specializing in marriage counseling. This may seem like a cliché since a lot of romance novels feature psychology as a major or profession, but Keeland doesn’t shove it down readers’ throats.

Overall, Ego Maniac is a great romance to get lost in for the afternoon. It features a fire hot romance with the right amount of seriousness to make it more than just a silly romance.
