Sometimes love is made to order…
The arrogant misogynists at the firm are never going to promote me to partner.
At least, not until I'm "grounded" in a serious relationship.
Because somehow, a successful, single female attorney means “flighty” and “unreliable” to them.
Having a man on my arm and a ring on my finger seems to be the only way to get ahead.
Hard work certainly isn’t doing it.
But making any headway is a difficult task when all my time is spent at the office and I haven’t had a date in so long I can’t even remember when it was…
Or what it even feels like to be with a man.
It’s time to take action—or get ignored the rest of my career.
The company party is my opportunity to prove to the partners that I earned partnership.
And as far as the relationship expectation goes…
Hiring an escort to pretend to be my serious boyfriend is the perfect temporary fix.
Until Wade shows up on my doorstep as my hired date.
I never expected to see him outside the courthouse, and I definitely never expected for him to end up in my bed…One-click Made to Order, a short and spicy story about finding love in the most unexpected of places and discover how ordering one fake date can change the entire future.
Made to Order by Gwyn McNamee is a short story that definitely hooked me from the start and took less than an hour to read. It’s steamy and features two characters who are hard not to love.
In this story, the FMC, Josette, needs a date for her company party and follows her friend’s advice to use an escort service. Unexpectedly, she finds someone familiar at her door who becomes her date.
It’s written in first person and is dual pov, so both characters get to have their perspective, which I always enjoy reading. I just wish it were a full-length novel, so I could have more of these two characters together and also show how Josette puts the misogynists at her firm in their place because there is no doubt she deserves to be a partner.
Overall, an enjoyable read. I give it 4-stars and highly recommend it for anyone seeking a quick, engaging, and steamy story. This short story delivers memorable characters that have an instant connection and combustible chemistry together, making it well worth your time to read.

My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
