Single mom Evie Granger has been doing all she can to hold her life together since her ex walked out 16 years ago, but recently she's felt not unlike she's drowning. Her father's illness often leaves him too drained to work, her family's coffee shop is in the red, and her ex just dropped a bombshell that's going to devastate their daughter. Not to mention her mother and best friend are determined to meddle in her (non-existent) love life, which apparently includes posting far too many videos of her on ClickByte, one of which goes viral and thrusts Evie into the middle of a bizarre Bachelorette situation involving far too many men showing up at the coffee shop to present her with roses and a list of their best qualities. Despite the good business, Evie really needs it to stop - she's not looking for love, she's just trying to get through the day! 

In a last-ditch effort to regain some control, Evie turns to neighbor and makes a deal, she'll help him get his home back in order if he'll pretend to date her to get the crowd of suitors off her back. But between the mess from having to lie to their families and the clear chemistry Evie and Jonah share, what begins as a straightforward arrangement doesn't stay that way for long. 

This was such an enjoyable and heartwarming romance that, despite some of it's more outlandish moments, felt wonderfully realistic. While it had it's spicy moments, I particularly loved seeing Evie and Jonah give support and comfort to one another. Single parenthood is no easy feat and both of them were struggling in their own ways, so it was lovely watching them (particularly Evie) learn to ask for help. A feel-good love story rooted in family, You've Got Male was a delight to read.
