A serial dater and self-proclaimed ninja, Liv Lester thought accidentally running into her date from hell was as bad as her day could get. As it turns out, there areworse things. Not only is her company getting sued, but the only person able to clear its name has disappeared without a trace.

A brilliant lawyer on the fast track to becoming a senior partner, Dax Morgan follows strict rules that don't include crazy women who pretend to be his girlfriend. His latest case was supposed to be easy. Get in, sue, get out. He certainly didn't plan on meeting Liv, who throws color into his black and white world and makes him question his loyalties.

After chance encounters, misunderstandings, and a trailer load of sticky notes, the two grudgingly team up and find out they might not be as different as they first thought.

Sticky Notes is the first novel by debut author Drea St. James and it did not disappoint! Not only does it start with a hilarious scenario in a supermarket...you get a very interesting meet-cute. This whole book will leaving you laughing at random moments, and if read in public...you make look a little crazy. From bubble gum flavor experimentation and lawsuits to annoyed neighbors and hand-written notes, the story will capture your attention till the end.

Thoughts:

PLOT LINE - Here's to another interesting twist of an enemies to lovers story! Opposites sides in a lawsuit. Neighbors who cannot stand the other's antics. This story has two different sides: work and home life. Liv Lester is a scientist who creates new bubble gum flavors. When a rival company sues for a copyright breach, her team is thrown into a lawsuit that can bring down their company. Dax Morgan is just an attorney on a ridiculous case about bubble gum. Annoyed with his client, he can't wait to get it done. But, when he comes face to face with Liv again...things just got a whole lot more interesting. They may be civil at work. However, as neighbors not so much...especially since they haven't figured out that they are in fact neighbors.

CHEMISTRY - Instant attraction. Meeting under multiple strange circumstances, the attraction drawing them together is magnetic. All the scenes where they are thrown together unexpectedly are adorable and funny. You can sense his hesitancy in making any moves but once their hands touch...he won't be able to let her go. When they eventually figure out that they are neighbors, there's change in chemistry intensity. Things do get a bit steamy. ;) But, it was a bit frustrating for how long it took Dax to finally put it all together that Liv lived next door. There were so many signs!

BECKETT AND ALLY - Dax's and Liv's best friends, respectively, make up the rest of this adorable group. Secondary characters are important because they help bring more fun to the table. They are each outgoing individuals who love to speak their mind. There is this fire brought out in scenes when they are included. Although they are hidden in the background of this story, you'll get a glimpse of their dynamic. I'm so excited to see what Drea St. James has up her sleeves for them in her second book in the series!

ABOUT DREA ST. JAMES

Drea St. James

Mastering uncooperative cooking utensils, fixing wardrobe malfunctions and the ability to speak to dogs are all on Drea’s bucket list. One thing she did tick off her list recently is the conquest of the computer. Well for the most part. There may have been a few incidents proving the contrary to be true. Just don’t mention a supposedly missing ON button to her.

Drea lives with her husband and two extroverted dogs in Perth, Western Australia, the world’s most isolated capital city whose population thinks daylight savings is code for government conspiracy.

Lucky there is always Drea(m)land, where everything is possible. Even staying out past nine o’clock on a school night.

Drea is currently in treatment for her book addiction.
