One Love for Liv
by Marianne Arkins
GENRE: Romance
BLURB:
Liv is out to prove her high society fiancé is cheating on her. Can she do it without breaking a nail—or falling in love with Mike, the mechanic?
Olivia "Liv" Leigh, wealthy socialite and spa owner, suspects her fiancé of cheating on her. Drastic steps are required to discover whether appearances are deceiving. And if those steps require a bit of stalking, a change of appearance, a hippo-sized dog named Spike, and sacrificing her manicure to clean house for a sexy-but-sloppy man whose neighbor is determined to break several of the strangest Guinness World Records, why should that be a problem?
Mike Peck, a happily single auto mechanic, is more than content sharing his bachelor pad with piles of laundry, dirty dishes, and a sneaky ferret. But when a half-crazed woman in a bad wig shows up on his doorstep, what's a nice guy to do?
Why, invite her in, unknowingly help her in her search for the truth and, in the process, fall head over heels with a woman who's never been less his type.

Excerpt:
Liv leaped back and slipped between two parked cars, squatting down to hide for a moment until she realized she couldn’t see anything. She duck-walked up a few cars until she could lean down to peek underneath and watch Daisy’s feet to note when she moved on.
Utterly focused on the sight before her, she had no warning before the driver’s door beside her swung open, clipping her sharply on the head. She flew backward, sprawling into the street and thumping her skull on the pavement. Tires squealed nearby as a moving car whipped around her flattened body.
“What the—?” From a million miles away, a man shouted in surprise. She heard the thump of footsteps but couldn’t seem to open her eyes. “Hey, lady.” A huge, heavy hand shook her shoulder. “Are you okay?”
Something warm and wet swiped her face, both reviving and disgusting her. She kept her eyes closed and limply swatted at it. Her hand hit fur. “Ugh.”
“Spike, back off.”
Spike? What was going on? She gave a low moan and tried again to force her eyelids to obey her will, finally succeeding after a Herculean effort. A tanned face covered in five o’clock shadow and smears of black grease swam in front of her. Next to him, its neck surrounded by a studded black leather collar, sat the biggest brown dog she’d ever seen. The creature had drool suspended from its mouth and it looked as if it had swallowed a sneaker with the laces hanging out. Dear heavens, was that what had licked her?
My Review:
Liv thinks her fiancé, Geoff is cheating on her. She sets out to prove it when she meets Mike. Liv is supposed to get married in a month but what if her fiancé is really cheating on her? Liv goes undercover to prove that Geoff is cheating on her.
Mike gives Liv a job cleaning his house. Mike thinks she is homeless and in need of a job so he offers her both. Liv is in luck as Mike lives next door to the woman she believes Geoff is cheating on her with. This way she can keep an eye out for Geoff and Daisy.
One Love for Liv was a very enthralling read that will grab your attention from the first page. I loved it every time Liv pulled out a wipe to clean her hands. I connected with Liv here as I have hand sanitizer all over the house and carry it everywhere I go. I can’t stand for my hands to be dirty or even feel dirty. I have carried hand sanitizer with me long before COVID.
I would recommend One Love for Liv to anyone looking for a nice cozy romantic book to read! Grab a copy of One Love for Liv today!
