MY DICK CAN BE A REAL BASTARD SOMETIMES. When he takes charge, I’ve been known to do a lot of stupid shit, despite the fact that I have a genius IQ. Case in point: How I met the woman of my dreams. Now, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: I don’t regret that moment of idiocy one bit. It may have been one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, but you know what they say about first … you know what they say about first impressions, right? Well, I can guarantee that I made quite the impression that evening. (Don’t worry; I’ll tell you all the gory details later.)
Most days, she acts like she hates me—probably because I behave like an ass— but we both know the truth: Rainey O’Neil wants me just as much as I want her—she just doesn’t want to admit it.
Good thing I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge.
*Deal Takers is the second installment in the Dealing with Love world but can be read as a standalone.

Deal Takers by Laura Lee is a RomCom in her Dealing with Love series that leaves you crying with laughter and laughing while crying! I did not read the first book but I still managed to enjoy the heck out of the second one!
Deal Takers is the story of Brody Harris who has no filter so you can imagine what comes from his mouth – it whether cracks you up or leaves you for reaching for a gun, and Rainey who is a nurse at the local hospital and has the (mis)fortune of meeting Brody when he comes to ER with an embarrassing problem … The first chapter will give you a very clear picture of what is waiting for you (and Brody and Rainey) and I am telling you, it is so entertaining that you will not be able to put the book down until you have gotten to the end! The banter, the chemistry, the waiting (yeah, heck yeah, it takes YEARS!!!) and the heartbreak … AND do not forget about the older woman – younger man scenario as well!! You get EVERYTHING when you pick up the story (well, not a dead body or a back stabbing ex-girlfriend or ….)
I recently read Deal Takers by Laura Lee – and let’s just say that I caught myself laughing a lot, at the characters, at the storyline and at the entire situation.
Brody Harris is an all-time playboy – in every sense of the word. And he’s the one that had me laughing hard. I loved getting to know him as an individual. And even though he plays the game, he’s enthralled with Rainey O’Neil. I loved seeing him interact with her, and trying as hard as he can to “get to know her better”. She obviously was hard to get, but was definitely attracted to him.
I was impressed with Laura and her ability to create a world that can capture your attention and maintain it throughout the entire book. I definitely enjoyed this book, and felt like I couldn’t get away from. I had to find out what was going to happen, and how the characters were going to figure out their situation. Definitely a 4 Star Book for me.
Deal Takers by Laura Lee is the second book in the Deal with Love series. I think I started laughing on the first page and didn’t stop. Brody is one of those guys who enjoys getting a laugh, especially from a beautiful woman.
Rainey and Brody meet in a most unusual way and are destined to be in one another’s life since they have things in common and I loved every moment of this story of this giant man child and the nurse.
I cannot wait until the next book in this series comes out.
Deal Takers by Laura Lee
Stars: 4
This is the second book in the Dealing with Love series. This story focuses on Rainey and Brody. I love the chemistry between these two. There is a flirty, fun side to their interactions that made it fun to read.The build up to their relationship happened over years. We get to read how it progressed, which I loved. The way these two met in the story is hilarious! Rainey is sweet, but reluctant to put herself out there. At time, Brody seriously has an immature sense of humor, and he talks about his privates…..a lot. He also is sweet, caring, and loyal. The secondary characters were awesome. I love Devyn and her brother, Drew. Their friends love them and are very supportive.
Although this story is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. I did not feel that I missed something huge that was related to this story. However, it did make me excited about this series and these characters!

This was my first book by this author and now I need more! I didn’t read book 1, but I wasnt lost at all.
This wasnt the typical romance book for me. I was laughing from page one and throughout of course but it also had sone very heartbreaking scenes as well.
Brody, oh this man, he doesn’t give up and his jokester attitude makes it hard to believe he takes things seriously.
Rainey, i loved her but I wanted to shake her too and tell her to open her eyes.
The chemistry between these two was explosive and I just fell in love with them.

I so completely loved this book I cant even explain in words how much. I want to read the first one now as well and will, but in saying that you don’t necessarily have to read them in order, I wish I had just to have the history on a couple of the characters.
This had me laughing out loud by the last part of the first paragraph. I love this style it is so easy to read, it just flows so perfectly, I hated to have to walk away to do real life stuff and couldn’t wait to pick it back up. I loved the dialogue between all of the characters but especially every conversation between Brody and Rainey. They were the perfect balance of love, hate, and destined to be together.
I also really loved the way this author handled the timeline, it confused me at first I couldn’t figure out what was going on but then when it clicked it was like ok I got this and I loved it. I also really loved the friendship bonds in this story, especially Devyn and Rainey’s.
I just loved everything about this book and can not wait for the next in this series, I have a feeling it’s going to be quite a ride, and while I’m waiting I will be checking out everything else this author has available.
Amazingly Awesome!

5-star review
Deal Takers by Laura Lee is a must-read romance! This is my first book by Lauren, but it won’t be my last as I enjoyed this book from beginning until end. It’s the second book in the Dealing with Love series, this is a book that can definitely be read as a standalone. This story is sweet, romantic, steamy, heart-wrenching and also somehow laugh out loud funny. There wasn’t one thing I didn’t love about it. The two main characters, Brody and Rainey, were so relatable and connectable and I found myself rooting for them from the beginning.
I have quickly become a fan of this author and of her writing style. All of the detail made it so easy to picture everything playing out in my mind which made this book even more entertaining than it already was. I can’t wait to read more from this author and I would definitely recommend this romance read to others!
Deal Takers by Laura Lee is the second book in her Dealing With Love Series. These books can be read as standalone books. Be warned though, this book is highly entertaining and highly addictive!
Right from the opening chapter – few pages even – of this book I knew it was going to be a good one. The way in which we are introduced to Brody is sure to have you laughing so hard while being instantly hooked on the story.
Rainey is absolutely perfect for him. She is feisty and not afraid to speak her mind. The fact that she doesn’t like him at first just makes this story all the better. In the same respect though he is also perfect for her. She thinks her life is perfectly on track – dream job, great guy – and it would have to take someone like Brody to show her that her life needs shaking up just a little.
This book had me laughing out loud the whole way through. But that didn’t detract from the story that was there and how well written the whole book was. This is a new author for me and I was impressed with the way she writes – the story flowed well and as I said the characters are just brilliant. The first thing I am doing is going back to read book one, and any others that are out!
Deal Takers, by Laura Lee, is the second book within the Dealing with Love series. This story was light, fun and a pleasure to read. It had laughs and seriousness in the right places creating a solidly round story. Laura Lee was talented in the method she utilizes in sharing this story, it was just so sweet, endearing, but emotionally touching too. I really liked Brody and Rainey’s characters. This romantic comedy was perfectly blended start to finish; I do like how the author overlaps characters between books within this series. You can read this book as a standalone separate from the series. Overall, my favorite character was Brody. Despite his “childishness” throughout parts of the story, he had staying power. Definitely a character that takes note and strikes something inside of the reader.
Everything about this story is in my wheelhouse. Romance (check), comedy (check), great friends (check), characters I want to know more about (check), hot guy and hot woman (check, check).
In addition to being a terrific rom-com, I love that the two main characters break the 4th wall. I always enjoy when they speak directly to me.
Although this is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone with no problem.
I absolutely recommend this book.

Ok so first thing I have to say – the dedication in this book hands down THE funniest ever and anyone who dedicates their book to the sex god himself is going to have my attention!!!
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I cannot believe that I haven’t before. This book had everything I love in it (apart from Thor references!!), the fact that it made me laugh out loud on page one meant that I knew I was in for a good read and it didn’t let up the whole way through. Brody and Rainey were just brilliant! The chemistry, the banter, everything about them was just great to read about. I was absolutely rooting for them to be together the whole way through the story and I have got to be honest I am so team Brody!!!
I will absolutely be reading the first book in this series, I want to know more about the characters and I can’t wait to read more from Laura Lee in the future!!
If you are looking for a story that is fast paced, well written and will make you laugh out loud then you should definitely one click Deal Takers today!!
Deal Takers by Laura Lee is Book 2 in the Dealing with Love Series.
This book was such a good book that I wish I can give more then 5 stars. I’m upset I didn’t get to read book 1 first because I have a feeling, it focuses on a different couple. Since I have not read book 1 and was able to unsderatand 110% of what was going on, I’m assuming you do not have to read the books in order but, it would probably make sense.
In this book, the characters are all amazing. I loved just about all of them. Drew and Brody are best friends. Drew’s sister Devyn becomes best friends with a nurse she met at the hospital named Rainey. One night when Rainey was covering in the ER she had a patient in a pretty embarrassing situation. Her patient was Brody. After the night in the ER they end up running into eachother while at Devyn and Drew’s house. Brody wants Rainey big time but she is engaged and obviously will not give him the time of day. The friends all hang out and get pretty close. When Things don’t go as planned for Rainey in her life, will she give Brody the chance he’s been dreaming about?
This book honestly is one I will read over and over again. Cannot wait for book 3
Oh man, I got my hands on an advanced copy and I could not put this one down! Let me just say, don’t start this one if you have stuff to do because you won’t want to be bothered. Brody is the kind of guy you want to dislike but can’t. It’s not often that I find a book where the characters can do things I don’t like, but I find them charming anyway. The main characters had such GREAT chemistry. I REALLY enjoyed this one!! Laura Lee is a fantastic romance writer and this book had it all – humor, SEXY scenes, adorable romance, heartbreak and swoon worthy moments. I promise you will be laughing out loud and have a hard time putting this book down until it’s done! If you need a sweet and funny romance – snuggle up with Brody (and Thor 😉 ) for the night … trust me he doesn’t disappoint.
Deal Takers by Laura Lee is book two of the Dealing with Love series. This book can be read as a standalone. I didn’t read the first book in the series but I’m definitely going to read it now! The characters are interconnected but I didn’t feel lost reading the second book first.
Rainey has it all. Loving fiancé, great job, great new friend. Along with all of that, Rainey meets Brody who she is sure was sent to torture her, especially given they way they met.
Brody didn’t expect to meet the woman of his dreams. He especially didn’t plan to meet her the way he did. To the outside world, Rainey doesn’t seem interested in Brody at all. But he will be patient and bide his time and he is confident he will have his shot with Rainey.
I loved this book! It was so fun to read. I enjoyed reading the banter between Rainey and Brody. They have crazy chemistry which made the book that much better. Rainey is such a strong character. She can handle her own but vulnerable enough to admit she just wants love in her life. Brody is so funny and reminds me of my best guy friend so it made me chuckle reading some of the things he came up with. I would recommend this book to anyone!!

Five Stars
Dang this book got me. You know a book is good if you can put yourself in every moment and feel every emotion. I’m a mom of three and I couldn’t imagine life without them. So for Rainy to be waiting and desiring kids only to be disappointed. I cried for her. The author did an amazing job on this story. I did think that Brody’s character could’ve been better. I believe he was made a little too childish and playful. Props to him though for being there when Rainy needed it the most. The story was fun and engaging. I laughed, cried and was angry at a lot of moments. I am really excited to see what is next for this author.
Oh wow this novel was amazing i read it all in one sitting let’s just say my chores were pushed aside i was well too hooked! It had eveything i love laugh out loud moments, swoon make my heart melt moments, heartbreak, drama and incredibly hot chemistry with hot scenes put it this way your taken on an amazing journey! I tell you now once you start this novel you will find it impossible to pull your eyes away from the pages. If your looking for an story that will keep you captivated throughout then grab this novel amazing!!
Holy hotness overload! This book took my breath away in so many ways. I think it would be more proper to give this FIVE Thor hammers, rather than stars, but nonetheless it gets FIVE! I am a cemented fan of Laura Lee now and I can’t wait to see what comes next in this series!
So in all we get a great rom-com out of this. It isn’t the average rom-com mistaken love type of novel. Instead it’s a slow burn, slow build, romance with lots of comedic relief to keep you balanced while reading. I felt the gambit of emotions while reading this though and loved every second of it. Lee really does a great job of balancing things and weaves a wonderful love story.
Let’s talk Brody for a second… Yeah totally, a walking, talking, epitome of arrogant alpha male. He fits his description of Thor, and such mentions of likeness gives you a whole different look at Thor for the rest of your life! He wouldn’t be the man I would touch with the relationship pole for sure, until we get to know him after that first encounter with Rainey.
Rainey totally didn’t stand a chance, and had no idea what she was getting when she happened to cover the ER shift the night Brody came bursting into her life. Brody may spin the hilarious encounter and tempt the idea of trying to get Rainey to go out with him. She declines of course… There is a hint of mystery behind why, and the story unfolds from there into a sweet, fun, and hilarious love story. I can’t bear to share much more without fear that I would ruin the joy of the story. Set aside an afternoon to devour Rainey and Brody’s love story for yourself! I promise that you won’t regret it. While you are at it get a glimpse of these two before they meet in the first book, Deal Makers, in the Dealing with Love series. Not necessary to enjoy this one, but definitely a necessity to enjoy!
Deal Takers (Dealing With Love Book 2)
By: Laura Lee
5 out of 5 stars
The story Deal Takers (Dealing With Love Book 2) by Laura Lee is a romance book that when reading I had a constant smile on my face and frequently laughing out loud. The story got my attention from the first chapter and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. This is a book that has plenty of sarcasm and innuendos. There is plenty of bantering/dirty talking between the two main characters. They have a strong physical attraction to each other. Sometimes the past can have an effect on a person’s current actions. She wants things casual, no emotions, no commitment. He knows that she is the one. Can he get her to admit her feelings for him? Will he be able to make her see how serious he is about a relationship with her or will her emotions make her walk away from him? I loved reading about the character of Rainey O’Neil. She is a nurse who is caring and compassionate. She is someone who is looking for the right man in her life. She, however, has not had success in the relationships that she has been in. The one that is falling for her is handsome and has a large ego. He is experiencing feelings toward Rainey that he has not had with other women. Let’s just say that Rainey uses colorful language to describe him at times. This story has some very steamy scenes that are guaranteed to make the temperature in the room rise. Read to find out if these two find happiness and end up together. This is a well-written story that I highly recommend reading. It is the second book in a series and I look forward to reading the next story.
This is the second book in this series. It can be read as a standalone but I would suggest reading the first book too as it is just as enjoyable. The characters are lovable and connectable. They took me on an emotional roller coaster ride from laughter to compassion. I loved the chemistry between Brody and Rainey. They pulled me right into their story from the beginning. I found myself hoping for them to get their HEA. I highly recommend this book.

Rated 5 stars
I LOVED this story!! I literally laughed out loud reading the beginning. That’s what snuckered me in. From the first page to the last i was entranced. This is exactly my kind of book. This is written with humor and snark. Each of these characters are filled to the brim with each one. Brody is actually fuller then brim he probably has a second cup full. The things that boy says? I’m never know if I going to be shocked or just in awe. He definitely has a way with words and persistence?….he is covered in that as well.
The relationships between all these characters is amazing. They are all friends or friends of friends. The characters are so “real” that I forget they are characters in a book. The interactions between them are so “normal” that I feel like they could be in the room with me. The girls have a great besties friendship. They boys..well they have the smarty comments/back slapping macho man stuff. But together they all have a fantastic time together and I love hanging out with them.
This is a first time author for me! I loved her writing style so I will be checking out other books from her. Also I see she has a third book in the works for this series. I will be looking forward that as well.
