Getting the Goods
By Elizabeth Perry
This book was so enjoyable to read!! I was hooked from the beginning and was entertained throughout the entire book. I loved the banter between the two main characters. I also really enjoyed the relationship between Gabby and her best friend, the situations those two get themselves in are hilarious. This book had more than humor, there are very connectable characters and steamy hot moments. I highly recommend this book it is a must read!!!
Getting the Goods By Elizabeth Perry. This book is in my top five reads of this year for sure! I knew I was in for a good time when I read the blurb but it’s was even better than expected! I was completely hooked from page one and read it in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down. The characters have a connection that jumps off the pages. I loved their banter back and forth. There were times when I didn’t think I’d stop laughing. Each character was my favorite, I honestly couldn’t pick just one. The author does a wonderful job of writing characters that you can relate to and love. It’s well written and paced nicely. The storyline is a fresh and funny take on a romance story. I can’t wait to read more from this author. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to everyone.
Getting the Goods is a funny story that is a little sad when you think about it. Stealing sperm? What could possibly go wrong!? I don’t think I have read a funnier story. Gabriella and Conner are completely different types of people, however they want the same things; to have great sex with no strings and ultimately, to just be happy.
Gabriella and Conner are fun characters that learn a few things during the course of this story. Conner ends up being her boss but in turn needs her, first in business then in his personal life. Gabriella only needs Conner for one thing, his goods.
This story kept me laughing and hoping, because a story that starts out with the characters plotting to steal sperm has got to be good. Getting the Goods is the first book I have read by Elizabeth Perry and she did not let me down. I really hope her other stories are just as much fun to read.
Getting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry is my first book by this author and she has got herself a new fan. This book was a quick read that will have you holding your side from the laughing pains till the end. “Steal the sperm” may have got me to read this book but it was laughing at loud writing that won me over. Poor Gabriella sure knows how to make a first impression and a second one too. But it was her no filter – says anything attitude that had me loving her character.
Don’t take my word for how funny sweet and sexy this book is; I highly recommend you pick up this book for yourself and find out.
I was supposed to go to the gym yesterday but I skipped it because I didn’t want to put this funny rom-com down.
I have so many funny quotes highlighted that I feel like I would just be quoting the book by putting them here. Oh ok, here are a few of my favorites:
(When talking about going to jail) “First of all, you’d be just fine as someone’s (b word). You were in a sorority in college, after all. It’s probably the same thing, just with less booze.”
“I haven’t had sex in so long that I’m pretty sure my vagina is dryer than the Sahara Desert. It’s quite sad, actually.”
“…I would rather get gang banged by a group of chickens than to have to touch David in that way. A girl has to have standards.”
See??? Funny Stuff!!!!
Gabriella and her bestie, Maria, are so funny together and the way they talk to each other had me laughing out loud. The heat between Gabriella and Conner was scorching. Their banter back and forth was as funny as the girls’. It’s a romantic comedy in the classic sense of the word.
This was a fun book to read and although it had a few grammatical errors, it was never enough to take me out of the story. The characters are quickly developed, we are able to know their motivation so there is never any doubt as to what is going on and it flows well from beginning to end.
I am hopeful that the best friend and brother get their stories told also.
5 stars.
Getting the Goods is a standalone contemporary romance novel that will have you laughing from the very first chapter. The plot is simple, yet completely ridiculous, which is what makes it such an addictive read. The characters are engaging and honestly, I just really liked this read. For fans of romantic comedies or classic miscommunication scenarios, this is a must read.
We meet Gaby during one of the most important nights of her life; the night she will finally steal the sperm needed to help her get pregnant. This sounds insane, but as soon as I read the blurb I new I had to read this book. The more crazy, the better, right? Gaby and the relationship with her friend Maria (who let’s be honest, has some questionable practices) is amusing right from the beginning and remains this way throughout the story. But things really get interesting when Gaby meets Conner/Carter and hilarity really ensues. Not only does Gaby find out her job is at risk and the man whose sperm she tried to steal is now her boss, she is also faced with his twin. Yep, there are two of them. Cue funny miscommunications, dramatic passing-outs and awkward encounters. What more could you want from a romantic read?
This is a feel-good read that has the perfect balance of drama, emotion and laughs. While the comedy level is high, there are some serious issues dealt with in this book, including Gaby’s issues with fertility. This may be a difficult read for some but I found it insightful and inspiring. The author dealt with these themes respectfully and it’s left me wanting to read more of her work. If you’re looking for a well-rounded and satisfying read, Getting the Goods is a must!

Getting the Goods is a must read rom-com by Elizabeth Perry. This was my first book by this author, but I can assure you it won’t be my last. I completely devoured this book, I read it in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to put it down. I was able to connect with these characters from the get go which made this reading experience so enjoyable!
Getting the Goods is sweet, romantic, captivating, entertaining and laugh out loud funny! So funny in fact that I was so surprised at how emotional I became as the story went on! My only complaint about this book is that it ended, I could have read about these characters for so much longer!
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next romance read!
Getting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry is a quirky and satisfying tale that was shamelessly brilliant. It has so much on offer. Hilarity? Check. Elegant disorganisation? Check. Heart rate elevating passion? Check. Spine tingling, toe curling sesuality? Check. Battles? Check. Making up? Check. Perfection? Check, check and check!!! I loved these characters, adored how the story presented, loved the tenacious spirit of the leading lady, and swooned every time the leading man was mentioned.
I cannot remember the last time i was that invested in a romantic comedy. I didn’t know what was going on around me. I was totally under the spell of this wonderfully entertaining cast. Elizabeth Perry is an author I will be getting to know better as soon as I can. It was a hoot being able to rendezvous with this colourful collection of personalities. 5 stars.
Getting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry is a flawed romantic comedy that will have you swooning and laughing throughout the fables of her main characters. Following the story of Gabriella Martin, who while she is still a young’un at just 29 years old, she is convinced that if she isn’t a mother soon, she never will be. Coming up with a scheme to get knocked up, leads her on a hilarious ride and strangers who will way lay her best laid plans. Meeting the perfect stranger, tall dark and handsome, and the night is full of steamy oohs and ahhs, until the next morning when Gabie splits and doesn’t expect to see this man again having gotten everything she needed from him. But he isn’t too far behind her, because he happens to be her new boss. The ensuing story is full of awkward morning afters, steamy hook ups, and feelings that neither of them were ready for. Will these two be able to make a multiple night stand work for the long haul when a bundle of joy comes along. Perry is a new to me author, but I am so happy that I picked this one up. If you are looking for a great book that will make you laugh, cry and fall in love with each page. I can’t wait to see what else Perry brings to her readers next.

Ok so this was an awesome book, it was easy to read and I did it in one sitting. It was fun and had me laughing out loud in many parts and then proceeded to get a bit more intense allowing me to become emotionally invested in the story.
Gabrielle was just plain perfect and everything I love in a leading lady…Her sassiness totally floored me and her and Maria together…OMG awesome…In comes Conner and his and Gabrielle’s first meeting was to die for funny…and the dialogue during this first meeting coming out of Gabrielle had me rolling.
The scenes with Conner’s “Mother” had me all kinds of messed up and I won’t tell you why that is…You have to read it to believe it.
I wish I could go into more detail about this story but I just can’t..It wouldn’t be fair, just know that I highly recommend everyone read this book.
This is my first read by this author, and if this one is anything to go by then I’ll be reading everything she has available and that which she comes out with from here on.
Simply Loved this story!!!
I found this a funny, enjoyable, pleasant read. This book was amazing, I loved the main characters and the whole storyline. It may be short but the story is brilliant.
Gabriella does not have a man in her life, she is approaching 30 and has no signs of having a baby any time soon. Her friend has given her guidance on how to get a baby very unconventionally. In walks in Conner. To be honest I think it would be weird seeing someone taking used condoms especially if the sperm belongs to Gabriella’s new boss.
I did throughly enjoy this read. I would highly recommend!
Getting the Goods is a stand-alone novel from author Elizabeth Perry. My only issue is that I didn’t find this book sooner. I absolutely loved everything about this read, this author has a brilliant writing style that totally connects the reader to the storyline and the amazing characters she has created.
This read was filled with laughs, banter, passion, feistiness, romance and a whole lot of brilliance. I loved the concept of this book, Gabriella has taken it upon herself with the help/guidance of best friend Maria to become a mother in the most unconventional way – stealing sperm, but what she never expected was for Conner Andrews Victim Number 1 to come barrelling back into her life after the humiliation she faced the morning after with him. Especially when she finds out that he is her new boss!
The connection and the back and forth banter these two have from the start is what really sets the tone to this read. Gabriella is always wanting to find any way possible to push Conner’s limits, and what she doesn’t realise is that Conner is actually finding it quite refreshing and amusing, to be honest, is one of the things he actually likes about her. But underneath all the back and forth banter, you could tell there was something sizzling especially after spending time with Conner’s family. They both realise there is actually more to each other than the deal/agreement they made while on their week getaway could something actually become of them? Could Conner go against all he knew and settle down & become a father as that is a major part of being in Gabriella’s life? Can Gabriella finally get her HEA and become pregnant and have the family she always wanted? And will Conner be apart of that life?
I read this book in one sitting! I was truly captivated with this read and couldn’t put it down, it had me laughing out loud, grinning from ear to ear and even feel some of their pain in certain situations through this book, maybe even a few tears. But this was an amazing comedy romance read that I would read over and over again.
With that being said there were many secondary characters in this read that most defiantly deserve their own book such as Carter & Maria, I would love to read their story especially if Conner and Gabriella are involved in the story!
This is an incredible read that has set me up for reading more of Elizabeth Perry’s books. This is a book not to be missed!
I fell in love with this book just by reading the blurb. The premise was set to be funny with loads of laughing out loud moments. However I feared that the writing or the main characters will dissapoint. It wasn’t the case!!! Connor and Gabrielle are hilarious characters by law, add in the naughty idea that Gabrielle has in mind and it will let you in fits of laughter. Loved it!!
Gabriella is desperate to get pregnant as she can feel her body clock ticking away. So when her best friend Maria, who also happens to be an OBGYN, and Gabriella come up with a plan, it seems ideal. Until of course there are one too many drinks involved and after a wonderful night, Gabriella is caught sneaking out with the used condom. Connor is the recipient of this foolish scheme and tries to move forward, he has a lot to concentrate on, namely taking over a new company with his twin brother Carter. On Monday morning, Gabriella meets her new boss, Connor the one night stand, can it get any more awkward? Well written, hilarious, with characters you want to root for, a real winner.

Getting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry is a wonderful romantic comedy. I laughed a lot through this story as the banter, quips and antics were quite hilarious. Ms. Perry is a ‘new-to-me’ author who I will now be following quite closely, after reading this fantastic story!
Gabriella Martin may only be 29 years old, but her biological clock has been ticking quite loudly. She would love nothing more than to become a mother. So, with her window of opportunity to fall pregnant closing up quite quickly, and also, as she hasn’t got a man in her life and doesn’t have enough time to allow nature to take its course- she and her best friend hatch a desperate plan that they hope will result with a ‘bun-in-the-oven’. Their scheme involves picking up a sexy stranger, seducing them and then making off with the ‘goods’ before he’s any wiser. Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans… because things certainly don’t go according to plan for Gabriella’s heist. Sure, the stranger was entirely sexy, and the sex was off-the-charts HOT- but then fumbles and gets ‘caught’ making off with the ‘goods’. Panic sets in and Sophie takes off, vowing to never try that ploy again- and thankful that she’ll never see his face again. But never say never, right? Because come Monday morning Sophie discovers that he’s now the new owner of the company she works for. #Mortified. How is she supposed to work with this man knowing him so intimately, plus the fact that he knows what she tried to do. But when he needs her help to get the company back on track, bargains are made that will change both their lives forever!
This is such a witty, funny and romantic story- with just enough drama to keep things interesting. The story had more depth than I was expecting, with emotive scenes that were sweet and tender. But there are some serious sparks between them too- with makes for great reading!
I hope this isn’t the last we hear/see of these characters, because I also want to know what happens with Carter, and with Maria- and PLEASE Ms. Perry, don’t leave Alexandria with Cal the AH! She needs her own HEA story, too!!!!
I will definitely be looking out for Ms. Perry’s next book!
Thank you, Ms. Perry!
Getting the Goods, by Elizabeth Perry, is an hilarious romantic comedy. From the beginning, the author has you cracking up with the antics of the characters. Never in my wildest dreams would I anticipate that as the logical option, but “bad” decisions always come in pairs. The lead characters are the epitome of what makes this book work and work well. If you do not fall out of your chair laughing throughout this book, you’ve definitely picked the wrong genre. I enjoyed the dynamics of how the story unfolds and the “battles” that occur within the story. It was fun and enchanting to read.
I loved this book! This is a story about a woman is running out of time to have a baby. She is willing to do what it takes to have one even if it means a one night stand. What happens when an unforgettable meeting of a man changes things for her? These two characters are connectable and lovable. Their chemistry together is off the charts plus they had me on an emotional roller coaster ride. This book kept me reading until the last page, I couldn’t put it down. A must read!
Getting the Goods was my first Elizabeth Perry novel but it certainly won’t the last. Admittedly the plot sounded a bit corny with a sperm thieving heroine but it definitely piqued my interest and oh my gosh, the author did a superb job turning this into a hilariously funny, laugh out loud story!
I can’t wait to dig into this author’s backlist to see what else she has to offer!
This is the first book I read written by the author Elizabeth Perry. Once I started reading I could not put this book down. The main characters Gabby and Connor were well written, funny, and sexy. The story kept me interested and many times had me laughing. Some of the lines that came out of Gabby’s mouth were simply amazing. Connor was sexy, arrogant, and sweet mixed all together. I am hoping that there will be a future Carter book in the works.
Uproariously good! Seriously, I laughed until I cried while reading “Getting the Goods.” I have not had the chance to read anything from Elizabeth Perry before I picked this one up, but I can assure you that it won’t be my last!
Gabby is turning thirty and really isn’t looking for love or a future with someone. The idea of a little one is another story. Her and her best friend hatch a schemingly crazy idea, one for the movie scripts, and set out to accomplish it. Of course, best laid plans…
Connor is an unsuspecting victim, in more ways than one. The one time he actually has more than a fleeting feeling for someone she wants to run away.
This was so much fun. The storyline added twists to something we are used to seeing in the rom-com category. The emotions were balanced and at the end I was fully invested in the characters and wanting more. Thanks for a great read! On to see what else Ms. Perry has to one-click!
