“Romantic Comedy of the Year!”“This novel is a Netflix movie waiting to happen.”“I loved every second of this book!”“Warning: This author causes book hangovers.”“Oh my. Be still my heart.”“Laugh out loud of epic proportions.”“Loved it. Still laughing.”Ruth “Ruthless” Harper is on the verge of becoming managing partner at her all-male consulting firm and she won’t let anything stand in her way. … laughing.”
Ruth “Ruthless” Harper is on the verge of becoming managing partner at her all-male consulting firm and she won’t let anything stand in her way. That includes men, relationships, and that dreaded F word, FEELINGS—distractions she eliminated long ago.
After the worst day ever (a near-death experience and a public wedgie, for starters), Ruth realizes she doesn’t want to live and die alone. She puts together a business plan to find the perfect man and dives head first into the murky online dating pool. All she wants is a high-powered executive who understands how important her career is. If only it were that easy.
Problem is most men are intimidated by Ruth’s confidence and shocked by her bluntness. The exception being her landscape designer, Nick, whose cool demeanor and unsolicited dating advice are driving her nuts. He’s the antithesis of the business-oriented man Ruth envisions for herself, so why do all signs keep pointing back to him?
A romantic comedy novel for the ages. Order now. Don’t delay. Operators are standing by.

I adored this book! Romantic, funny, and heart warming!
Rich Amooi is back and better than ever! I’ve been waiting for this book ever since hearing it was coming out and let me tell you, it does not disappoint. If you’re looking for fun, romantic, fast-paced entertainment, this one’s for you. Also, I think Rich wrote it for me even though he doesn’t come right out and say it. xo
This book is hilarious!! It grabs you from the first page and never let’s go. It would make a Great rom-com movie!
This book had me at the very first sentence of the very first page. It’s not often I come across a story that captivates and entertains me from the onset, but fellow readers, this was one of those times.
I managed to hold it together until about paragraph four of page one, by which point I was laughing so hard I was almost crying. This is my first foray into Mr. Amooi’s writing, but it will most certainly NOT be my last.
But just as importantly, it’s a damn good story. Very well developed, three-dimensional characters with heart and grit, and frailties that endear them to the reader. Completely believable (and hilarious!) scenarios painted so vividly you feel like you’re sitting in the room watching it in person.
Thank you thank you sir, for such a brilliant and pleasurable read!

IT’S NOT PMS, IT’S YOU is a stand-alone romantic comedy that will have you snort-laughing out loud. I suggest reading in a location where you won’t have to stop to explain your laughter.
Dating when you are a strong woman leads to this title. “It’s not PMS, it’s you!” is what a woman often needs to say when a man asks, “is it that time of the month, sweetheart?” just because she didn’t fall at his feet for every smarmy line that came out of his mouth. Ruth is a strong woman who, after the worst day of her life, has decided that there is more to life than business deadlines. This leads to those snort-inducing laughs for the readers when she goes on date after date. Trust me when I say, those men are out there.
If you’re ready for a laugh per page reading, pick this one up. It will turn any mood to happy and even a bit of calm Zen.

A really good slightly older couple romance.
Ruth has focused on her career for so long that she’s forgotten to have a home life. So when she has a near-death experience, she’s rattled to realize that she’s pushed everyone but her assistant/best friend away. Lucky for her, she’s hired Nick to redo her backyards landscaping. They might just be perfect for each other.

There’s a lot to be said for that saying that “opposites attract” – and it can be quite interesting to see it come alive in a well-written, hilarious book!
Ruth Harper is a workaholic, but very content with her life. That is, until the worse day yet hits her – near-death experience and all the rest – and makes her realize that she doesn’t really want to be alone – she needs to find the “perfect man”. She has a definite vision of that man who must be a high-powered executive who fully understands how important her career is. Unfortunately, the one man she keeps coming back to is her landscape designer, Nick, the complete opposite of what she thinks she wants and needs. He, in fact, would drive her crazy in no time! Yet he’s the one who truly understands her. Will she be able to move on from Nick? Or will she finally realize how perfect that easy-going, laid-back man actually is?
This was a great, fun book with an adorable story line and wonderful characters. Even the secondary characters were perfect additions to keep the book fun and intriguing. Will Ruth find her man? Grab your copy and read all about her journey toward happiness!
The title alone grabbed my attention and the story line kept my attention. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and will definitely be reading more from him. There are moments of humor that will make you laugh out loud more than once and the characters are entertaining and very likable.

Hilarious, as are all of his books that I’ve read. I hope to read them all.
I liked how this business woman realized maybe she should have a life outside of the office and looks for love in some places that are funny.
Ruthless Ruth, has an epiphany after a near death experience. Her aim is to find a man with her list of requirements. Dee her faithful assistant takes on this task for her. Ruth has some of the craziest dating experiences, I think Bagel Barney will live in my head for life now.
Nick is landscaping Ruth’s garden, these two opposites are soon fighting their connection. I loved their discourse.
It was great to read how Ruth reassesses her life and in the end her empathy and compassion lead her on to bigger and better things.
4.5 stars
Each book is so different and I do laugh quite a bit, along with smiling and the occasional gaped mouth. These books are a real treat so spread the word and keep reading. Three down and counting!
One of the best books I’ve read in a long time
My first read my Rich Amooi and I was not disappointed. Filled with humor and laugh out loud moments. There was also character depth while maintaining a light hearted read. A clean romcom.
GREAT book! Ruth and Dee are both truly special, and Nick is a real darling. I love the characters and the plot. There are lots of laughs along with a sweet, clean romance. I’ll be coming back for more.
laughed till I cried!!
Omg..read in almost a sitting. I had seen books by the author before but wasn’t sure what to expect. Found this in Prime reading and borrowed it, thought it looked cute and sat down and didn’t come back up until the end!
I don’t know how this is the first book I’ve read by Rich Amooi, but it won’t be the last. He’s the type of author who writes fun, whimsical books that I love reading (and aspire to write!) I was caught up in the entire story, and can’t wait to read more.
