“Refreshing plot and characters = LOVE!” ~ Jennifer HevernJust because I don’t agree, doesn’t mean I don’t understand…I’m on top of the NYC art world, so when I hear about the elusive potter, it yanks my chain. I’m known for booking the hottest indie artists in NYC, and I’ve never even heard of this guy.
As soon as I meet him and see his exquisite vases, I know I’ve got to showcase his work.… see his exquisite vases, I know I’ve got to showcase his work.
Even though some of the artists I feature are hot, I’ve never crossed that line. They’re my clients, nothing more.
But Henry awakens my body in way I haven’t felt in years. In a way I’ve worked hard to avoid.Watching him mold the clay buzzes my lady back to life.
After I feature his work in my gallery, we’ll count our money and go our separate ways, right? Keep everything casual.
Too bad life always seems to have other plans. And I’m about to get mansplained.

MANSPLAINER is a full-length steamy and poignant romantic comedy from USA Today Bestselling Author, Colleen Charles, who believes beauty lies within our imperfections. Colleen doesn’t believe in following the crowd and asks readers to give this special book a chance. It’s the first book in the Urban Dictionary series but can be read as a standalone.
“Charming!”~ Anna Reads
What an unlikely pair: Meadow and Henry. I loved how Meadow has fought for her place in the art world and her perseverance when she believes in something. It was refreshing to see a male character who has a sense of naivety and innocence. Henry has secluded himself from the world and simply wants to make his art. There are plenty of obstacles for these two, but Ms. Charles keeps it exciting and unexpected. But Shannon has to be my favorite character. His wit and frankness are hilarious. His character alone is worth reading this book.
I loved this book. It was a rollercoaster from start to finish. There were laugh out loud parts that catch you off guard and you will laugh out loud. I found myself being angry and excited as the characters were too. The tenderness in this book is incredible.
Loved this story, Henry is such an emotional and complex character, can Meadow bring out his best so that they can have a relationship, but the other complexity of the story is that Meadow has her own issues to get through so that they can truly move forward in their relationship, get ready for an emotional roller coaster and enjoy the ride.
This book has everything. Likeable characters you will root for: a hot romance: good story; a villain who gets his comeuppance. Even some humor. Read it and enjoy
I LOVED this book. It was so refreshing. Colleen Charles always writes relatable, wonderful characters. Meadow is a very strong, almost alpha-female. I totally fell in love with Henry. So refreshing to not have the trendy alpha-male. But, he is definitely not wimpy or milk-toast. You’ll just have to read the book so you can fall I love with him too . It always amazes me the research that has to go into these books. I thoroughly enjoyed the details that Miss Charles gives us of the art world. Another must-read!
Great story!! Loved the characters, the action and it actually seemed like I was watching a movie as I read it. One overcame bullying, and one overcame dominant parents, but you have to read the book to find out the answer!!
Yes! Every time I read a book by this author, I wonder how she creates such vivid characters with such colourful lives, and still makes them so relatable. I really loved this book. The humour was en pointe and I can’t wait til the next in the series!
I loved reading Meadow and Henry’s story as it was not your typical “alpha male” and “needy female” story! Meadow’s the bold, outgoing owner of an art gallery and Henry’s a shy, reclusive artist. When Meadow hears about Henry’s amazing artwork, she knows that he’s just what she needs to help her struggling art gallery! Unfortunately for Meadow, Henry’s so afraid of being in public, that he does not and will not do art shows! Add Meadow’s “colorful and say what he thinks” assistant Shannon to the mix and you have one great, must read story!
A socially awkward artist. A self-reliant gallery owner. Mansplaination? Innocent exhuberance? Can love and mutual respect find a middle ground in the ever dramatic NYC art world? For a thoroughly entertaining and often humorous read, download this book. You will most certainly enjoy it!
This wonderfully entertaining read is filled with charm, heat, sweetness and steamy romance. This opposites attract story introduces us to Meadow and Henry. Both of these characters are likable and they have great chemistry. With a storyline that is engaging, fun and emotional, you easily get caught up in Henry and Meadow’s romance. This is a very good read.
Such a wonderful story. Sweet,shy Henry and strong, independent Meadow are an unlikely couple who bring out the best in each other. I was cheering for them from the beginning. Nice twists and turns and well developed characters. Was so engrossed I completed it in one sitting.
A must read. It shows how love can conquer your worst fears.
I loved reading Henry and Meadow’s story! It was fun seeing how a “no more love for me” woman and a quiet artist find their happily ever after. Definitely a must read!
