*A HOT Standalone Romantic Comedy *Everything in life was going perfectly, but then my luck expired.It all started when I got a new job, which came with a new guy. That’s when I managed to cause an unforeseeable disaster, which took down an entire company in less than a week.The new job, the new guy and a big mouth led to another giant mistake. Then, one more for good measure.Flash forward a … giant mistake. Then, one more for good measure.
Flash forward a couple of weeks, and …
I’ve got milk … because I’m dating the milkman,
and yes, milk did his body good.
Not only do milkmen still exist,
but I’ve come to learn that some women hire a milkman
to deliver more than just milk.
I’m not the sharing type,
but I also don’t like to cry over spilled–you get my point.
So, I can either have a cow or search for greener pastures.
Depending on my decision, though,
I need to ask myself if I’m prepared to tell my future children
that their father is, in fact, the milkman.

Milkman is book five in the Man Cave series but it can be read as a standalone. This one started off a little confusing for me. It started with a prologue from Wesley then we jumped Chapter One with Madelyn’ s crazy life but once I saw the connection, I wasn’t confused anymore.
Wesley was a child model for a milk commercial. After he has has second rate modelling jobs. . Being a model is not his dream job. Madelyn just started a new job at an advertising company. Her new company is crazy. Her boss has weird ideas. She meet Wesley at her new job when he’s called in to be a model for one of their campaigns. Her and Wesley have great chemistry. They keep finding themselves in funny situations. This one was definitely a fun read.
Shari J Ryan’s rom-coms never disappoint and this was no exception. I laughed, I loved, I rolled my eyes, I swooned. I fell head over heels for Wesley! I love his and Madelyn’s banter. Every wall that she tries to put up, he tears it down. As a model, all he is ever seen for is his body and desperately wants someone to get to know the intellectual man behind the sexy body. Madelyn is ready to set the world on fire and check some goals off her list and that doesn’t include the sexy model that tries his best to catch her eye. Once these two find their way to each other, life throws them every obstacle possible. Is their love strong enough to handle it or will life tear them apart??
Milkman is the 5th standalone on the Man Cave romantic comedy series. If you enjoy outrageous and over the top novels of humor then I would recommend grabbing a copy of this one when it goes live. When I first began reading it I felt like I was reading a book based on The Office (from TV) as the heroines new boss had a few screws loose. This is one of the main reasons why I sat down and devoured the book in one sitting. I simply couldn’t take my eyes off the words and the ridiculousness of it all. I love a book that takes me away from reality for and Milkman, with all its glory, did this for me. I very much enjoyed the read.
As I mentioned, each of the books in the series are complete standalones and can be read in any order. This is my first Shari J. Ryan book (although I do own the first three books in the series) but it won’t be my last. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series this year.

The Man Cave series is one of the funniest rom-com I have read lately. Milkman had me laughing throughout the book. Wesley was a child model who is known for his commercials for milk. He is now an adult model but really wants to do something different. Maddy is trying to find out what she is suppose to be doing with her life. After losing her job, she thinks she’s find the ideal job working for a start up advertising agency. But the job is not what she expected but she feels that she has to continue working until she find another job. Wesley and Maddy meets at a commercial shoot for an advertising campaign that Maddy’s agency is doing for a client. The client has an unusual product and Maddy doesn’t agree with the direction that her boss is taking with the campaign. She does what she is suppose to. Wesley finally wises up to what he is modeling for and is furious.
What happens afterward is a mess of craziness, attraction and trying to find employment for both Wesley and Maddy. They both started with friendship but that didn’t last long due to their crazy chemistry with each other. Add in Maddy’s crazy roommate’s business idea that involves Wesley which they implement and Maddy’s new job that was a better fit for her and you are in for a ride.
Wesley and Maddy are both on the same journey to discover themselves, learning to take the necessary steps towards what they reach really want in life, and having someone in their life that understands them and love them for who they are. Their journey is just a little crazy and filled with fun and chemistry!
I loved this book! Definitely a real page turner, with so many laugh out loud moments that reading late at night is not recommended. Well, unless your husband doesn’t mind be woken up. This whole series has been enjoyable but this is my favorite of all. Ms. Ryan definitely has a way with words!
I felt like Milkman started a little slow. It left me wondering how the characters would meet and how the story would unfold. As soon as Maddy’s new job was revealed, I couldn’t put the book down.
This was a humorous story with a little drama and a very unique storyline. It’s a wonderful addition to Shari J. Ryan’s Man Cave series!
The Man Cave series has been loads of fun. These are cute, quirky stories full of fun and romance. Got Milk? Well Wesley does, just not the exact milk he was expecting. When he mixes modeling and pleasure with Madelyn’s who is assigned to get his commercial on track, it just starts a spark between this couple and really cute romance.
Milkman is a sweet, fun romance! Being young and in your twenties is a time to discover who you are and what you want to do with the rest of your life and that is exactly where Wesley and Maddy are in their lives.
This book is filled with fun and weird dating moments that will either have you happy you don’t have to date anymore or wondering how you will navigate this crazy world of dating.
Finding that one person in the world you want to spend the rest of your life with is a process and Wesley and Maddy figure out that fact as well as sometimes is it all about the timing.
Wesley’s publicist tells him to do interview to attract new fans. All the interviewer wants to discuss is his Got Milk ads he is known for but Wesley wants more than that. Madelyn is trying to get to her dream job in fashion and starts by working with in advertising. Wesley and Madelyn meet when he is model in campaign at her new job. Madelyn doesn’t agree with way advertising is being done and eventually Wesley agrees. She tries to help him get out of contract but is there more to it? Is Madelyn falling for the milkman? Does Wesley feel anything toward her?
Milkman (Man Cave Series Book 5) by Shari Ryan
5+++++ Stars
What a spectacular romantic comedy written by Shari!! Fair warning: Laugh out loud moments. Shari totally out did herself! I can always look forward to a great book when it comes to her and this surely didn’t disappoint!! I love everything about it! I was hooked!
“Always consider your options, and be careful if there is a full glass of milk sitting at the edge of a table when hands are reaching out from every direction. The milk will continue to spill until life’s lesson is understood. Also it’s inappropriate for a grown man to cry over spilled milk, so I don’t recommend that either.”
“He’s a Milk-Dud, no question about it.”
“The only hashtag I can focus on is #milkman.”
Very highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!
When you read the very first line of the very first chapter of a book and you are hooked, you know you are in for something great.
Madelyn and the Milkman make such a fun couple whose romance isn’t your typical boy meets girl. Shari does a wonderful job making these two realize who they are to each other and making these characters work for their HEA.
Milkman is a fun read which showcases Shari’s unique sense of humor. There will be no crying over spilt milk with Shari Ryan’s Milkman!
This is why I love Shari J. Ryan! Her writing has yet to disappoint me! I could not bring myself to put down this book! I was hooked from the start! If you enjoy romance with comedy mixed in for some laugh out loud moments, this book is for you! I love a good love story, and they usually make me cry! It was refreshing to read a story that made me laugh, gave me all the feels, and left me wanting more! I hope you enjoy Milkman as much as I did!
Milkman was a funny and interesting book with a unique and somewhat comedic story line. Both Wesley and Madelyn are down on their luck in terms of life and their employment status when they end up meeting through a mutual job oppportunity. The chemistry between them is there from the start, but they have a sort of slow burn friendship turned more. They both ultimately learn that you have to work on yourself before you can be the best you for someone else. I enjoyed the ending of the book.
This book was laugh out loud funny. I enjoyed the banter. The real life situations like bad dates, one nights stands, crazy ex’s and the jokes. I never had a milkman but now I’m sad and feel like I was missing out!
I loooved Wesley and Madelyn’s story!! It was a great light read. It is laugh out loud funny, hot, and fun. Madelyn is a relatable character just trying to find her place in the world and find love. Wesley is looking to pay his bills. And they share some pretty fun time together while finding what they both want. I give it 5 stars!!
OMG! Love, love, love this story! I literally laughed until I cried! This is a rom-com at its finest! This whole story started with a particular type of milk and one that a particular model was supposed to campaign for….but all that went south when someone forgot to read the fine print. What ensues is nothing short of a comedy of errors, a job lost, a job found and a love that will last past any expiration date!! This is a must read for all rom-com lovers!!!
5 MILKMAN STARS!! Are you thirsty? Milkman will fill your glass with humor, sexiness and tender moments that you will devour. Wesley and Madelyn story had me laughing so hard at times my stomach was hurting. Shari J. Ryan is phenomenal with her storytelling, I feel like I am watching a movie play out. I highly recommend this book, so make sure to 1-Click this one.
I am loving this series by Shari Ryan.
This book was such a fun read with so many laugh out loud moments. It was a fast paced read. Once I stared I couldn’t put it down. Wesley and Madelyn’s relationship was slow burn. It started out where they ended up working on the same project gone wrong. To becoming kind of friends by default to a undeniable chemistry that they couldn’t deny. This book was filled with chaos, crazy side characters and a lot of sexiness. But Ryan did sneak in a little bit of emotional in there as well. Because life isn’t always easy. And sometimes love isn’t enough. I guess you’ll have to read to see if Wes and Maddy get their HEA.
Milkman is the 5th book in the Man Cave series, but I had not read the others before reading this one. This didn’t effect my understanding of the story, so you can definitely read it as a standalone. This book had me laughing out loud in parts and wanting to scream at characters in the other. Madelyn is a bit down on her luck with jobs. Her search to find herself and what she truly wants to do is so relatable. It’s so hard as a young adult navigating the work force and trying to figure out who you are. When she meets Wesley, she truly seems to start figuring out what she wants and who she wants to be. I loved this book and highly recommend it! Shari did a great job writing this story!
Such a great book absolutely enjoyed reading it
