Matt
Collins and Phil Fink have worked together for years, but never face to
face as
they live in separate cities and all their dealings have been online.
They both
have a great respect and bond between them, professionally and
personally. Matt
thinks of Phil as a good friend and believes him to be the best
computer
programmer he’s ever worked with. Which is why when Matt wants to
create the
best software possible, he wants to work with Phil to make it a
success. Matt
arrives on Phil’s doorstep read to work and get the job done. Only Matt
never
expected his pal Phil, to really be … Phyllis?
Phyllis
Fink never told anyone in Matt’s firm that she was a man. They all
assumed it
because of her knowledge and camaraderie with many of them. Phil never
corrected them though and was actually highly respected in her field
and didn’t
want to ruin any of that by telling them the truth. She always got her
jobs done
on time and successfully and no one was getting hurt.
However,
when Matt Collins comes to town, she has to pray that he keeps her
secret and
that he will come and go quickly. She doesn’t like discord in her life
and Matt
causes a lot of chaos for her. Especially when their professional
relationship
becomes personal…
Rida Allen
pens an entertaining and endearing tale in You
Have Been Disconnected. Matt and
Phil are realistic and wonderful characters. Their chemistry and
compatibility
were easy to see and their flip and witty dialogue was truly enjoyed.
With the
added sensuality of “IrishCoughE”, Matt’s chat friend, the pages heat
up and
energize a reader. Phil was an amazing woman and I enjoyed her
especially. Her
past, her fears, as well as her determination and drive, were excellent
qualities that made her a powerful woman and memorable character.
With
humour, sexual tension, a great storyline and excellent characters, You Have Been Disconnected shows
all of Rida Allen’s writing talents and then some. Connect
with this story in many ways as soon
as possible. It’s highly recommended to readers who enjoy contemporary
romance
with splashes of humour that is at it’s finest in this story.
