Alina Jacobs is an author of cozy mystery and romance books. By day, she is an architect; at night, she is a writer crafting beautiful romance books and cozy mystery books filled with twists and turns.
Bridezillas and Billionaires is the first novel in Weddings in the City by Alina Jacobs. The book is known for its extreme and wild humor, which might make you love it or leave you puzzled about its appeal. The story revolves around Ivy, a wedding planner who could use more assertiveness. Despite facing challenging clients, whom she humorously refers to as trolls, Ivy handles them with kindness and patience, even in situations where most people might lose their cool.
The plot thickens with the character of Evan Harrington, a billionaire. He shockingly discovers, through undeniable photographic evidence, that his fiancée, Camilla, has been unfaithful to him with multiple men, including Evan’s father. Displaying a rare moment of clarity and decisiveness, Evan cancels the wedding and vanishes, leading to a whirlwind of chaos and unpredictable events.
The story is a rollercoaster of outrageous situations and characters, blending humor with unexpected twists. It’s a narrative that challenges the norms of typical romantic stories, offering readers a unique and entertaining experience.
Ivy unexpectedly finds Evan in her car as she drives home. Surprisingly, he ends up coming home with her. They share a series of funny and witty exchanges before Evan leaves the next day, intrigued by Ivy and feeling there might be something special about her.
As the story progresses, Ivy and Evan spend more time together due to Ivy’s new client – Evan’s demanding and difficult stepsister, who is also a bride-to-be. Working on the stepsister’s wedding brings Ivy and Evan into frequent contact, leading to amusing arguments and a growing realization of their mutual attraction. Despite their efforts to deny it, the chemistry between them is undeniable.
Bridezillas and Billionaires is filled with humor and quirky situations, particularly highlighting the extravagant and sometimes absurd behavior of the wealthy. Throughout all the chaos and laughter, Ivy and Evan grapple with their feelings for each other. The big question is whether they will acknowledge their connection and the potential for a real relationship or if they will let this unique opportunity slip away.
This book offers a humorous and somewhat exaggerated take on romance and the world of wedding planning, posing the question of whether love can triumph amid the madness of high-society weddings and undeniable attraction.
In Her Pumpkin Patch is the third novel in the Svensson Brothers series by Alina Jacobs. Penny embodies the spirit of Halloween and autumn with a deep love for everything related to the season. In her hometown of Harrogate, Halloween is a big celebration, and Penny has always been thrilled to be part of it. She returns to Harrogate for a temporary job with one of the town’s wealthiest and most influential families, the Svenssons.
Garrett Svensson, one of the older brothers in the family, is a successful businessman along with his siblings. They have distanced themselves from a polygamist cult led by their father, a task that has consumed much of Garrett’s time as he strives to protect his family. Unlike Penny, Garrett is not a fan of Halloween, finding himself bewildered by Penny’s enthusiastic nature and her approach to work.
Their relationship starts with intense sexual tension, marked by electrifying moments that are often interrupted by Garrett’s brothers or other interruptions. When they finally give in to their feelings, it’s a passionate affair. Penny becomes a positive influence in Garrett’s life, introducing him to new perspectives and ways of celebrating holidays. Her presence helps him create happier memories, replacing the unpleasant ones from his past.
This story is a delightful Halloween-themed romance, contrasting Garrett’s ‘grumpy’ demeanor with Penny’s ‘sunshine’ personality. It’s filled with drama, jealousy, lies, and deception, but also heartwarming and sweet moments. The narrative takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster, making it an engaging and entertaining read.
Hating and Dating Your Boss with Style is the second novel in the Manhattan Svensson series by Alina Jacobs. It’s the story of Phoebe and Mike. Phoebe has been working as the general manager at The Maxine Hotel, hoping her lower salary would eventually lead to her owning the hotel. However, her plans are upended when Mike, a member of the wealthy Svensson family, buys the hotel.
Mike has a reputation for transforming smaller hotels into high-end boutique establishments, but The Maxine presents an unexpected challenge. To him, the hotel seems beyond repair and might need to be completely demolished and rebuilt. Phoebe, on the other hand, is adamant about preserving the hotel. She’s committed to protecting the hotel’s legacy and the staff who depend on it, despite Mike’s intentions.
As the story unfolds, Phoebe and Mike find themselves in a complicated situation. Phoebe must navigate her professional aspirations, her commitment to the hotel staff, and her evolving relationship with Mike. The narrative explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and the complexities of workplace dynamics, all set against the backdrop of the bustling New York hotel industry. This novel promises a mix of drama, romance, and the challenges of balancing professional goals with personal relationships.
In Yeah, I Hate-Ate Your Cupcake! by Alina Jacobs, the third book of The Manhattan Svenssons series, we meet Karlie, a socially awkward woman from a wealthy New York City family, and Liam, the owner of a high-precision manufacturing company. Karlie is dealing with a challenging situation: her twin sister, Roberta, has not only stolen her boyfriend, Marcus but is also marrying him. She wants Karlie to be the maid of honor. In a moment of desperation, Karlie invents a fake boyfriend.
At a restaurant, trying to make her lie believable, Karlie points out a handsome stranger who has just walked in and approaches him to play along with her story. This stranger is Liam, who is shocked by Karlie’s boldness and dismisses her in front of everyone, much to her embarrassment.
Later, Liam learns from his brother about a critical business issue. A company vital to their operations is up for sale, and its reclusive owner is coming to New York for a series of social events, including weddings. Coincidentally, this owner is connected to Karlie.
This unexpected connection leads to a situation where Liam and Karlie need each other. They consider forming a mutually beneficial arrangement to solve their respective problems.
