Love Bank: A Small Town Enemies to Lovers Romantic Comedy (Jobs From Hell Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 602 ratings

In hindsight, maybe I should have known my biggest nemesis would end up locking up my heart.

Believe it or not, running a fertility clinic in Auburn Hill, located right next to a prison, isn’t the worst thing. Nope, the worst thing is the infuriatingly sexy warden of the new prison - who doesn’t care that his newly-released inmates are stopping by my clinic on their way out of town to make a “deposit” for some quick cash. Sure, it’s his circus, but according to him, those clowns aren’t his responsibility once they walk out the door.

Until one of them pulls a gun on me in a desperate robbery attempt and I realize I have to be a little more…ahem…persuasive with the warden. Stumbling upon him in a compromising position is just the leverage I need, and I’m not above a little blackmail. Turns out, he’s not above pushing me up against the door and kissing the hell out of me either.

Adding in ex-lovers, magical goats, scheming mayors, gossiping mail carriers, a man-hating mother, and nonstop seagull shenanigans makes me realize one thing.

Don’t bank on love developing here in Auburn Hell.

Love Bank is a laugh out loud small town RomCom featuring a prison warden who barks orders and a bumbling business woman with more sass than sense. Love Bank is book one in the Jobs From Hell series.

    Love it! Everything from the goat, the seagulls, the cat and the swimmers were all a perfect fit to this hilariously lovable story between the Bain of Lucille's existence! Great read and I can't wait for what is going to come up next!

    This is the first book I've read by Marika and I was pleasantly surprised! It was funny and heart-warming and spicy aswell. I really enjoyed the banter between Bain and Lucy which kept the story interesting. Nice light-hearted read with great characters all round.

    The best fun I’ve had reading a book in quite a while. If I could give more stars I so would

    I dare you not to laugh while reading this rom com because it will be an impossible task.

    This book was so much fun to read, the characters are as fun and realistic as if they were your very own mates. Lucy’s new set of friends are such a hoot, as are a number of other members of this small town.

    Bain, the warden, just WOW....talk about hot.

    Go and get your Marika Ray fix.

    I received this as a complimentary copy and I am giving my honest review voluntarily

    I loved this story from the moment a goat headbutted Lucille's thigh and am excited to rip open the extended epilogue I just downloaded (squee!).

    Lucille was a fun character, although very messed up in how she saw herself (aren't we all in some way?). I loved her arguments with Bain. Heh heh!

    And Bain. Bahaha! He's one witty alpha, yet beneath the smoking-hot exterior resides a mushy heart. *swoon*

    Looking forward to book 2 being released in a few days... yee-ha!

    This is going to hit my top 20 list,which is a feat because I read a ton of books. This book was unpredictable, laugh out loud fun. It was also heartfelt and adorable, and an easy read I had a hard time putting down. I will definitely be going on to read more in the series and checking out Marikas backlist.

    Every book of Marika's I have loved and Love Bank is no exception! Small town romance, enemies to lovers ....... animals! Love Bank has it all! It was such a fun read and had me laughing out loud and some of the things Lucy said! You think Lucy is going to be very serious but at times she has absolutely no filter which I loved. Love Bank was a fantastic start to a brand new series and I can't wait to read the next book.

    I dare anyone who reads this not to picture Tom Hardy as Bain (maybe that's just me!?). Anyway, this is one heck of a story. Spank bank as a setting should say enough, but add in a prison and a whole lot of love/hate sparks and it's just a volcano of hotness to see who burns first! It's funny with raw emotions and life problems thrown in. A basic all rounder in what makes a good book.

    Hilarity all around, Love Bank was a fantastic read. The banter between the main characters, Lucille and Bain had me laughing so hard. There was never a dull moment, I didn’t want to put it down. I really enjoyed Lucille’s friends and hope they all get their own books so we can see more adventures in Hell.
