. . . .

“His name is Nick,” I said. “He seems like a total gentleman, not to mention he’s insanely gorgeous. Can I get permission to go on a date with him before he asks me out?”

Patti scoffed, stretched her leg out, and reached for her right foot. “No way.”

Why did she have to be so difficult? I was playing by her rules. “What’s the point of waiting until he asks me out, and then calling you? That’s just stupid.”

“Why should you wait? Let’s see. Brad. Paul. Mike. Marcus. And don’t think I didn’t see the wink your co-worker, Matt, gave you at lunch today.”




“The Boyfriend Bylaws” is billed as the first novella in a series called “Totally Fit” and is filled many, many tangible laugh aloud moments that will have you recalling your own good old days. How many times it seems you stuck your foot in your mouth around a hot guy. Tapped for the adult genre this light hearted romance is suitable for the older young adults as well.

Hatler’s novella focuses around a group of friends who work together at a local fitness center. The banter between these friends is downright comical. With the fitness center going under, Nick steps in and saves it. Melanie, your average young hot woman struggling with relationship woos in search for the ONE, will leave you smiling and craving for more. Hatler’s witty dialogues are highly seasoned and spot on and she even tosses in some shock value moments.

I f your in the mood for some light romance that’s not over the top sexual, check out “The Boyfriend Bylaws”. You will not be disappointed and best of all…. There is more to come soon in the second installment of the “Totally Fit Series”.
