Road Tripped by Nicole Archer was a first for me by this author. If you love a good office romance with some funny bantering between the couple then this is the book for you. It took me a couple of chapters to really get into the book, but by the end, I was ready to buy the next book.
Callie really didn’t like any of her co-workers and hated it even more, when she got told that she has to take a road trip across the U.S. with Walker – the office player. Callie and Walker have so many layers to them that it took talking and fighting to get to know one another. But when they started to understand one another better, the sparks were flying and it was steamy.
This was a well written and enjoyable book. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the Ad Agency series. Never had a cross-country road trip but it sounds like fun, I think?!?
Road-Tripped: An Enemies to Lovers Romance (Ad Agency Series Book 1) by Nicole Archer Is absolutely the best thing I have read in a long long time. It is the sweetest, loving and out there story. There were a few sad moments but this book had me in fits of laughter all the way from the start to the finish. Nicole is a new author for me and is now one of my favourites. I am amped up to read more from her. Her writing and the concept of this story is just superb and you can imagine everything she has written. The story is written in both our main characters POV which I love as it gives a story so much more depth.There was not one part of the story that did not fit or gel. It is a true masterpiece.

Field-Tripped is the third book in the Ad Agency Series written by Nicole Archer. This can be read as a standalone story but there are characters from the previous novels and storylines, mentioned. I have read the other books and was glad to see this one available. Like the other books, this is a fun romance with some twists and turns. Eli works for Skip at Shimura Advertising in New York. Eli has been hiding from his past but it comes back and hits him in the head on his newest assignment. Charlie is the owner of the competing agency located in Colorado and part of what Eli has been hiding from. Eli has been involved in the other novels and it’s nice to see him get his own story. He is athletic, strong, and creative. He also is a good friend to have in your corner. Charlie is from his past and he has never gotten over her. She is a daredevil and an independent woman. Can the two of them reconcile what happened in the past? I enjoyed this book as much as the other two in the series and am looking forward to the next book. These are fun romances with a happy ending. I like the tension Nicole Archer creates between the characters and that there is some sort of challenge not just a perfect ending.
Road-tripped by Nicole Archer is the first in the Ad Agency Series. The story is about copywriter Callie Murphy and Shimura’s advertising manwhore Walker Rhodes. The two have ended up on a cross-country trip in an RV for a client’s ad campaign. Callie is brash, has a bad attitude, and does not like Walker or his good looks. Walker thinks that this will be the trip from hell versus time to find his passion for photography again. Can the two get along and survive for the two-month trip? The characters are great in this story. Callie is small but fierce. She has been hurt in the past and does not want to let anyone in especially Walker. Walker is handsome and a Southern gentleman. All the women love being around him. Is there more to Walker than Callie can see? The development of the characters is good and reminds us not to judge a book by its cover, or a person. I could relate to Callie and her having to deal with people after her past experiences. Walker is great and is artistic and fun. The two are fun and engaging. I enjoyed the story and could not put it down, while led to a long night. Ms. Archer pulled me into a fun story and I look forward to reading the next books in the series. After reading the book I want to take a cross-country road trip myself to see what all the fun is about.
Head-tripped by Nicole Archer is the second in the Ad Agency Series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. This story is about violinist, Effie Murphy and Elias aka “El Love”, a rock star. Effie has moved to New York City to rebuild her life. She is having a tough go of it. While doing a favor for a friend she runs into Elias. She has no idea who he is, even though he is a well-known rock star. Something about Effie catches his attention and he is intrigued by her. After a fantastic weekend of music writing with Effie, Elias must leave town. His band is going on tour in Europe and he knows that he will not be seeing Effie again. When the two cross paths again the sparks are lit. Some of the characters are from the first book in the series so if you read the first book the reappearance of characters will be even more enjoyable. I was so excited to get my hands on this book. The characters are fun and sexy. I felt for Effie as she must make tough decisions. Elias is great and very human. He is realistic and struggling with how to handle his relationship with Effie and stardom. I could not wait to find out how they would handle all the challenges of love and Elias’s rock stardom. I tore through it as quickly as the first book. I look forward to reading more of Nicole Archer’s books.
Head Tripped by Nicole Archer, Ad Agency book 2 of 2.
I would say this could be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading the first of this series where you will first meet Effie, as well as some of the others in this book.
I only finished the first book of this series Road Tripped yesterday and fell in love with this author, after reading this one I already want to read them both again.
Effie Murphy, aka f-bomb, a violinist who moves to New York hoping for a brand new start. She’s broken, jobless, and flat broke. Trying to overcome a terrible childhood with an overbearing mother, a twin sister she resented, and a seriously troubled past. She just can not catch a break until one night she is forced to be deceptive and stand in for her twin at an awards ceremony, where she meets Elias.
Elias, aka El Love, is trying to overcome a troubled past and is also the frontman for Urban, one of the hottest rock bands in the world, a band whose concerts are getting stale and in desperate need of some new material. Pressured by his roommate to attend the ceremony he goes along hoping he doesn’t get recognized. He hates the spotlight, he just wants to be normal so is introduced to Effie as the deadbeat out of work musician roommate.
After an incident at the ceremony where Elias helps Effie out, they end up leaving the event where Effie’s antics leave Elias wondering what in the world he is doing with this girl, yet not being able to tear himself away from her. When they end up back at her place, where she makes it clear there will be no funny business between the two of them. The connection is formed at that point through music, he realizes just how talented she is and they end up writing songs together. Then their time together comes to an end. She is heartbroken. He is ok with her believing he is an unemployed nobody because he is leaving in a few days on tour, only problem is he can not quit thinking about her. When he comes up with a way to have her join their band he jumps all over it. Effie, still not having any clue who he really is, when offered the chance to meet him overseas and be a part of what she believes is his “garage band” it only takes a few seconds to go from let me think about it to ok I’ll do it.
How will Effie react when she finds out who he really is? Will she be able to find her place within this group of people so set in their ways? There is a list of rules each member has to follow, these rules set up by Elias way back when they formed the band. The number one rule forces them to hide their growing attraction and relationship, which brings on many hilarious adventures for these two. What happens though when their troubled pasts rear their ugly heads? Can they make it through it? Can the band make it through it? Most important can their hearts make it through it?
I loved loved loved this story. I didn’t find it as LOL funny as the first book but I did find it wrapped deeper in emotion than the first. I fell in love with Effie and Elias..their characters were written beautifully and their stories although tragic in some ways were very touching and written perfectly. I have found myself very protective over my favorite authors and have only added a handful that I will read anything they write no matter what and Nicole Archer has definitely been added to that list. This is only a 5 star read because they won’t let me give any more than that!
Road Tripped by Nicole Archer, Ad agency, Book 1 of a 2 book series.
There was more than a few times that I was reading along with my husband in the room where I tried with everything I had not to LOL while reading this book. I would end up snorting because some parts are just too much LOL. Nicole Archer has a way of describing things that make you laugh about a scene even after a few minutes go by.
This is a romantic comedy about 2 people Callie Murphy and Walker Rhodes.
Callie is a copy writer for her long time friends advertising firm. She landed there with literally just the clothes on her back, a severely bad attitude and horrendous potty mouth after he rescued her from the cause of all of this. She is completely disgusted by her coworkers and spends quite a bit of time creating a list of “murder methods for merrymaking coworkers” her boss/longtime friend inherited this ad agency and spends more time treating it like a playground then a real business. He threatens to fire her on a regular basis but she has too much on him and is in no way in fear of losing her job. The relationship between her and her boss is just one of the many reasons I love this book so much.
Walker Rhodes, the resident photographer/art director, or better known to Callie as the resident “manwhore” hates his job, is sick of women and has lost all his passion in his life long dream. An upcoming cross country tour for an RV client with his partner has him thinking this could be just what he needs to get him out of his rut, until his partner backs out and he is assigned a new partner, none other than “the ice queen” Callie Murphy.
Callie refuses this tour until her boss pours his heart out letting her know the actual stipulations to his inheriting the agency, and if they lose this client it would end them. After all he has done for Callie she can not refuse, besides the fact he was serious when he said he would fire her if she didn’t.
The 2 month adventure begins as they board the RV or as Callie refers to it as the “giant silver dildo” that will become their home for the next 2 months. How in the world these two that can’t stand the sight of each other are supposed to live in such close quarters while they tour the country…well….this is what makes Nicole Archer a genius in my mind. The adventures are awesome, the interaction by these two characters is simply LOL. The storyline is amazing, the hot scenes are seriously HOT, the secondary characters are awesome, the writing is fantastic and I’m running out of fabulous words to describe this book, and the best part??? There’s a second book!!! I can’t wait to dive into part 2 and everything else this author writes…5X a million stars for this book, read it, you will not be disappointed.
