SELECTION POSTDate 6 - L is for Labor
I'm gonna be reading
. The heroine is a nanny and the book is listed on Goodreads' "Popular Blue Collar Romance Books" (see link below)https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/...
It took me a while to find a book. I'm going to read
. The hero owns a carpentry and construction business, and the heroine is his assistant.I found this book on this list: Best Romance Books with Blue Collar Heroes
I am going to be reading
. The love interest is a mechanic according to the book’s description.
A police officer (chief) is a blue collar job, right?
Anja wrote: "A police officer (chief) is a blue collar job, right?"I would ask MountainKat, just to be sure. She made the distinction between a beat cop (blue collar) and a detective (not blue collar), so I think a police chief would probably fall into the detective category.

I also just realized the book I've been listening to since Monday totally works for this category. I'm such a dork. They don't focus on his job in this book, so I didn't even think of it until I saw it on one of the blue collar lists. *facepalm*
