| Olivia "Liv" Leigh is a wealthy socialite and spa owner and above all else a people pleaser. She suspects her high society fiance Geoff is cheating on her and she sets out to prove it. With a slight change in her appearance she sets off to discover if her affluent betrothed is stepping out. While sneaking around she is doored by Mike, a sexy mechanic. Mike mistakes Liv for a down on her luck working class girl and offers her a job as his cleaning lady. What follows is an hilarious chain of events full of kooky pets and unconventional new acquaintances.
This was an enjoyable funny romance, full of wonderfully quirky characters. I am in love with Mike. He is quite simply a hero. He is sexy and kind, funny and generous. Liv is not your typical heiress, she is genuinely sweet and likable, although I did find it hard to relate to her wealthiness. I love how the relationship between them develops so softly. The plot is interesting and fast-moving. But it does seem a bit unrealistic that the whole story takes place in a two week time frame. I love when there are animals added to my romance and this had something for any animal lover. I found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion and I read the entire story in one sitting.
