Richard wanted to be accepted for himself—not what he could purchase. At face value, he and Cara had absolutely nothing in common. She sold houses; he lived in a dump. She loved the press; he hid from it. She drove a nice car; his piece of junk was in the shop again. She loved to talk to her mom (his, too); he avoided his mom as much as possible.

Ms. Kimber Chin has written a book about two well-developed characters in a mis-matched world. This quick read was unusual. I found it a little hard to get into the story. However, once I did, my interest picked up. Chin created her book around two very in-depth people whose lives crossed for a reason and captured both of their interests.

There were several important sub characters that made the storyline much better by their actions. The assistants to Cara and Richard were great personalities and added dimension to the book. I recommend this book to those who are looking for a surprisingly HEA without the cookie-cutter manuscript.
