Goodreads: Cool, calm and competent, events planner Paige Walker loves a challenge. After a childhood spent in and out of hospitals, she’s now determined to prove herself—and where better to take the world by storm than in the exhilarating bustle of Manhattan? But when Paige is let go from the job she loves, she must face her biggest challenge of all—going it alone.
Except launching her own events company is nothing compared to hiding her outrageous crush on Jake Romano—her brother’s best friend, New York’s most in-demand date and the only man to break her heart. When Jake offers Paige’s fledgling company their big chance, their still-sizzling chemistry starts giving her sleepless nights. But can she convince the man who trusts no one to take a chance on forever?
Kritters Thoughts: The first full book in the series, but the second story from this "world", but it is based on a different character than the first book. Paige Walker makes a brief appearance in the novella in the first book and she is the focus of this book. She thinks she is headed for a promotion and instead her and her two friends are laid off from an event planning company - where she actually loved her job, maybe not her boss, but at least the job. After a moment to breath and take in the news, she decides to open her own company and with the help of her friends, her brother and a long time crush business is open and love may be in the air!
Like all romance books, this one can be predicted from page one and as I have said before that is just fine with me! I don't mind that I knew where we would end up at the end, but the journey is always fun and enjoyable.
Of course, I have to say that this book definitely included some sexy times, but they fit in the story and didn't overtake the plot. Read this book for the plot and skim over the sexy times if they aren't your cup of tea!
I loved this book so much more than novella and because of this am excited to continue with this series and will follow and read along as they come out. I am hooked!
Rating: absolutely loved it and want a sequel (and there will be one!)

ReplyDeleteThanks for passing this on to me! Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteThat kind of predictability is sometimes just what I need as a reader - I like knowing that I'm going to get what I want from a particular book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a part of the tour!
