This is one of the best contemporary romance I have read in years! I really liked the book. I would totally read it again.

This book was annoying in that the ending was tooo perfect. Everyone got the kind of Happily Ever After they wanted.

This reminded me of Stephanie Plum novels, LA Story, and maybe a little Shakespearean comedy thrown together (David and Cynthie's part). Very cute and sweet.

For various reasons I had been thinking about this book during the last couple of days, and today the urge to reread it had become so strong that I finally gave in.

This is a very cute romance, full of genuinely funny banter. A little too much talk about shoes for my taste, but any talk about shoes is too much for me, so. Is it believable? Does that matter?

It's the equivalent of a huge tub of ice cream - sure, nothing substantial, but sometimes you just need something like it. And it's good ice cream. Speaking as someone who reads very little m/f romance, this is saying something. Or so I'd like to think ;)
