Hmmm...kinda torn about this one. There was for one, a lot I liked about it. They had an original meet-cute between Adam and Eve (not the mention their names, lol) where he rescues her from a bathtub after a tree falls through the roof, which is quite a bit of bad luck, I must say. Or good, if you count the fact that a sexy fireman is who saves her, depending on her point of view. Then again, this is a lady who had to stay in her parents' house because lightning struck HER roof, so you get the idea. Then of course, that, surprise, surprise, it's Adam who her mother set her up with on a blind date. Out of embarrassment, she takes off, but Adam, not to be deterred, goes after her, and they end up having their date after all, which once again to her surprise, goes very well. So well in fact, that he wants to date her again. Perfect, right? What can go wrong.
Well, he's got dogs. Eve is afraid of dogs. And this here, is our conflict.
So, I'm a pet lover, sure. I have a dog myself, and I actually enjoyed the scenes with the pets, Eve's mischievous little kitty Pookie, plus Adam's big, yet endearing dogs, Butch and Sundance. However, here's where the story fell a little flat and drifted off to mundane, as the story veers off towards the conflict of Adam getting along with Pookie, and Eve finally liking dogs. That's not much of a conflict and it lent little to a plot. This aspect of the story was more developed than any other, and I would've liked more about Eve's mom (who I despise, by the way, but touching on her relationship with her parents would have added more layers to the story) and Adam's quirks of liking everything plain, and his past with that girlfriend of his who his mom ADORES. Instead everything falls on a thread of them liking each others' pets. Any other conflict more or less was dealt rather quickly.
Although the story did pick up when Eve pet sit Adam's dogs and Sundance got a hold of the chocolates Adam gifted her, adding some tension to the plot, that too was dealt with quickly.
Still, it was a light and cute romantic story, and a quick read when you don't want to digest something heavy.
