Hoping for a fresh start after her ex-fiancé cheats on her before the wedding, supermodel Missy Peters moves to a new city and opens an upscale clothing boutique. When a puppy darts into traffic during her morning coffee run, Missy rushes to save the innocent pooch, only to be rescued herself when gym owner Nick Zambini pulls her out of harm’s way.

Nick is handsome, intelligent and witty, and his smile does crazy things to Missy’s belly. Ignoring her obvious attraction, she discovers their business goals are the same: to help people look and feel their best. When Nick suggests they join forces professionally, Missy is all for that enterprise, but she’s not ready to trust in more.

Will spending time with Nick entice Missy to risk her heart a second time? And will these two workaholics discover the most perfect venture of all is love?

 

My Review: 4 Stars

 

Former supermodel, Missy, has been cheated on (and by her fiance, no less), so she's got trust issues. A funny first meet with Nick literally almost knocks her off her feet, but he's all business.

 

I enjoyed the way Nick was able to worm his way into Missy's life through his business propositions by using charm and attraction. I loved the chemistry that was palpable between this couple and eagerly devoured those passages, but there were a few too many repetitions for me and there were a couple of random occurrences that bothered me a little, as they felt accidental to me.

 

Hatler always does a great job of bringing a side of humor to her plate of romance and the fun characters are the cherry on top. It's always a tasty treat to immerse myself into one of her stories for an afternoon and this one was no different. This series is comprised of short stories, but they always leave me feeling satisfied. Although there were a few small detours, this was still an enjoyable read.
