Review

The humor and sassy tone of this work sets the stage for a woman caught up in more than she can handle. Yet, the charm and situational humor of the work don’t leave the reader feeling embarrassed for our protagonist at all. Her charming manner and inquisitiveness make her the ideal person for such circumstances to happen to. This was a fun and quick read for anyone who likes a light romantic comedy without the severe drama.
