My review:

Nora & Duke meet with a smooch when she’s on a terrible blind date with someone else. They have a perfect night hanging out, but Nora is leaving town so their meet cute wasn’t at the right time.

Flash forward 3 years and now she’s interning at his company, while working herself to the bone for a cleaning company to make ends meet. A bit of a tricky situation this is as there’s some slight favoritism, and another intern who is awful herself, but you can’t really knock her for seeing what’s kinda there.

I can always count on Cindy to give me reads that make me smile amidst being sad and mad for the characters as well. I wanted to throttle Duke’s father. What a douche he was. Also, Nora’s mom really needed to get her act together. Lastly, I could have went without Duke having a girlfriend when they meet again.

Overall, super cute and super fun. Loved the full circle epilogue.

Narration notes:
She did a fabulous job.

Book blurb:

It was just one date. My friend told me I needed more fun in my life, so I reluctantly said yes.

Fun wasn’t exactly in my wheelhouse. After watching my own mother’s love life implode time and time again, it’s only natural that I have a few rules to protect myself.

Actually, it’s just one rule: avoid relationships with men so I don’t get attached.

I wasn’t worried. Getting attached has never been a problem for me.

This guy was just a warm body in a chair. I was here for the basketball game. I was absolutely NOT here for my date. Or the kiss cam. Or the kiss. Or the impromptu evening with the one man who seems bent on throwing my tidy world off of its axis.

But when my life takes a nose dive, he’s also the man who seems bent on proving to me that good men do exist, dreams can come true, and sometimes throwing out the rule book is when the magic really starts to happen.
