SYNOPSIS
Cool, calm and competent, events planner Paige Walker loves a challenge. After a childhood spent in and out of hospitals, she's now determined to prove herself—and where better to take the world by storm than in the exhilarating bustle of Manhattan? But when Paige is let go from the job she loves, she must face her biggest challenge of all—going it alone.
Except launching her own events company is nothing compared to hiding her outrageous crush on Jake Romano—her brother's best friend, New York's most in-demand date, and the only man to break her heart. When Jake offers Paige's fledgling company a big chance, their still-sizzling chemistry starts giving her sleepless nights. But can she convince the man who trusts no one to take a chance on forever?
REVIEW
I can't give this story more than three stars because this book was really nothing special. While it wasn't bad, it wasn't good, either. It's just an average story with average characters.
Paige is someone who didn't have it easy when she was a kid. When Paige and her two dear friends lose the job they all love, their world momentarily falls apart. But Paige has a great brother who has a great best friend that kicks Paige in the ass and tells her how it is. He doesn't let her cry about it, he rather gives her a solution she needed.
Jake, a very good friend of Paige's brother, has always been there for Paige. But he's a ladies man and Paige knows that, although that doesn't help her case of being in love with him since she was a teenager. She's been suffering from a distance because of him every time she heard about him being with another woman.
I don't know what it is about this man, but I couldn't find anything remotely sexy about him. He's just a regular asshole who shows little to no feelings. He loves women, but he thinks Paige is just too good for him and, besides, he promised his brother he'll keep his hands away from her.
He's had feelings for her for a lot of years and so has she, but they never gave each other a chance. Paige wanted to, but Jake was too scared.
And I truly didn't find anything special about Paige. These characters weren't outstanding ones. I liked Paige's friends because they're supportive and even though they both have different personalities, they were working together nicely. And I liked Matt most of the time.
This book wasn't completely unenjoyable. The read was fine, it's an easy one, but you start to feel the characters repeat their phrases and their stories and it starts to feel like you're reading the same page over and over again.
This book just didn't pull me in like I thought it would. It's not the worst one I've ever read and it's not the best one either. It just sits somewhere in the middle.
