When the story begins, lady lawyer, Kate, has just purchased her first house and it needs a bit of renovation. After the end of her relationship with fellow lawyer, Michael, a year before, the purchase seemed to be the first step in the process of moving on with her life. When Kate finds out that Michael is now engaged to another lawyer in the firm, she needs to prove she is over him by inventing her own relationship.
Dominic is a former architectural student who is working for the family construction business since his father's heart attack three years earlier. He's the nephew of Kate's new neighbor and although they had an unusual first meeting, he would love to get a chance to remodel such a beautiful house.
The stage is set when the two make a run to the local hardware store and bump into Michael and his fiancé. Once Dominic is clued in, he agrees to play Kate's boyfriend as long as she helps his sister with her divorce.
This was a quick read with plenty of steam and laughs along the way. I loved getting such insight into why each of the characters was hesitant at making their fake relationship a real one. I will tell you this, Kate's ex might be perfect on paper, but Dominic is the one you want to burn the paper for. He's hot, sexy, and has a heart of gold. This guy needs to go on a list for best book boyfriend. I hope we get to hear more about Kate and Dominic as the Sorenson Family Saga continues.
