This is another enjoyable read from Rachael Anderson. Based on the books I have read so far by this author, she does not disappoint. It goes to show that one can write an excellent romance story without a whole lot of smut.
 
The story begins with Seth Tuttle being asked to take part in a bachelor auction by his best friend Lanna. Now Seth is always willing to help Lanna, but he does not believe parading himself in front of a stream of women is the way to do it. The way in which he was able to worm himself out of being part of the auction was rather interesting. Seth is a self-made billionaire and a consultant for startup companies. He is a fun loving and spontaneous guy, who is into extreme sports. He is the type of person who always sees the good in every situation. This makes him the complete opposite of the heroine Dr. Grace Warren.
 
Grace is a physical therapist and is considered to be the best in her field. She is a strong believer in the premise that a person’s name depicts their personality. As such her decision to date a guy is based on the meaning of his name. She does not believe in taking risks and as you delve into the story you will discover why.
 
Their initial meeting was amusing and entertaining as such I knew from that moment I was in for a story that would have me laughing at almost every page turn. Despite their differences I thought they made a great couple. I enjoyed the banter between them. It was fun watching Seth trying to get past her barriers as he tried to get to know her. He found her a challenge and being a man who loves challenges, he thought she was the perfect fit for him. If only she would recognize it.
 
I enjoyed reading about the supporting characters. I especially loved Grace’s brother Alex. I liked the way he eventually learned to overcome his hang-ups about being physically challenged. In doing so he was able to cease all that life had to offer. Working it out is a story of hope, happiness and love. It speaks about relationships and not just the romantic kind. It touches on relationships between siblings and best friends. This is a story that will have you laughing from start to finish. I was totally sucked in. The writing is fluid and the pacing is just right.
 
Being a fan of HEA I was happy with how the story was wrapped up. This is definitely a must read and I highly recommend it. If you are a fan of romances that are filled with a lot of sex then you may feel that this book is not for you. However, with this book you would not miss it. So go and get yourself a copy.

The story is super cute and heartwarming.

Grace Warren, she is a homebody, moody and works way too much, she is a physical therapist and one of the best in Seattle. Getting ready to leave to go home her coworker Cameron (I wasn't a fan of him something he says in the book turned me off) asks her to do him a favor by coming to an auction that is auctioning off bachelors for a charity, Promising to pay her back, she reluctantly agrees and arrives at the auction ready to bid on Cameron and hoping to make him pay her back 3x what he is really worth. Instead she encounters a rude and arrogant man that not only bids on Cameron so he can help with the charity he also steals a kiss from her.

Seth is handsome, immature, funny and a danger seeker. His friend Lanna asked him to join the auction but he just wants her to take his money. He wants to help her after promising his BF who passed away and Lanna brother he would take care of her. But she doesn't want the money she wants to earn it. So when Seth shows up at the auction instead of being a part of it he bids $20,000 on one of the men. Seem to piss off the young lady looking to bid on him. To prove he's not gay by stealing a kiss from her making her extremely angry and storming out the door. With every intention of making it the last time they would see each other.

So they thought!!!

After an accident Seth winds up at the clinic Grace works for and he is her patient.
Seth. With great determination Seth does everything in his power to try and get a date with Grace but she is adamant not dating her patients and doesn't want to get involved with him. She has a thing about the meaning of names and she believes Seth whose name means Chaos will cause her life to be turned upside down and she can't deal with that. Once grace lets herself go she realizes how much she would have missed if she passed him up.

The story is fun, heartwarming and has some moments that tug at your heartstrings. I loved the characters and I really wanted them to be together as well as Grace's Brother who you hoped things would work out for him as well.

I really enjoyed this story, it is PG and has no adult situations but it is a great read and really quick. When I started I read it so fast and was so engrossed I read it in about 2 days probably less if I didn't have to go to sleep :)

I recommend this to anyone looking for a really great read. It is also excellent for young adults.
