- First Date: I loved how our first date began and right away I adored, quirky, activist and adventurer Jane "Clover" Lee. Sawyers Mom has decided he needs to be wed and has been driving him crazy with a parade of potential partners. Mrs. Carlye is a force and Sawyer's younger brother unbeknownst to him decides to help him out by running an ad for a personal buffer. The set up is hilarious and how Clover got the job had me grinning and settling in.
- Second Date: They say opposites attract. That is if they don't kill each other first and Clover may just kill Sawyer. In one moment she has gone from personal buffer to fake fiance and finds herself rooming with one deliciously hot workaholic. If you are looking for a humorous, light, sexy romance you'll want to download THE NEGOTIATOR. I loved the contract, the build up of heat, the humor and HGTV moments. I love seeing Sawyer relax and loosen up his tie. Little side threads and secondary characters added depth while giving us a better understand of our couple.
- Third Date: While the storyline isn't full of surprises, the refreshing characters and playful moments as the romance moved into something more had me flipping the pages. The cliche' drama that unfolded annoyed me, but it did allow for growth of character in both Clover and Sawyer. Reveals as to characters actions particularly those of secondary characters delivered touching moments. The ending was adorkable and I enjoyed the epilogue immensely.
