After a brush with death, or well, a car, Chloe decided that she needed to get a life. What she didn't expect was for her extremely attractive building superintendent to be on board with helping her tick the items off her list. And, she definitely didn't expect for him to worm his way into her heart.

I am a steadfast romance reader. I have read many, many, MANY romance books, and I have to say, I am welcoming Hibbert onto my list of must-read authors, because she delighted me to no end with this book, and I had so much fun tagging along as Chloe and Red attempted to check those items off her list.

I absolutely adored everything about Chloe. Her affection for sparkly pens, her nerdy nature, her wit, her love for Smudge -- all these things endeared her to me, which was why I was so happy that she was able to connect with someone, who cared enough about her to try and understand her needs.

Chloe declared that she had to "get a life", because she had watched so many of her so-called friends abandon her, as she dealt with her fibromyalgia. But, not Red. Red took the time to understand her signs and symptoms. He understood, when she was not physically up to something, and he was ok with the fact that some days would be better than others. That's friendship. That's love. And, I am a big fan of seeing more of the "invisible" illnesses getting some attention in books, because it's a good reminder to those out there, who are lucky enough to not have to deal with such health issues.

Let's talk about Red. He owned my heart from our very first interaction. When he pretended to like his elderly tenant's veggie casserole to protect her feelings, I knew he had a heart of gold. He kept showing this lovely side of himself as well, but he grappled with his unresolved hurt from a previous abusive relationship. When he shared some of the things that woman did to him, I wanted to hunt her down like the dog she was, and give her what for. Because, Red was wonderful, and he deserved better, and you know what? Chloe was better.

I found they formed quite a beautiful union, with each giving so much to the other. Oh, and they were also fire together. Yep. There was not denying the attraction they harbored for each other, and yeah, I think there were some flames jumping off that page.

I thought the best part about this book was Red and Chloe, but it may also be that this was book one in a series. I am beyond happy, that we will be getting more of the Brown family, because this book hit all the right notes for me, and I just want to sit in this world a little longer.
