In the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Hope Burns, a woman discovers that the man she least expects is exactly what she needs…
High school math teacher Chelsea Gardner has the perfect plan. She’s tired of dating all the wrong men, and after years of frustration, she’s developed a foolproof list of requirements for finding “The One.”
Bar owner Sebastian “Bash” Palmer finds Chelsea beautiful, smart and fun, but he thinks her list is ridiculous and unnecessary. Intent on proving Chelsea is looking for love in all the wrong ways, he offers to help her find the “perfect” man.
Chelsea knows Bash isn’t the right guy for her—he barely meets one of her criteria—but there’s something about the charismatic man that has her yearning for things that are most definitely not list approved.
Because sometimes, a relationship that looks totally wrong on paper can turn out incredibly right…
There's just something about finding the "one", who's been right in front of you the whole time.
Chelsea was searching for Mr. Right, a man who fit her list of requirements. Yes, an actual list. She and Bash had always had an attraction to one another, but he, by no means, was the list-man, and after a failed marriage, he wasn't ready to give his heart to someone, who would not accept him as is.
This was the light and fun read I was looking for. Bash and Chelsea had the chemistry and banter down pat, and I really enjoyed watching her eyes open wider to see beyond her list and recognize Bash for the wonderful, big-hearted man he was. Oh, and Lulu, I really enjoyed the addition of a little dog for a rough around the edges guy.
