From New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Catherine Bybee comes the first novel in the delicious Not Quite series.
Waitress and single mom Jessica “Jessie” Mann is practical to a fault. Even if she had time to date, which she doesn’t, she’d be determined to provide her son with a more secure upbringing than the one she had—and that would mean a husband with big bucks. When Jack Morrison—a sexy-as-sin, seemingly broke customer with a cowboy hat and a seductive grin—tries to flirt with her, she shoots him down. She doubts a carefree dreamer like Jack can provide the financial stability she needs. Yet with Christmas just weeks away, and Jessie not wanting to spend it alone, the charming Texan is proving hard to resist.
As the heir to the Morrison luxury hotel empire, Jack is used to being fawned over. But Jack needs someone who will fall in love with him—not his wealth. He’s set his sights on Jessie, though her hardened heart just might get in the way…To be sure, he conceals his true identity and offers to help Jessie find the rich husband she seeks. But Jack’s daring charade may rob him of the holiday wish he wants most of all…
Jessie is a single mom, who no longer believes in love and looking for stability and financial security. Jack is a million cowboy, who has spent his whole life trying to sort through the people who are interested in him and those who are interested in his money. When Jack sees Jessie, he sees someone who is real and authentic and he wants to win her heart WITHOUT the help of his money.
The story was very sweet and adorable. I instantly fell in love with Jack and had waaaaay too many warm and fuzzy moments. The story was well paced and I found the dialog fun, interesting, and swoon-worthy when it was called for.
