Synopsis: As an interior designer and an identical twin, Cami Anderson wants her home to be unique, so she hires a master carpenter to help. She’s expecting an older man, someone kindly, experienced. In her wildest dreams, she hasn’t figured on Tanner McCall, who’s not old, not kind, but most definitely experienced…and seems more than a little interested in her blind date disasters!

Review: I was curious to start a new story written by Jill Shalvis. The synopsis seemed to offer something light and humorous and it is true that it is precisely what we have here!

Cami is a real disaster in her romantic relationships. Too nice, she often accepts to participate to blind dates although they never go well. But here, besides that, she has to manage the sexy craftsman who comes every day to help her retype her house. He will also help her to take responsibility!

I really had a great time in the first part of the story, but I must say that I am a little disappointed with the rest. I found that the exchanges between Tanner and Cami were very funny but everything takes a boost in the second part of the story and the storyline has lost all credibility for me. It gives the impression in a few days that love feelings are there, as is the marriage proposal. It’s often something that bothers me …

However, if you want something light and short, this novel is perfect!

    Blast from the past, I used to pick up those duets kind of books forever ago. Think I’ll have to do that again, it’s a great way to try different authors!

    Novellas usually don’t work for me, except Kristen Ashley’s, since hers usually longer than average novellas. Thanks for sharing. I get your issues but am glad you had a great time with it. Great review, my friend. ❤️

    When I am in the mood for something light and fluffy I will grab this one up.

    Hmm, sounds like it might have been a little too over the top.

    Oh no! I have read this one but I do love Shalvis. Sorry this one was a bit of a disappointment.

    I don’t think I’ve seen this book around. The cover looks completely new to me, but it could be because it is the international cover and not the US cover. I’ve still got to try this author.

  13. Carole Rae

    Hahaha what a fund cover

    Sounds like it could hit the spot now and again. I love her books but hadn’t seen this one!
