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…
If you could build the perfect
man, what qualities would you want? Chelsea knows exactly what she doesn’t want
anymore, and unfortunately the one man who gets her motor running is everything
she doesn’t want in a man now that she has the perfect list.
The only problem…Sebastian “Bash”
Palmer is fun. He knows how to treat a lady right, he’s seriously crushing on
Chelsea. I like these two, they both don’t really want a permanent
relationship, and in fact Bash offers to help her find the right man.
I loved when they both decided
that a little fling while she waits to look for Mr. Perfect can’t hurt, and
neither of them see the trap they’re falling into. A trap of love, especially
when you throw in the image of a tough bar owner, cuddling a tiny Chihuahua, it
made me swoon just a bit.
I definitely enjoyed this one, I
got a bit annoyed at the contrived conflict near the end, but I also realize
that they needed some conflict so they could both get over the unrealistic
expectations of what a relationship should be.
Overall, the author does a good
job with these two, and it was nice to catch up with past characters. I will
definitely look for more fun and quirky contemporaries from her.
