About the book:

On Rylee McDermott’s 30th birthday, she doesn’t have much to show for her life. Dumped by her sometimes boyfriend, she’s living back home with her mom and stepfather number three. But when she inherits her grandmother’s bridal shop, she is determined to make it work.

Darius Wirth, the host of TV’s business-rescue program, Wirth More, needs just the right fit for the show’s season one finale, one that will both wow their main sponsor enough to garner a second season and keep him from letting his father down again.
Rosie’s Bridals fits the criteria, and before long Darius and Rylee begin work on the episode. Sparks fly, despite the no-fraternizing clause in their contract. So it’s hands off.

But what’s a girl to do when all she wants is her hands on the guy? Can these two wounded hearts find both success and their way to love?  

My Review:

        The only complaint that I had with this book was that it got over too soon. Well, that is not exactly a negative thing. Everything has been put together nicely in the creation of a charming sweet little romance. It will tug at your heartstrings, will make you shed some happy tears and what is more, it has a perfect ending. I was curious how Darius and Rylee come around their respective hurdles and I was delighted at the way the author made it happen. I was in a state of zooming throughout. So could you blame my fragile heart for demanding more of the cute couple?

     Altogether a beautiful tale of love, parental care and acts of courage that you could finish in one sitting. Happy reading everyone!
