this is a good book if you want to kill a few hours with a fun romance.
The characters were all working class folks who actually had to work for a living and not the usual executive or millionaire in most series romances.
This is a great book for anyone wanting a lighthearted romance.

I've had this book sitting on my shelf for a while and never thought I would read it. but one day I just needed something different so I picked it up. I was really surprised actually at how quickly I got into the story. It's an easy read and unlike all the other romances I have ever picked up, the people seemed like real everyday people, not sex gods.
I enjoyed this because it quick, a bit of a mystery, a nice amount of sexual tension, but not so much that it was overwhelming (cept the end got a bit mushy) and best of all it made me laugh. I don't read all that much, but it's been a long time since I laughed out loud at something in a book.
I would recommend this to those out there like myself. Want a quick romance that's not so overwhelming and has more to it then just that romance. Fun book.

Merges a mystery with contemporary romance. Set in Philadelphia, the basic story concerns two long-time friends, Markie and Zac, who come to be more than just friends. Their relationship is complicated by meddling mothers as well as their past history, including a ruined wedding day for Markie that she has partly blamed Zac for. Tone remains fairly light despite the mystery, which concerns the identity of a corpse found at the beginning of the story. A fun, easy read.
