Jessie Mann is a waitress and single mother who has been betrayed badly by the men in her life. While her mother bounces from relationship to relationship, Jessie is determined to be more circumspect; she doesnt want to end up like her. She is done with losers and dreamers that end up leaving her and has it in her mind that the next man in her life will have money. She wants the best for her and her son.
Billionaire hotel owner Jack Morrison is sick of the women in his life who see his money and status first, he isnt sure anyone is really seeing the real him. When he happens into Jessies restaurant late one night he is immediately smitten with the sassy waitress. But when she makes a comment about his wallet, he hatches a plan to be a normal guy and woo her with his personality not his funds. He plays poor and befriends Jessie under the guise of finding her a rich man. Although their chemistry is combustive and their friendship flawless, Jessie denies her growing feelings for her friend Jack with all that she has.
I flew through this book in a day. I had a horrible time setting it down; I just wanted to read more. I loved Jack and his good heart. Hes sexy, charming and everything a girl could want. I loved the way he was with Jessie and her son, Danny. He was romantic and sweet and proved himself loyal time and time again.
I admit I got a little annoyed with Jessie and the way she kept overlooking the perfect man in front of her because she thought he was a poor dreamer. The only thing that kept me from busting a blood vessel in frustration was the fact that her sister popped up to voice my thoughts, repeatedly. It was like I had my own character in the book speaking on my behalf.
I would have like a few more pages to this book as the ending felt a little rushed and tidied up too quickly for me. Other than that this was a perfect read for my cold and cozy afternoon and I have already marked the release date of the next book in the series, Not Quite Mine, on my upcoming book list. I cant wait to read more.
