Review:
I typically gravitate towards Regency romances instead of modern-time stories, but this one grabbed my attention pretty much right from the get-go. I was initially only going to read a chapter or two before bed, but finally had to force myself to put it down after it was well past my bedtime. It's probably a good thing stories like that don't come around all the time, otherwise I'd never get any sleep! This is one of those stories where you know how it's going to end from the beginning, but that doesn't matter, because it's so entertaining. I will admit though that Elle kind of drove me bonkers with her insistence of keeping to the plan. Maybe it's because I'm way older than she is, so I've lived long enough to realize that when we make plans, God laughs. :)
The editing got a little sloppy in the latter part of the story. Not too much, but it was a little bit distracting. Aside from that minor issue, I really enjoyed the story.
