Very good book. Mel had real issues trusting men, thanks to her father's desertion and her mother's bad luck with relationships. She saw Jace's playboy ways as just another example of the myth of the happy ending. Meanwhile, Jace was tired of the playboy life and wanted to change things. When they were assigned to work on a Valentine's Day article together, they took it to the next level and made a bet. Mel swore that there was no such thing as love, and Jace that there was. As they interviewed various couples together, Mel saw things she never knew existed. And the more time she spent with Jace, the more she got to know the real man. I loved the gift exchange at the end of the book.

Melanie has been attracted to Jace, the office playboy, since she started at her job at the newspaper. Her trust issues about men seep into her advice column and her job is threatened unless she works with Jace on a Valentines day story and he is going to review all her columns before print. Jace hasn't understood why he is so attracted to Melanie, she isn't his type but he can't get her out of his mind. Jace knows he is done being a playboy, but can he work with Melanie through her upbringing and the bad examples she has seen around her, and convince her that he is the man for her?
This was a lovely story and you really feel for Mel and Jace as they work through their feelings and the ending alone is worth the read!

2.5 stars rounds up to 3, I guess. I liked parts of this book, but the ongoing workplace harassment gave me the heebie jeebies. It didn't bother the heroine? Okay, fine. But that the hero sees nothing wrong with how he was acting? And we're supposed to root for this guy?

I mean, I know office romance is a thing. But. Man constantly asking out coworker or speaking suggestively to her, especially when she's asked him to stop...blech.

Love love love! So good the only thing that could have made it better would have been a less rushed ending.
