The Only Man for Maggie

Maggie Rawlings is perfectly happy with her apartment, and she isn't giving it up just because developer Karr Elliot wants to tear down the building, no matter how many fine‑print clauses he invokes. But what if some of Karr's clauses have more to do with Maggie than with Eagle's Landing?

"The Only Man for Maggie" is the story of Maggie and Karr.
A wicked tale of banter between our hero and heroine. She is a journalist, who returns home to realize that her very ancient building is being demolished and has a week to move. The hero is the developer of the upcoming project, and is more than happy to compensate the heroine and all other tenants. She tries her best to save her flat, but all her roadblocks fail because what the hero wants is in fact legal.
There's good chemistry between our main couple, no OP drama, a very naughty and fluffy dog to spice up their life and tiny dose of angst with good nostalgia.
I enjoyed that there was no negativity in this book- just stubbornness and a want for a permanent home.
Very good!

LM has so many landlord/real estate developer romances… I enjoy them the way I do You’ve Got Mail: with great guilt. 💀

I enjoyed the book even if the heroine was a mighty suspicious character who put nothing but road-blocks for the hero who had bought out the place she lived in. He tells her that he would offer alternative housing but she stubbornly refused to move and questioned his motives even when he did a lot of caring stuff for her, still I enjoyed the banter.

This story is a typical romance book that warms my heart. Maggie's little Yorkie Tripp is adorable as an extra in the romance of an independent self-made woman and an old fashioned man that lights her fire. You will not be disappointed readers. I guarantee.
I chose this rating because I was caught on the story from the start and enjoyed it all the way to the end.

A sweet romance of an independent woman falling in love with strong and independent man. Loved it.

One of the first of Leigh's books that I read. I liked the heroine's somewhat dry humor, and thought her life/love/career melded well. Fun read.
