Sometimes things really do take on a life of their own.She hopes you enjoy her musings as much as she enjoyed writing them, If they make you laugh, sigh, or even cry, she would love hearing about it.

I really liked this story. The only thing that was hard for me was the fact that Daniel decided to use Taylor to make Becky jealous, even to the point of sleeping with her. Not fair to any of them. Other than that, it was an excellent story with a twist ending of Ed & Veronica!

Smooth pace and memorable cast.
What really stood out to me for the Bottom Line was the natural flow of the story. Some books have a lull mid-book. Messmer keeps the flow going from start to finish. What really sold me on the book was the supporting cast, notably Ed. There's also a fun twist at the end.

This is a great read
I did it backwards, I read book 2 first and enjoyed it so I found this book. I enjoyed this book very much. Becky and Daniel are great characters, well written and personable. Very easy to relate with. I enjoyed my Sunday morning curled into the chair with my coffee and this book!

The book is a good sweet romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry.

Fun Read
I looked at this story as Cinderella in reverse. Little rich girl comes out of her ivory tower to meet a an average guy and they fall in love. Daniel and Becky were fun characters to follow.
