3.5-4 starsThis was a pretty good story. It is one of the few non-paranormal books by Molly Harper and was an enjoyable read.Sadie works for the tourism department for Kentucky. She is supposed to be a shoo in for the director job but finds herself unexpectedly competing against a slick city guy with an advertising background for the the job. He puts down her ads and makes life difficult and Sadie isn't one to take that sitting down. It turns in to the war of the roses as the competition escalates but all the while there is an unspoken attraction that neither can ignore.Josh comes across as a real jerk at first and it's hard to figure out what he's up to or what to expect. He ends up not being too bad of a guy though and eventually he and Sadie call a truce. Once the truce is called they have an even harder time avoiding the attraction between them and agree to hold off on anything between them until the competition for the job is over. It's a good idea but things come up that cause things to go off kilter and it's not easy to get things back on track.The story was good and I enjoyed it. I liked the characters in the story as well. It has a good ending but, in all honesty, I was left wishing for a bit more. More of Sadie and Josh when their relationship is going well between them and them growing together. Overall I did thing the story was pretty good and I enjoyed it.*note - I listened to the audiobook version of this. Amanda did a fine job in the narration but there were a couple times when editing had two sentences overlapping. Nothing major though and it only happened twice.
