Cassandra has no luck when it comes to dating. Even though she doesn't have really high expectations, life doesn't seem to be on her side as she ends up with creeps and morons. After a really bad date, she resigns herself to staying at home with a cup of wine and decent movies. All of a sudden, as she is minding her own business in very slow moving traffic, a body crashes onto her windshield causing her a lot of damage as she is hurled into the ER. She is later informed that the body belonged to Eric Saville, who just happened to be Bennett Saville's - the famous actor - brother. Bennett feels guilty over what his brother did to this woman, especially since he nearly killed her. So he monitors her healing progress and decides to spend some time with her and enjoys her company immensely. Cassandra on the other hand is uncomfortable with the whole thing, especially since he's years younger than her, which causes havoc with her life.I quite enjoyed this book.The obvious humor in the writing and with Cassandra especially made me laugh a couple of times. Even though she's old, she is still a good looking, smart and funny lady. So for me, I don't get. Why she'd always end up with weirdos, I really liked her character. I also liked Bennett and for some reason the family drama hooked me from the start. I was looking forward to how it would unfold. Although the first part gave the impression that it was Ian she was going to be falling for, but somewhere along the way it turned to Bennett.I liked how it went in first person with both her and Bennett, and well with Ian at first too. It showed the contrast between the characters, since Bennett is so serious with his family, work and friends. But Cassandra was lonely but pretty much hilarious on her take of things. Even the traffic jam, she'd made a light spin on it and liked it a lot.The writing itself was clever, simple and quick to read. It was also enjoyable and gripping so you'd find yourself hooked from the very start. Great read!Rating: 3.5/5
