Just prior to reading this book, I gorged on "The Hunger Games" trilogy. After all that tension, angst, and action, it was time to relax with a book I could ease into and simply enjoy. Yep, you guessed it. It was time for a shot of Shirk.As always, this author delivers the goods. Her romances always contain a touch of humor, smooth and sassy dialogue, and likeable characters in search of happy endings. Her latest book is no exception. Sabrina, orphaned at a young age and desperately pining for a family of her own, is on an unwanted hiatus from her engagement with David when the story opens. Convinced it's her fate to marry the suddenly unsure "Dr. Perfect," she enters into a mutually beneficial pretend relationship with her boss's son Jack to speed things along. She hopes jealousy will draw David back to the engagement, and playboy Jack hopes that by projecting a more stable and responsible image to the company's board of directors, he'll get the big work promotion he wants.So she thinks it's her fate to marry David. He thinks it's his fate to never marry. But, of course, fate has something else altogether in mind for both of them. You knew that, right? But it's all about the journey. And their journey toward a happy ending is both enjoyable for them... and for readers. Once again, Shirk satisfies with another feel-good story packed with sweetness and smiles. (Thanks! I needed that!)
