A Fine Romance was exactly what you'd expect in a romance novel, it was sweet and fluffy with a minimal amount of angst.Mira has been given the chance of a lifetime by her good friend Ivy. She's been asked to help open and run Ivy's new store, A Fine Romance. After a miserable last few years and a string of failed business endeavors she's thankful for any help she can get. She moves to Chicago and is supposed to be met at the airport by one of Ivy's friends, Sam. Mira is forced to maneuver her way through the El system and finally makes it to her new apartment a soaked mess. Sam appears, hardly remembering his obligation and ends up with cocktail thrown in his face.When Mira shows up to her first day on the job, she is forced to accept the fact that Sam is the neighbor next door who owns a favorite local bakery. The two are attracted to each other and once they finally get over their first impression feud, things move along quickly. There is one catch to the whole thing. Sam is a complete mamma's boy. Of course there is a reason behind his need to attend to his mother's every whim, but in pure Romance novel form his flaw is a bit overblown.All in all, if you're looking for a quick beach read, this one is a pretty good one.
