This is a contemporary romantic comedy in full order. The plot is very straightforward; it is meant to be a light, fun read and that is exactly what you get out of this book.Jack is an ex-cop who inherits a gothic-type house in southern England. Davina is the tenant currently living there. She wants to be a famous actress, so she is filming a clandestine home-made movie with the help of a wacky teenage crew, her steadfast accountant best friend, and a loony cameraman co-worker who wants her body. She doesn't want Jack to know what she's doing because she's using equipment temporarily "borrowed" from the TV station where she works. Jack senses she's doing something illegal, so he sets siege in the property's garden to investigate, giving her a two-week deadline until he can legally inspect the inside of the house. From testing her home-baked brownies for drugs to planting a listening device in her kitchen, Jack is all set to trap her. Davina is all set to lead him astray - while ensnaring him to act in a movie scene without his knowledge and acknowledging their mutual physical attraction.The story is told from both their POVs and their conversations are full of wit, misunderstandings and silly humour. I absolutely loved both of them because you can clearly see they belong together. From their first meeting, the chemistry between them blazes and rages and it's mayhem and laughs. This is the kind of story where you just sit back, relax, and let yourself be entertained, a laugh-out-loud light romance with no obscure plots or intricate scenarios. We get great secondary characters and a wonderful HEA. This was my first book by this author and I look forward to reading her other stories. Complimentary copy received by author for review.
