Eve has always been surrounded by men. She had 3 brothers growing up and now she is the project manager for a large construction company, Sullivan Construction, and is now working on the Halifax City Hall redesign. She's a strong willed woman who doesn't take s*** from anyone. She keeps her self busy with her work and she prides herself on doing a good job. When it comes to relationships she doesn't bother, she still carries a lot of baggage from a failed passed relationship.Matt is a internationally renown architect, who is hired by the Mayor Bob Anderson, to design the new City Hall. Even though his talents stretch far beyond this little town, and his deigns are far more innovative than this historic town was ready for, He agrees to do the project because Uncle Bob had always been there for him and it was about time he returned the favor. And Uncle Bob wanted to bring Halifax into the 21st century even if the town wasn't ready for it and he believed that City Hall was the way to do it.Eve and Matt first meet in an unconventional yet hilarious way, and their relationship only grows unconventionally from there. After being through together for a Mayoral party things get a little heated and weird. The end of the night turns out uneventful until Eve gets home a discovers an unexpected intruder had entered her home, her ex-husband, not wanting to go in at night she decides to go do some work on a pro-bono project that she has. Working throughout the night she finds her way back home, while waiting to muster up the courage to go in, Matt jogs by ready to apologize for the previous night. She reluctantly invites Matt in for coffee and to go over her designs. While looking over the plans Eve happens to fall asleep and Matt figures out that she hadn't slept the night before and had an unwanted visitor. He convinces her to let him stay with her during the build to save money, and everything changes.This was a fun read, where I caught my self laughing out loud at many times during the story. I absolutely loved Eve character. She was cute, tough, smart and quirky. The way she handled her self while surrounded by males was a riot. But she was also passionate about what she does and who she is. Matt was also wonderfully written, he was a sweet heart and had a huge heart. The other character I loved was Uncle Bob, and his side agendas. He had a smaller role but made the book much better. All in all this book was a GREAT READ!!! There was comedy and romance, who wouldn't love that!!!
