Darcy Butler is a successful best-selling romance novelist and despite a string of blind dates has not found Mr.Right – largely because after her betrayal by fiancé Doug, she’s comparing the guys to her latest fictional hero, Doctor Blake Garrett. Best friends Josh and Laura (their mutual hate-banter is highly amusing!) are there to help Darcy get through life  – Josh takes on the role of baseball buddy and shoulder to cry on (neither being his preferred role – but he feels a friendship with Darcy is better than not having her in his life at all) and Laura guides her through her dating disasters and fashion decisions. When Laura breaks her finger having tripped over the curb while flipping off a cab driver who wouldn’t stop and ends up in hospital, Darcy meets her doctor – Blake Garrett – and her fictional hero is brought to life! Slowly Darcy learns that supposed perfection is actually not everything she thinks it will be and awareness dawns of what’s been staring her in the face all long.I thoroughly enjoyed Rebecca Heflin’s novel – the characters she creates are fun to be with and their world interesting. The dialogue is sharp and snappy and had me laughing out loud at times. It’s one of those novels that when you finish it you feel a tinge of sadness that you have to return to reality! I’ll definitely be reading more by this author.
