As a woman, have you ever been dumped by a guy you thought really cared about you?  It makes one very insecure, almost afraid to chance trying to find love for fear of losing again.  Amelia Radley, 26 years old, has been dating Malaysian Prince Simon for a year.  It really boosted her self worth as she envisioned herself as a real princess one day.  But, she gets dumped, and after one month separation, he becomes engaged as she learns from the newspaper.  She's very embarrassed and ashamed.  She knew she had not loved Simon, they did not have that deep bond, but it had been a comfortable relationship.  Now Amelia's best friend Tina wants to set her up with a guy from her long list of hot guys.  Reluctantly, Amelia agrees to meet a fellow that evening, Ryan Hunt, a dentist.  At the restaurant they both fumble asking questions, neither can dance, so they settle for a few drinks after dinner; she had already consumed three glasses of wine and her high heels were not too steady. Amelia's not sure she can be a one-night stand, but she was getting giggly and wants to feel Ryan's muscles.  After they arrive at his luxury apartment, when he approaches her wearing only a thong and carrying a paddle ... well, she had to get home to feed her cat...immediately!  All in all, Amelia is trying to live life but she tortures herself wanting to know 'why' Simon dropped her without offering an honest reason.  She and Tina frequent the local coffee shop almost daily where Peter always mixed the best lattes. He becomes a pretty close friend to both of them, even if he appears a few years younger. He's certainly too young for Amelia to have an interest. She's very bored at her job as an accountant and finally decides there's no opportunity for her to climb the ladder at this firm. She storm's to the CEO's office, and orally renders her resignation.  She's very forthcoming with him which intrigues him and rather than accept her verbal resignation, he takes her to lunch at the most famous restaurant in the city, the Blue Moon.  Who will it be?  She's had a prince, doctor, and now a big boss interested in her.  This is a very well written story which will grab you right from the start.  It amplifies true situations some women face when relationships fall apart. It's a tender story, with many emotional overtones, and certainly is very revealing.  It's fast-paced without lurid sex, but with tender emotions.  Highly recommend.
