Mia is dogsitting for 2 weeks. Her temporary neighbor, Luke, has been forced into a two week vacation by his coworkers. Coincidence? Both Mia and Luke fall in lust with each other on their first encounter. Things progress to what is supposed to be a two week fling.Mia and Luke are two people at a crossroads in their lives. Luke is a workaholic who needs to learn to slow down and enjoy life. Mia has just quit her job and is searching for a new direction. They are both as sweet as can be. Even in the limited venue of a novella, their genuine attraction and enjoyment of each other shines clearly.Although there are a couple of sexy parts, the majority of the story is Mia and Luke getting to know each other, and dealing with losing each other at the end of their self imposed two week time limit.Of course, a short story has its own inherent drawbacks. Fleshing out the story, providing more background on the characters, etc. is impossible due to space limitations. That said, I thought Ms. Cummings did an excellent job within the framework. I really liked Mia and Luke. And the puppy.With Bootsie, aka Hellboy, the puppy, Mia and Luke, this short story will leave you with a smile on your face. Very cute!
