Set in Manhattan, this tells a standard romance story. What I liked was that the girl is a geotechnical engineer. She believes she should be able to get ahead without returning her sneaky boss's advances. A double date set up by a friend at work happens to include the boss, and she's pleased to be rescued by a financier she used to know when they were kids. Josh is glad to meet Caroline again but as he's an Ivy League guy she thinks she's out of his league. However he's a lot less snobby than she expected.There is a lot of background about their respective families which appears to have come from a previous book, but I had not read that and could not really get into it.Josh develops real estate and Caroline is able to advise him on a survey, which was carried out by a male engineer at her firm after she ignored the boss's advances once too often. She believes ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic pulses should be used to see if there is anything under this site, potentially requiring cleanups or blocking planning, but that hasn't been done. Is there a conflict of interest?  The romance is nice though.
