Sarah Winston's mother is always trying to set her up with a man, so when she does it at the new discount landscaping store, Sarah says she isn't interested in a dirty, sweaty gardener. Embarrassingly, the man hears her. She ends up dating him to prove she doesn't really think like that. Rick turns out to be everything she's looking for in a man, but things fall apart when she finds out he's conspired with her mother and lied.This was a quick, interesting book, but, since it is a Christian romance, and Rick is a strong Christian, I couldn't understand why he thought it was okay to lie. Everyone makes mistakes, but he only seems remorseful that he got caught and hurt Sarah in the process. Never does he admit he sinned and ask forgiveness of God. The ending lines are also too syrupy or hokey and a bit awkward. Still, I enjoyed the story and thought it was rather well-written. I would recommend it.
