Rating 3.5 to 4Tony Tate is a romance author who seems not very in tune with women honestly.  Abigail is his editor, and in love with him for years.  The story opens with Tony breaking up with his 22yo girlfriend because he wants to settle down and marry her, and she wants no such thing really.  He is past his years where he feels he wants to just move from woman to woman, and chooses her of all people to want to settle with.  She breaks up with him, and in his embarrassment and anger, he takes out his feelings on Abby, his editor, who has cared for him all this time.  Thus, he uses her.  She lets him.  Yeah, I think Abby was a pretty sad person in the start of this book.  But finally we get to see another side of her, which is good, and wakes Tony up.  He then has to work to get for her.I think this is this author's first book.  It was well written but, given the content, it seemed a bit distant at times.  I didn't feel as much for the characters as I think would have been possible.  The basic story was nice, the characters fun and with faults, nice to see.  I felt more in the relationship with Abby and her brothers than between Tony and Abby at times.  It was clear the caring Abby had with her brothers, especially Connor.  I liked their banter.  As a first book though, this was awesome, and I will definitely be watching this author for more.I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley for an honest review.
