This debut author for Entangled Indulgence writes a clever and cute story with a unique plotline that sparkles. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more!The only person who’s ever loved Liam Manning, internet security guru-turned-billionaire, is his beloved brother, a romance author who died. Liam makes a death-bed promise to complete his book, but he needs to find a woman who can teach him about romance, about which he hasn’t got a clue. He’s a computer geek with commitment issues, and he’ll never take the plunge into a real relationship.Liam uses his skills to hack into an internet dating site and picks Lorelei Torres, a charity event planner badly burned by her last romance where the guy forgot to mention one critical detail—he was married.I loved Lorelei, who is an open and engaging person who knows exactly what she wants—a man to love, a family, a full life—and isn’t ashamed to admit it. Her relationship with her crazy but loving Hispanic mother who nags her into finding a man is a cute touch.Liam arranges to show up on Lorelei’s date instead of her real date. As he gets to know her, he tries to protect Lorelei—and himself—from falling in love but fails miserably.Of course the plan blows up when Lorelei discovers who he really is, but the way Liam wins her back is charming. And Lorelei is no pushover, but a tough and determined woman who is a great match for this powerful billionaire.The characters were well rounded and realistic. Liam has friends who would rather spend more time at his place than theirs, and Lorelei’s mother is always is constantly calling her (I loved her mom!). Liam’s attempts at making himself into a “regular guy” are charming, like when he agrees for Lorelei’s sake to use public transportation instead of his Aston Martin.Overall a sweet, touching story where both characters must learn to grow and trust to overcome the wounds of the past to achieve their happily ever after.
