This was actually my first Susan Hatler book and I read it as part of the Lucky 7 boxed set. I read it in one sitting. I found it hilarious that Jill, who has her whole life planned out through goals, is being thrown off when she doesn't get the promotion she was expecting. So, when she is at a wedding and runs into another boss of a firm she has decided she is going to try and apply at, she tries to impress the owner by having a boyfriend. The boss thinks it is good to have a well rounded work life and personal life. She grabs the hot groomsman and asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend for 10 minutes. He really plays it off well calling her buttercup and getting all cozy with her on the dance floor. When Monday rolls around, it is no other than the "pretend boyfriend" from the wedding, Ryan, who has stolen her position. They are quiet the comical pair. He really tries to win her affection over and over again, but she just isn't sure she can get over the fact that he has her job! One she worked to get for 5 years of her life. Will she come around to him? You will have to read and see. One of my favorite parts is even when she is furious with him, he still calls her buttercup. I loved that. If you like short, sweet contemporary romances this is definitely a book for you to check out. You will really be rooting for Jill and Ryan right up until the very end ;-)
