Kate is tired of her friend Lisa setting her up with guys that are not worth the trouble, especially since she doesn't see the need to be dating anyone at the moment. She is focused on finishing her PhD and has a life plan that doesn't include putting her heart on the line so that it could be shattered to pieces like it had on her previous relationship. Her mistake? Telling her that she has a secret boyfriend and embellishing with a couple of details from her fantasy man.Henri is tired of meaningless relationship where the women are only interested in his money. He wants an honest woman who will love him for who he is and not how much money he can bring to the relationship. He asks his brother for help and finds himself in a crowded club where he stumbles upon Kate. Immediately, he recognizes that she is the woman for him and searches for her. His mistake? Asking Lisa for her help minutes after Kate informed her of her 'secret boyfriend'. Recognizing the perfect opportunity to set Kate up with the man of her dreams, Lisa arranges for them to meet.What comes next is a series of events that will have you laughing and some that will have you feeling bad for Kate and Henri. I was laughing at how the events played out on that first meeting, getting a little teary eyed when Kate and Henri stumble into their first hurdle and grinning like a fool as Kate and Henri finally come together.Loretta Hill delivered a sweet, funny novella with interesting characters, a little angst and a lot of romance.I received this title from Random House Australia through NetGalley in exchange of my honest opinion.
