The characters shine in this cute, funny romance.Sabrina Cassidy's anticipated happy-ever-after ending screeches to an abrupt halt following her ex-fiance's decision to stop and think about their relationship. Sabrina is left berefit and doesn't think her life could get any worse. Then... another whammy hits her when Sabrina discovers that she has to work closely with the boss' son who is NOT her favorite person since he garnered a promotion that should have been hers. When her new manager proposes an arrangement that could work out to be beneficial to both of them, she decides to play along after seeing her ex with a beautiful red-head as Sabrina will do anything if it wins her ex back.Jack Brenner is one of the town’s most eligible bachelors. Jack is quite the ladies' man but he makes very sure that his heart is never involved. Now Jack wants the position of National Sales Manager and his father and the Board will only give it to him if he's ready to settle down. Hence... he proposes a fake engagement with Sabrina as a win-win for both of them and he can be very persuasive.Sabrina was smart in many ways, but also an alternately feisty and clingy character. I wanted to yell at her to open her eyes to how fake her ex was. Jack came across as chauvinistic at first, but he quickly matured into a yummy romantic character and I was definitely pulling for him. The bantering between the characters was often laugh-out-loud funny. The physic element was hilarious and I'm a believer in physics! The writing was polished and the story kept me entertained from beginning to end.I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys light and playful contemporary romances. This was the 1st book I've ever read by Jennifer Shirk and it won't be the last!Very good!4 Stars!
