Idgie Says:This is a cute Rom Com type story. Ridiculously wealthy man sweeps scorned woman off her feet. But the woman has her own independence and bank account and doesn't get swept off for desire and need but for a change of pace in her life. Refreshing that he's not "saving her".
Fairly light-hearted and many amusing moments and quick dialogue. A fun book to disappear into for a while.
My only gripe - person in charge of cover didn't bother to really investigate the book - the dog is totally wrong. (Yes, these things bother me.) :)
