Rosalie Ronaldi doesn't have a domestic bone in her body. All she cares about is her career, so she survives on take-out and dirty martinis, keeps her shoes under the dining room table, her bras on the shower curtain rod, and her clothes on the couch .
Nick Romeo is every woman's fantasy - tall, dark, handsome, rich, really good in bed, AND he loves to cook and clean. He says he wants an independent woman, but when he meets Rosalie, all he wants to do is take care of her. Before too long, he's cleaned up her apartment, stocked her refrigerator, and adopted her dog ... So what's the problem? Just a little matter of mistaken identity, corporate theft, a hidden past in juvenile detention and one big nosy Italian family too close for comfort .
My thoughts:
To be fair, even though I would LOVE to have a man like Nick..well he was just a bit too, to freaking perfect. I mean he cleaned her place, he cooks, takes care of her. Gods, if I would not have to do that and read instead, sigh, happy times. Still...too perfect. I must have issues when I would love to have a man like that but at the same time not. But maybe it was more his macho I will take care of you ways. Clean, just do not be too bossy. Yes, that would work.
Oh, I should talk about the story too? But I was thinking of my dream man! Never mind.
Rosalie is a workaholic with a boyfriend she feels meh about.
Nick is one of NYs most eligible bachelors and loves them, and leaves them.
They meet, have fun, suddenly they are always together, but still refuses to believe either of them could fall in love, truly fall in love. Oh you idiots. Of course you will fall in love and live happily ever after.
Conclusion:
Cute and fun.

It sounds nice but I understand the thing about a too perfect man.
ReplyDeleteToo perfect might just be too good

At least you remembered that :)
DeleteHe does sound too perfect! Still I wouldn't kick him out of my house. :-)
ReplyDelete..neither would I ;)
DeleteI don't think this would work for me. I love my characters with at least some flaws.

ReplyDeletePlease feel free to come by and clean my house anytime, Nick. :)
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteOoooohhhh...I don't mind a perfect guy! LOL Sounds cute.

DeleteThere are no men like Nick. Period. But the cover is super cute, and even though the story line seems contrived, I'll give this one a go. Because cute isn't always bad. Great review!
ReplyDeleteCute is good, I do like cute :)
DeleteOne of the Bella Andre books was like that. Just too perfect. I still enjoyed it and can dream of having that though. lol
