This was a very enjoyable novel. Michele Lenard has crafted a quick paced, accessible and entertaining contemporary romance. Lenard's writing style has a gentle ease the engages the reader and keeps them interested in the hero and heroine's romance. I found this to be a sweet and gentle love story, it was nicely steamy and low on the angst, which is very comforting to read when you are looking for a fun and fast paced romance that feels like a nice warm hug.

This novel is about Lisa, an aspiring children's author and closet romance author, and Chris, a millionaire investor. These two meet at Chris' twin brother's company, Lisa has been working as a contract writer in creating educational materials for this upstart company, and Chris is the angel investor who is silent and acting as the facilities manager for the building the company is working out of. There are lots of alluring moments between these two as they flirt and get to know each other. Chris is absolutely charmed by Lisa from the start, and it is so delightful to see him fall for her, because he is able to see past her physical beauty to the inner strength and genius. I really enjoyed that there was a build up of friendship and getting to know each other before they went on their first date. I also loved that through their dating they were able to really show each other that they understood the other in a deeper way.

There is some conflict and discussion around Lisa's career as a romance author and the stigmatism that surrounds it. I did find this a bit frustrating (because as a romance reader I find these thoughts to be very close minded) but I believe Lenard has put this in to explore these discussions. I also think that Lisa needed to have some of these thoughts so she could better discover the truth and pride she should have in her career. I also found the way Lenard redeems the hero around these conflicts to be extremely satisfying and swoon worthy. Overall, this was a very sweet romance, with lots of steamy times that I felt were well balanced through out the novel. I enjoyed getting glimpses of side characters and Lenard did this nicely in order to build some interest towards them and what their HEA journey might hold.

I would recommend this if you are looking for a fast paced romance, that feels very comforting and leaves you with a smile on your face. I am looking forward to continuing on in this series.
