Single mom Vivian has been burned by love once before, and her job as a divorce lawyer has presented enough evidence to convince her there are no good men left in New York City.

The worst offender is her new neighbor: Dr. Lucas Keller, a couple’s therapist whose piercing blue eyes and flawless dark hair are just as annoying as his bad temper.

But when Luke starts poaching Vivian’s clients by saving their marriages, she makes it her mission to force him out of the building to save her practice. But it’s Luke who gives her the perfect opportunity when he proposes an unexpected bet.

With their offices at stake, Vivian and Luke play the field of love in a fierce battle of wits that quickly turns hot and personal, especially when Vivian’s daughter gets involved. Now, taking down Luke has become more than business for Vivian. It’s become a pleasure—and soon, Vivian and Luke will realize how pointless it is to fight the laws of attraction.


Really cute story. A bit too run-of-the-mill to deserve 5 stars, but I enjoyed it a lot, and found myself listening to it at every chance I got.

Of course, it's one of those stories where you can guess the outcome from the very first page, and that requires absolutely nothing of the reader - but sometimes, that's just the kind of fluff I'm in the mood for, and I did feel that this delivered quite nicely without being too trite. And for once the third act breakup made sense ... even if I did think Vivian should have been able to guess the explanation without it having to be spelled out.

I loved Teagan, and loved the growing relationship between her and Luke :-)

The end wrapped up things nicely, without being too rushed. There was certain plot point I felt lacked a proper resolution, but there is an exclusive epilogue on the author's web page, which covers that quite nicely :)
