Gracie Snow is a completely innocent, stubborn, but curious 30 year old seeking adventure. Luckily her new job working for a Hollywood studio should provide all the excitement she hopes for. Her first assignment is to collect Bobby Tom Denton, a former American football player, and bring him to the film set so they can start filming his first film. Simple? Not really, but Gracie risks life, limb and her heart to get him there. 

I love this book, it always comes to mind when I need something sweet and funny to relax with. It is particularly effective when used in tangent with a glass of wine and a bubble bath! The charming characters, romance and humour never let me down. 

What always has me coming back for more is the main characters; Gracie Snow and Bobby Tom Denton. You could feel Bobby Tom’s charisma and personality pouring out of the book and reeling you in, not that he was perfect, he has an ego a mile wide, but you love him anyways. And Gracie was so funny and sweet; I couldn’t help but like her. Some of the situations that Gracie finds herself in are hilarious, I couldn’t wait to see what she would do next.

Together Gracie and Bobby Tom make a great couple, the chemistry between them is sizzling and watching their battle of wits is both funny and endearing. This book also has secondary romance between an older couple, which was a nice addition, it didn’t get lots of page time but it was still an enjoyable part of the book. 

If you haven’t tried this book, I highly recommend you pick it up, it is perfect for either snuggling up to in the winter and tanning with in the summer!
