I really enjoyed this book! I had started to read it several times, and was distracted by other books. When I finally sat down and read it, I couldn't put it down. I had all ready read A Match made on Madison. This book isn't necessarily a sequel, but it involves some of the same characters. It really is a fun book. I throughly enjoyed it!

Andrea Sevala's boyfriend, Dillion, who she's been seeing for years,
announces that he's been seeing someone else while at a party for one of
their friends. Not only has he been seeing someone else, but that someone
is Diana Merrick, Andrea's worst enemy. Diana is the girl who stands for
everything Andrea hates about the Upper East Side and the ultra rich.
Though Andrea's family is one of those rich society families, she still
doesn't care for the way most of them live - only socializing with those
who are in the same social class and shunning everyone else. The shock
Dillion's deception is too much, so Andrea leaves the party, not wanting
to be subjected to questions from her family or friends, and finds herself
on the streets of Manhattan looking for cab when none are in sight. She's
had a few drinks at the party and is still in her high heels, but she
decides to walk home, which is not a good move. Before she knows what
happened, Andrea finds herself in a cellar, covered in blood and smushed
vegetables. In walks a handsome stranger, who helps her out and gives her
his Armani jacket despite the fact that she is an utter mess. Her handsome
stranger takes her to the hospital after she passes out and when she
awakes, he's gone and all that remains are her memories of him. Andrea's
matchmaking aunt Althea helps her get back on her feet and before long she
is out and about again. As luck, or fate, would have it Andrea bumps into
the handsome stranger again, while walking her dog, bently, in the park
and the two begin a whirlwind romance with a lot of drama - due to the
fact that Andrea has a tendency to jump to conclusions. Her new beau just
happens to be the creme de la creme of Mahattan society. His family is old
money with a capitol "O" and true blue bloods. With a lot of drama at
work, where Andrea hosts a popular cooking show, and much more drama in
her personal life, this book flows perfectly. Although sometimes
predictable, it is no doubt an ejoyable read that will leave you wanting
more.
