Chris Nelson is grateful when a gorgeous hunk stops to help her when her car breaks down. But things go wrong when she accidentally breaks Ken Callahan's arm and has to take him to the hospital. Since he is from out of town and can't drive, he ends up staying at her house with her seven-year-old daughter and her elderly Aunt Edna. Ken like's Chris, her daughter, her aunt, and her house. He doesn't want to leave. Ken makes a deal that he will rent the downstairs portion of the house and give them access to his truck since Chris' car can't be fixed. It's a great deal for him since he also has unlimited access to Chris, a woman who fascinates him.

This was Janet Evanovich's first book, originally published under the pseudonym: Steffie Hall. It's a light romantic comedy with some cute moments, but the whole story was unrealistic. I did get sick of hearing how Chris can't take a chance on marrying again after the disaster of her last marriage. The narrator, C.J. Critt did a good job with this book. My rating: 3 Stars.
