Jenny Hartmann wrote bestseller ‘What Have I Done For Me Lately’, encouraging women to be themselves. Hurt before, Jenny vows not to let any man ruin her life again. Jenny sees Ryan’s picture in the newspaper and remembers him as the town bad boy, whereas she was the sweet demure girl. She vows never to be that girl again.

Ryan Masterson works for an investment firm. He thinks his neighbor Christine Bayer is the perfect girl to marry. Christine grew up in a family that lived paycheck to paycheck, and knows Ryan offers a better life. Building supervisor Fred has feelings for Christine too, though. Will he convince her to pursue their relationship despite her hopes for Ryan?

Jenny spots Ryan dining with Christine and sends a drink to his table. The tension builds. Ryan cannot believe this Jenny, who looks like a sexpot and is very sure of herself, is the same sweet, shy Jenny he grew up with. Jenny cannot believe that the town bad boy has reformed. Though deeply attracted to one another, Ryan does not know if Jenny will fit into his new lifestyle. When Jenny accompanies him on a business dinner, Ryan is furious with her actions and wonders if she could ever live his dream of a house, kids, and white picket fence. Jenny wonders if Ryan can be the exciting bad boy he used to be. Will they learn that relationships take compromise on both sides? Will Ryan choose Christine or Jenny?

Ms. Sharpe has written a story that will have you laughing out loud at some of Jenny’s antics. There is also tenderness, emotion, and hot scorching sex between Ryan and Jenny. The developing relationship between Christine and Fred totally enhanced the story. Both relationships make this book a wonderful read.
