Campbell Andrews doesn’t have time for a blind date. Her steel-willed grandmother who set her up should know Cam only has time for furthering her career in the family law firm that she is set to take over one day. She displays her abrasive and impatient workaholic nature in full force when she arrives at the restaurant with Ben, a pediatric surgeon who seems great for a one-night romp but nothing more. After their meddling waitress gives them their check with a cloying note to be present and accept love, Cam takes a cab home to shake off the horrid date. Then she inexplicably wakes up the next day in a perfectly quaint town straight out of a Hallmark movie, with Ben as her next-door neighbor—and the same waitress telling her she can’t go back to her old life until she finds true love.
VERDICT Ballard (Right on Cue) weaves a fanciful, slow-burn grumpy/sunshine tale, ideal for readers who enjoy escapist romance.
