Washington, DC, native Josie Parks is making the best of circumstances. When her client’s bachelorette photo shoot in New Orleans is canceled, Josie decides to tackle her own personal “30 things to do before 30” checklist. Next on her list is capturing the magic of the city and her first Mardi Gras parade with her trusty camera, nicknamed Ruby. A little overzealous at catching a gorgeous set of oversized beads, Josie smacks a handsome bystander on the side of the face. Spencer Pham, the handsome bystander, has recently returned to his hometown and is trying to get some documentary footage of the parade. He is instantly smitten with Josie and vows to show her the lesser known Vietnamese side of New Orleans. Soon romantic and creative sparks start to fly, and Josie and Spencer begin to wonder if it’s possible to fall in love when you only have one week together.
VERDICT In this delightfully steamy read, Lam (Happy Endings) creates characters with great chemistry and packs this romance with the history of Vietnamese culture in New Orleans.
