About this listen

As a behavioral scientist, Professor Nicole Hathaway's work strips away the foolish mystique that surrounds the human mating dance. When her academic tome is treated as a viral "love manual", her ecstatic publisher books her to appear all over the US and Europe. Worse yet, her quiet, managed life has been shattered by a series of incompetent assistants. And she's certain this Lily Smith creature isn't going to be any less a burden than the last assistant they sent her. Or the one before that. Or before that....

Lillian Linden-Smith needs this job. With a relentless TV lawyer and public mob still out for her blood for crimes committed by her "American royalty" parents, getting out of the country is her only hope for anonymity. If that means cleaning up and presenting an antisocial know-it-all PhD for bookstores, clubs, and lectures, fine. Dr. Hathaway may have succeeded in driving away all the others, but not this time.

From their first meeting the sparks fly, and each is thinking: She has no idea who she's dealing with.

Abby Craden brings life into Karin Kallmaker’s words. A partial Northern hemisphere book tour brings these two supposedly opposite personalities into situations that evolve into love. Cole is a professor who has written an extremely successful book about DNA being an essential factor in finding true love. Lily is the daughter of disgraced Ponzi scheme parents who leave her with the fallout. Although this was written over ten years ago, with minor adjustments it’s message is still relevant today-media hounding the innocent, book tours that are relentless, life is preciously short, grab it with both hands.

I didnt expect to love this book as much as I did and I only wished more of the book was spent with the loved up couple. Well written. Some parts were really funny. Well narrated, Abby can do no wrong in my humble opinion.

This could have been pretty good but it ended up feeling like it was written as a script for a schmaltzy romantic road movie. It just didn’t work for me.
But of course, Abby Craden was excellent.

Unexpectedly corny
