About this listen
Tessa Monroe has sacrificed a lot of become the new Assistant Vice President, including weekends, a social life, and learning how to cook. Her best friend, Christian Douglas, has been the main man in her life since paste was considered a snack, but he’s had different plans for his life than climbing the corporate ladder. With a playground proposal and one steamy college night in their past, Tessa is on the quest for her dream job while Christian searches for his dream girl.
After she watches her friend’s heart get broken once again, Tessa steps in to introduce him to a coworker who may just be Christian’s perfect match.
When things get serious between them, however, Tessa isn’t quite as elated as she expected to be. In fact, she’s been having some very weird—and distracting—feelings she can’t quite name. Combining friendship and romance can have messy results. Will Tessa and Christian find a way to rekindle that third grade romance, or has their window already closed?

Story
The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was.

Story
It started out like any normal day. Then the fender bender happened. The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth. Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway - one I was excited about. Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident.

Story
My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

My Thursday afternoon meeting was a no-show. Imagine my surprise when a drenched, flustered brunette slipped into the booth across from me, acting like she was supposed to be there. When she slipped back out with a snappy good-bye, I never thought I'd see her again. Until I walked into my Friday morning meeting. At first, I didn't recognize her - she was dry this time. But from the look on her face, she recognized me.

Great sense of humor!
Really enjoyed this adorable, funny rom com. Great characters. Messed up, clueless heroine. But the narrator Diane Berendes really brought the story to life. Her characters were so real I forgot she was reading. She really brought me into this story.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
