About this listen
She has never told anyone that she secretly longs for someone to come home to at night. A man who would be there for her when she feels sad, and when she needs someone to wrap their arms around her.
Katy Monroe is a 25-year-old defense lawyer from a small town in lower New York, who graduated at the top of her class from Stanton Law school in record time. She takes her job very seriously, and usually works so many hours that she barely sees her apartment more than three times a week. Unfortunately, she gives her heart to a man who could never possibly love her and ends up messing up everything horribly. Of course, that is precisely when she runs into someone from her past.
Jake Hollister is a man who Katy thought she could never be in the same room with, let alone be her roommate and saving grace. But of course, desperate times lead to desperate measures, as she finds in this romantic comedy of a man who always knows best, and a woman that should have known better.
If you love sweet tales that give you the feels with comedy thrown in for sheer fun, then this is for you.

Story
It was just a typical Monday. Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client. After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. Or so I thought, until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch to. My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance. And that was the good part of my day. Because the gorgeous man who crouched down and looked at me like he wanted to eat me alive was none other than my ex.

It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old". Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true.

I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York. The food, champagne, and service were impeccable. The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better. He was suave and intelligent. We talked and laughed, and something clicked. Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night. With no plans, we made our own.

They say that all men are created equal. Well, that’s a blatant lie! I know, because I met God's gift to women in Vegas; I pretended he was my husband to get rid of another man. He took our fake marriage seriously, and it became his personal goal to consummate. He spoke to me in French, and I lied to him in German. His laughter was addictive. But I thought what happens in Vegas would stay in Vegas. Until it didn't.

The first time I laid eyes on Henley James, I was mesmerized. The chemistry between us was like nothing I’d ever felt. Impeccable suit, dimpled smile. He was charming and gorgeous, sophisticated and suave. He gave me his business card and asked me to call. His dating game was strong; I was gone from his first smile. I’d love to tell you our date was a raging success, but it wasn’t. Far from it. I decided right there on that day that Henley James and I would forever be mortal enemies; I would never think of him again.

I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I'm figuring out which I want more: to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

Still, no sisterhood can stop Matise's heart from wanting the thing she desires most - Jordan.

Sweet Rom-Com
Katy has a bigger heart than I do. Because I don't think I ever could fall in love with my high school bully. Lol! But I'm not the type to offer forgiveness. This was a sweet romcom. I wish it would've been longer because I would like to see more of where the relationship went and how it actually developed. Will definitely look for more books by this author.

Second Chances
It Had to Be You a brilliant romantic comedy that has to do with forgiveness and second chances at happiness. Katy has had to deal with a lot in just a few short days, finding out her boyfriend is cheating on her, an accident, and running into her old high school bully. I forgot to mention he is rich and hot. Her life is in a complete spiral, and Jake Hollister arrival only adds to the turmoil. He says he's changed and wants to make amends, but should she trust him or run away? I won't give away any juicy spoilers, but I will definitely say this always follow your heart, but keep your eyes wide open. I absolutely loved this story because somewhere down the line, we all have been there and needed to make tough choices. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.

Nice story!
This is a cute enemy to lovers short read that presents the story of two people who were enemies in high school, but discover that they are anything but holding a grudge. Katy Monroe has never gotten over being taunted by Jake Hollister in high school and when they run into each other again, that same hostility is still there. Jake is mega-rich and has obviously done well for himself. He is totally clueless about hurting Katy's feelings and, once she gets him to understand, he changes into an honorable man. When he sideswipes her as she runs a red light, Katy immediately remembers him and recognizes a sad look in his eyes. Jake does make a grand gesture to show Katy how much he cares. At the same time, he blindsides her with a request to marry him in order to retain his position as CEO of the company. He treats it as "business is business" and it's totally out of character. All this time, Katy's thoughts have been on a pendulum, one minute hating Jake and the next minute wishing that what they had was real. In a way, it was if she had a personality transplant because things she said and did were so far out of character. Jake does get his wish and, suddenly it's clear how Katy really feels about her. The narration by Nichole Peterson is excellent. With a clear, well-modulated voice and perfect pace, she brings each of the characters to life.

Sweet, quick read
Imagine running into your high school bully, then imagine falling in love with them but with a condition. This was a sweet read. I actually wish it was longer so I could have more detail especially in regards to the long term relationship these two would have had. This was the perfect length for a quick afternoon distraction. Katy is a very likable character. I didn't think I would end up liking Jake but the way he treated Katy made you open up your heart to him. Fun read, looking forward to reading more by MD.

A light romantic book between a struggling young woman and a man from her past. The book is good but has a few parts of the storyline that get dropped before the end with no resolution. The reader is let to guess on how these were resolved. Overall a good read.
