In the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Hope Burns, a woman discovers that the man she least expects is exactly what she needs… High school math teacher Chelsea Gardner has the perfect plan. She’s tired of dating all the wrong men, and after years of frustration, she’s developed a foolproof list of requirements for finding “The One.” Bar owner Sebastian “Bash” Palmer finds Chelsea beautiful, smart and fun, but he thinks her list is ridiculous and unnecessary. Intent on proving Chelsea is looking for love in all the wrong ways, he offers to help her find the “perfect” man. Chelsea knows Bash isn’t the right guy for her—he barely meets one of her criteria—but there’s something about the charismatic man that has her yearning for things that are most definitely not list approved. Because sometimes, a relationship that looks totally wrong on paper can turn out incredibly right…

I’ve been long awaiting the story of Chelsea and Bash. These two have kept me smiling throughout the other books in this series and it is finally their turn!
Surprisingly, I was pretty annoyed by Chelsea in the beginning. The whole “perfect man” thing I get to a certain extent, but it seemed like she looked down her nose at any and all that didn’t fit into her parameters. Of course, Bash is so awesome he doesn’t let that bother him at all.
Bash kind of confused me in the beginning since he often noted he was NOT looking for a long-term relationship and never wanted marriage again. Although he was “helping” Chelsea on her hunt for the perfect man, it was obvious he wanted her for himself. It’s even his suggestion that they try out dating. I quickly forgot about my concerns in that matter because I got swept up into the Bash/Chelsea fun. So the incident that spurs the conflict between our hero and heroine smacked me upside the head almost as much as it shocked Chelsea.
