About the book:

Enlarge cover

If life is like a box of chocolates, Cat Butler has tasted them all—and decided on none. It's no wonder she can't keep a job, even though her mother's health depends on it. Just when she finds herself up a creek without a paddle—again—a benevolent friend throws her a lifeline. In the form of a job at, of all places, a phone sex hotline. Not exactly what she had in mind, but if it pays the bills for her mom's expensive nursing home, what's the harm?

Successful entrepreneur Flynn McGrady knows a thing or two about responsibility. So when his mother has a stroke, he knows the right thing to do is relocate to Atlanta to be near her while she recovers. He's got a plan for everything—except for feisty Cat, who finally gets his mama to talk again. Talk dirty, that is, and he's not pleased. Cat is gorgeous and sassy to boot…too bad she's not the type to settle down.

Cat and Flynn may have bigger fish to fry, but the sparks between them are hotter than hell. And when they finally give in to temptation, the results are explosive. Can a girl who follows her heart and a guy who follows his head find their way to forever?

I am completely hooked! I cannot wait to read the upcoming Plum Orchard series! Dakota Cassidy is one of my favourite authors, her laugh out loud humor and lovable characters always guarantee an enjoyable read and this short story was no exception. I loved the emotional rollercoaster ride this story took me on. I became immediately entrenched in Cat's life and wanted so much for things to work out for her. Her radiant personality could barely be contained on the pages yet she wasn't unrealistic or clichéd. Flynn immediately caught my attention and I loved watching him dealing with his changing emotions. I don't want to give anything away but I truly feel in love with Cat's generous friend and feel as if he has a permanent spot in my heart. I cannot wait to read about what happens with these wonderful characters as they settle in a new town and no doubt take it by storm.
