The blurb:
After the worst day ever (a near-death experience and a public wedgie, for starters), Ruth realizes she doesn’t want to live and die alone. She puts together a business plan to find the perfect man and dives head first into the murky online dating pool. All she wants is a high-powered executive who understands how important her career is. If only it were that easy.
Problem is most men are intimidated by Ruth’s confidence and shocked by her bluntness. The exception being her landscape designer, Nick, whose cool demeanor and unsolicited dating advice are driving her nuts. He’s the antithesis of the business-oriented man Ruth envisions for herself, so why do all signs keep pointing back to him?
Romcom
Humour
My thoughts:
Another very enjoyable, funny and entertaining read from Rich Amooi! I was hooked immediately and laughed out loud at the wedgie incident at the gym. Things like that do really do happen, especially when you're trying to look calm and in control.The story is about two forty-somethings - Ruth Harper, a high flying, workaholic partner in a corporate takeover firm, and Nick Morris, a divorced landscape gardener who had to reevaluate his life choices after a heart attack.
Ruth is the only female partner in the firm, and is being groomed for the role of managing partner. She lives to work and has set aside family and relationships to get where she is today. After a near miss with death, she decides life should hold more than just work, and determines to find her soulmate. In true Ruth-style, she writes a list of attributes for her soulmate, more akin to a job interview. Nonetheless, helped by her best friend and assistant Dee, she goes on a couple of hilarious dates in search of 'the one'.
Working on Ruth's garden and enjoying her annoyance at the men she is wasting her time on, is Nick. They both feel an attraction but Nick doesn't tick any of the boxes on Ruth's must-have list.
Nick decides to introduce her to some eligible bachelors in his own family but dreads Ruth taking a romantic interest in anyone other than himself. There are hurdles to jump and life lessons to learn before we see the pair finally united in this well written and comic tale.
The secondary characters are as interesting as the main characters. Judy, Ruth's octogenarian fellow passenger who we meet in the arrivals lounge, watching and waiting as her bag goes around and around on the carousel, is helped to make a life-changing decision to get involved with life again. Ruth arranges to meet Judy weekly, and by the end of the story, we find that Judy has developed a very active social calendar, and even a young man!
Dee is an amazing friend and diligent assistant to Ruth. With her eye firmly set on Nick's assistant, Brandon, Dee manages Ruth's work commitments and her dating schedule. Bagel Barney is a comical character, and one who sees himself as an irresistible catch.
Another entertaining read from Amooi, and one which will leave smile on your face!
