Grace
Rogers is a 30-year-old decorator. Grace is an orphan who longs for a husband,
home and children. Meeting nearly 50-year-old David Young currently exiled from
Scotland Yard while he’s being investigated, Grace immediately falls for him
even though he’s not what she had in mind to fulfill her dreams. When she gets
involved in his current case and he hires her to decorate his townhouse the two
are thrown together more often than not. Can these two make a relationship
work? Or does age really make a difference.
This
story won’t be for everyone. It’s quirky and fun with some silliness that makes
it a light-hearted read. And it was quite an enjoyable read until near the end when Grace does
something so incredibly stupid that I could only sit back and stare. No longer
fun and quirky she morphed into Lucy Ricardo, too stupid to live. I loathe Lucy
Ricardo. Not only does Grace do this thing that is so moronic as to blow the
mind, but she isn’t even reprimanded. She’s patted on the head and told, yes it
was dangerous, but since she was so darn cute doing it it’ll be overlooked. No,
no it won’t. Not by me. Others may find what she did cute also, but for me it
ruined a book that was, up until that point, amusing. I lost all respect for
the characters after that and I’m disappointed.
