Lisa is running her own company and basically running herself into the ground. While helping her sister celebrate her upcoming marriage, she ends up at a club wishing she was back at work. There she meets Jeff, who has come with his friends to celebrate their graduation from the fire academy.
Both of these people have issues. Lisa apparently only attracts the wrong kind of man, and Jeff is so shy that he literally hides from Lisa when he sees her. I'd like to report more on the story, but not much had happened in the 35% that I read. They wanted to see each other, but both of them were too nervous to do anything about it.
I had to quit at 35%. The characters were on my nerves. I felt like I was reading a teenage drama romance rather than one written about adults. Labeling people in the club as "elbow guy" and "pullover guy" should have been a hint to me that this book wasn't really going to be for me. I think what really pushed me over the edge were the times when Jeff would hide from her. I guess burning buildings aren't as scary as women.
This book just wasn't for me. I wasn't a fan of the writing and I really was annoyed with the characters. Maybe it got better later on, but I wasn't willing to invest any more time on it.
