Skeptical of finding love after being widowed at a young age, Julia pours herself into her business, By Design. A new romance throws her life into a detour. After an adorable meet cute in a grocery store, Julia finds Christophe Augustine. Handsome, wealthy and successful, Chris is the total package. Though his parents divorced, he still believes in love and thinks he might have found it when Julia appears in his life.
Chris wants to know her better, and Julia is not opposed to a little fun. Together, they face a series of events and must decide whether their relationship is worth pursuing.
This was a fun, cute read. Though it addressed some of life's tougher — if often super dramatic — moments, it was fast-paced and entertaining. I was never bored.
Julia was a likable main character and solid leading lady. Though I thought she dragged her heals in some places and over-thought her future, her back story gives a good explanation for this. It was also nice to see a character who has obviously struggled in the past working hard to make a better future.
The other characters, such as Julia's large Latin-American family, brought additional humor and rounded out the story.
