Juliet Nolan and her best friend Shelby volunteer to be seat fillers at a Hollywood awards show. The first seat she fills is right beside heartthrob Noah Douglas. When he makes a remark about her stealing seats, she pretends that she has no idea who he is. That's a lie. He was actually her high school crush. As Noah talks to her, Juliet mentions that she has a dog grooming business. The next thing she knows, he has hired her to take care of his dog, Magnus. Soon Noah is pursuing Juliet, but she keeps telling him that she just wants to be friends.Â
This is a cute contemporary romance. The hero and heroine strike sparks off of each other from the moment they meet. Juliet likes Noah and wants to be with him, but she is harboring a secret. She has a pathological fear of kissing. Of course, when she finally tells him her secret, he decides to help her with her problem.
I liked the first half of this story and found it amusing. I thought the second half was very slow and predictable. I thought Noah over-reacted when he learned that Juliet lied about not knowing him when they met. I thought the author could have found something more original to cause conflict in their relationship. My rating: 3 Stars.
