Used to having a golden spoon, Cecily Scatterton finds herself without a penny, any food in her home for her or her cat, and the rent and car payments are past due. When she slips and injures her nose, Cecy goes to the nearby hospital for treatment after mixing painkillers with alcohol. However, when she is unable to pay her $210 ER tab, a sexy hunk offers to pay her tab if she provides him with typing assistance. Desperate Cecy agrees to fill in for financial planner Chas Buchanan while his assistant is away.

Cecy and her cat move into Chas' office to live unbeknownst to the boss. Meanwhile Chas lusts after his new assistant, but she does not fit into own life plan. Still, he finds himself falling in love and Cecy does too, but she is irresponsible nouveau poor and he is ultra responsible leaving little commonality at least on the surface for a relationship.

Sexy and Sassy. Very funny, pretty clean, and entertaining. Hard to put down.

I absolutely loved this book. It reminded me of the old time comedy classic movies. I giggled and laughed out loud with these two charactors. It's a keeper.

Cecily meets Chas in the emergency clinic when she literally trips over his feet and lands on him. She is down on her luck and needs a job, and he desperately needs a temporary secretary. Chas has no idea what he's about to get into- everywhere that Cecily goes, calamities happen and hilarity ensues.
Many times while I was reading this, I literally laughed out loud. Cecily is an awesome character- flawed, yes. But she has a great heart and I found it easy to like her and root for her throughout the story. Chas was referred to as "young stiff-rump, jr." because he was becoming so set in his ways. He was harder to like, and I thought it took him WAY too long to wake up and smell the coffee. Cecy's character makes up for that though, and I really enjoyed reading this.
