Synopsis: 'Berry Knudsen had a talent for disaster, but when she climbed a tree to rescue a kitten, she wasn’t prepared for the scrumptious hunk undressing in a nearby window — or her dive downward that smashed Jake Sawyer’s pizza… and won his heart! With a smile that was half little boy, half pirate and a mouthwatering body, Jake stunned her with a fiercely passionate embrace, then teased her with pleasure that was habit forming. He made her blush, he made her laugh, and he made her want — but was there room in her chaotic schedule for a risk-taking inventor with dreams? Days filled with classes, nights delivering pizzas and caring for three eccentric old ladies she’d rescued from the train station, didn’t leave much time for courting — but Jake thrived on a challenge, and he could be very inventive, planting seductive fantasies in Berry’s brain, and smoldering kisses everywhere he touched! Could he teach her there was time to make butterscotch pudding and let herself be loved?'
Review: Rather formulaic, but I do like the introduction of the 'little old ladies'. ( )

Interesting story at times a little rushed with an ending that seemed to be missing something ( )

I didn't even finish it, I read part of the last chapter and every thing I said was going to happen, happened. This book is a prime example why I don't like romance novels, their cheesy and predictable. I decided not to finish it because what's the point in reading a book that you can guess what happens in the beginning, middle and end. I like books that keeps you guessing or at least tries. This book didn't even try, they all have the same plot, girl meet the guy, deny that the woman is falling for this said guy, have sex with him and live happily ever after.....Am I wrong? That's why I prefer Romantic Suspense, at least they have some excitement. The 2 stars is because it wasn't bad writing it was just poor everything else. ( )

Could have given another star because i sort of like the development of the story. I enjoyed reading it but i found some parts of the book to be a little lame. ( )

A funny book with one mishap after another. Berry is running a pizza place, going to school, and has her life all planned until she accidentally sees Jake undressing from her perch in a nearby tree. Although it is rather unbelievable, it is a fun light read that kept my interest.
