After sustaining a knee injury during the Stanley Cup Finals, Miles Donnelly is ordered to rest and recuperate in hopes of keeping his professional hockey career. Needing a place to stay in New York while undergoing therapy, he just happens to choose the apartment building owned by the father of the woman whom he accidentally met at the hospital.
Linda Bancroft finally has the chance to prove to her father she can run his company. After a heart attack, he’s forced to rely on Linda to manage his real estate empire. But, not everyone is happy about her new position. While she scrambles to put out fires, including finding a new apartment manager, she receives help from a most unlikely source.
The handsome man she met at the hospital needs an apartment and has the necessary plumbing skills and time to be a temporary apartment manager. When he agrees to help her out, she can’t help but be attracted to the roguish charmer. Their chemistry is undeniable, and as their friendship grows, it soon blossoms to more. Will her wealthy parents accept him, or will they continue to push her towards unwanted suitors?
I enjoyed this cute opposites attract romance. At just under 150 pages, this novella really delivered a great story that made me anxious to read the entire series. I loved Miles and Linda. There were some definite obstacles to their relationship including their different backgrounds, but I enjoyed how they were able to work through them. Miles is such a flirt and he really turns on the charm. I loved the way he was always so supportive of Linda. Along with the romance, the mystery of who was trying to sabotage Linda really kept me turning the pages.
The Best Mistake is easily read as a standalone, but is an amazing prequel to the entire Dream’s Edge series. I received a complimentary paperback copy from the author. All opinions are my own and freely given. (
