From The Publisher:

"A sexy, fun, unexpected romp of opposites first attract then combust and explode" - Carly Phillips, New York Times bestselling author

From New York Times bestseller Anna Zaires comes an electrifying romantic comedy duet about two people who couldn't be more wrong for each other... or more right.

A billionaire who wants a perfect wife...

At thirty-five, Marcus Carelli has it all: wealth, power, and the kind of looks that leave women breathless. A self-made billionaire, he heads one of the largest hedge funds on Wall Street and can take down major corporations with a single word. The only thing he's missing? A wife who'd be as big of an achievement as the billions in his bank account.

A cat lady who needs a date…

Twenty-six-year-old bookstore clerk Emma Walsh has it on good authority that she's a cat lady. She doesn't necessarily agree with that assessment, but it's hard to argue with the facts. Raggedy clothes covered with cat hair? Check. Last professional haircut? Over a year ago. Oh, and three cats in a tiny Brooklyn studio? Yep, she's got those.

And yes, fine, she hasn't had a date since… well, she can't recall. But that part is fixable. Isn't that what the dating sites are for?

A case of mistaken identity…

One high-end matchmaker, one dating app, one mix-up that changes everything... Opposites may attract, but can this last?

**2.5**

Eh. I thought Emma was whiny, stupid, and ridiculous. And Marcus has his head so far up his ass that he's hard to like.

And the event at the end that causes all the drama was just utterly overblown bullcrap. On both their parts. My eyes rolled so hard I got a headache.
