So, this was a super sweet, super cute, super short friends-to-lovers romance that sort of reminded me of a naughtier version of My Fair Lady.

 

Here’s what’s going on: Anna’s brothers bet her that she can’t get a date for the local charity event. She’s determined to prove them wrong as well as attend the event to prove to the community just how far she has come.

 

Chase, Anna’s best friend, has the solution. Since he wants an in to the gala to drum up business, he offers to be Anna’s date and teach her how to be a lady. What neither was expecting was to develop feelings for the other.

 

I’m a massive fan of the Copper Ridge series and it’s nice meeting new residents of the town. So I was eager to read this one.

 

I really liked Anna. She’s a big machine mechanic, she loves old movies, and she’s made something of herself. Chase was a bit harder to like. He’s content with one-night stands and he’s not really into settling down. Honestly, he’s a bit of a man whore.

 

So, there’s a whole lot of awkward going on here as they transition from friends to lovers. Some of it’s a bit cringe-worthy but I ended up liking them together, once Chase got his act together.

 

Overall, this was a cute story, other than the friends-to-love part, not much happened.
