Geri Guillaume's latest book was a very good read. Jacie was on her way to a job interview in a car that she has had for years. Her baby decides to stall in the middle of an intersection. When another car runs a light and is headed toward Jacie, Chas makes a quick decision to try and save her life. This causes a chain of events and bonds Chas and Jacie's life together. I loved the way that Mrs Guillaume developed the characters. The secondary characters helped to bring everything together, G-Paw had some serious issues with his views of women. Jacie was not someone who would let people walk over her and Chas was determine to make sure that her reputation is not ruined with gossip about their relationship. Jacie and Chas were able to help each other heal old wounds and fall in love without even knowing it.

Jacie Metcalf and Charles Thibeaudaux literally met by accident. Jacie laid off from the factory where she was supervisor is on her way to a job interview, in borrowed clothes and a car that has seen better days, she needs this job to keep her from falling deeper in debt. Charles Tibeaudaux is next in line to inherit the family business, he has devoted long hours and early mornings to help his G-Paw continue his legacy. What Chas has not devoted much time to is a love beyond a thriving business.

Feeling responsible for the spur of moment decision that has caused Jacie to lose out on another job, Chas makes her an offer, but after talking with her brother Uri, Jacie has a counter offer for Chas. GIVE ME A JOB! G-Paw sees the change in Chas the moment Jacie comes into his life and the vow Chas made after the painful breakup from the women he once hoped to marry is about to be tested. Jacie's new job is demanding, paired to work close with Chas the chemistry they try to ignore, leads to whispers and innuendos about their true relationship. As gossip becomes gospel, Chas' desire for Jacie goes beyond boss and trainee, but he must let go of his past if they are to share a perfect future.

Chas's cousin Remy adds spice, and G-Paw, Chas's namesake is definitely a character, the book was a little slow at times but still pretty good.

I had a hard time getting into this book. It was slow going. There were chapters that were of no interest to me at all. But I kept reading and am glad that I did. In the end, I liked both characters and how their story ended.

I love this book. The first part was a little slow, but as you continued it got better. The character's were just unforgetable.
