Sasha Gardner works for the IRS as senior auditor, and it isn’t winning her any points with the gentlemen. Despite being vastly intelligent, moderately attractive, and friendly, Sasha can’t seem to find a man who would be willing to talk with her let alone spend a lifetime with her. After a disastrous night at the local bar where she met yet another man with an aversion to auditors, Sasha has been having a problem focusing on her work. Useless information, it seems, is more interesting. While this normally wouldn’t have been a problem as Sasha is a fan of useless information---and who isn‘t?---it’s starting to affect her work.
Unfortunately for Sasha, reflections over her love life aren’t the only things affecting her. She’s getting strange phone calls from irate gardeners in the defense of a man named Jonah Gray; a man she’s been assigned to audit. Everyone seems to be rallying for this Jonah Gray, and after some research she is as well. Lives become tangled and complex as the story continues. Sasha, almost taking on the part of a stalker, learns more of Jonah Gray as she comes to grips with her father’s illness, her half-brother‘s appearance, and her recent romantic relationship.
Cochran has done a superb job of depicting Sasha, the girl on the sidelines, as her lackluster and collected life unravels around her. Cochran’s supporting characters are well developed and compliment a brilliant storyline that, though littered with sadness, is a fun and engaging tale. A must read on any reader’s list.
