Maddy is a rich socialite who also happens to be a dediced workaholic who, because of the many failed relationships of her sister and father, does not believe in love, but especially happily ever afters. When she is tapped to bid on a bachelor gigolo at a charity event to keep her stepmother from doing so and straying on Maddy's father, Maddy soon finds out that there is hope for her despite her jaded view.
Jake Wallace is a dedicted and sensitive EMS paramedic who by a twist of Fate and having his arm twisted finds himself on the bidding block, ogled by the fashionable and rich elite at a charity event. When he spots Maddy before coming up on stage he manifests his destiny praying that it will be she, the warm and real woman to bid on and win him rather than the other thin, cool ice princesses at the event. When he gets his wish, however, he finds out that he is up against some stiff competition in order to win Maddy's heart, that being her jaded view on love and a series of miscommunications that have Maddy believing Jake is a gigolo who sleeps with women for money.
Rather than reveal the truth too soon and clear things up, Jake goes along with Maddy's idea to be with her exclusively for 30 days, believing that by the end of this time he will get her to see him for who and what he really is and trust him, if not outright fall in love with him. But Jake soon learns that things don't always work out the way he plans.
Sweet and passionate romance with an engaging and energetic h/h at the center of a humorous and entertaining story. I enjoyed this one. ”
