Generally, I like my romance with a dash of paranormal but this book was just wonderful! I can't believe it doesn't have more reviews. GO READ IT! The only reason it didn't get 5 stars from me is for the editing. It's like the editing stopped one third of the way through and then it was typos all over. A lot of "though" instead of "through" kind of thing that spellcheck doesn't catch. Aiden is an emotionally broken man but a brilliant marketing/ad agency whiz. Bailey is a physically broken woman who is struggling to make it in the marketing world. They have a few more things in common though - their best friend and sometimes huge jacka$$, Blake, and a photo blog called White Balance. This was a very well written book that takes you through each character's struggles. The story wouldn't have been as believable if the author hadn't taken the time to set the stage at the beginning with Aiden. The POV changes were so smooth that it felt more like a natural progression rather than an intermission or interruption of the story. I fell in love with each one of the characters. It was heartbreaking and beautiful and poetic and so much fun to read. Aiden is in the advertising business & at the start of the book he's deeply depressed after his wife & unborn child die in an accident. He's merely going through the motions at work & not even trying outside of work.Bailey has her own business event planning & she does a daily photo blog. She loses her job due to circumstances outside her control, but for which she's blamed anyway.They have a mutual friend, Blake who is also owns his own advertising business & he manipulates each of them to come work with him. Blake is quite the asshat. He manipulates every bit of the situation that he can & refuses to acknowledge how talented Bailey is.Bailey extremely dislikes Aiden after they meet, but mostly that's because Blake has tied Aiden's hands with how much he can clue Bailey in on what's going down in the office. Then while he & Bailey are returning from a "getting to know" lunch, they come across a man who's in the process of having a heart attack & together they help save him. This creates a bond between them. As Bailey gets to know Aiden better, her feelings for him grow, but Aiden has a very difficult time moving on with his life after his wife's death.There's not very much sex in this book, but the sexual tension if off-the-charts.
Do You like book White Balance (2000)?
Liked the characters and the witty banter. Story was ok but seemed to drag a bit
