With Emily as my wife, I finally understood what it was to be a truly rich man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Opinion:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.<\/p>\n<p>This book is a small town romantic comedy featuring a case of mistaken identity and a secret billionaire. Jake and Emily are the main characters that we get duel PoVs from \u2013 which I love. Emily was left a ranch by her aunt who has passed away and when she moves into it, she realizes she may be a bit over her head with the amount of work that needs to be done to fix it up so she hires a handyman to help out but what she gets is Jake who is most definitely not the handyman and who finds that he likes to help Emily out so he doesn\u2019t bother correcting her mistake.<\/p>\n<p>This book is full of witty banter and sarcastic humor that had me chuckling throughout. I was also a huge fan of the golden retriever guy, black cat girl energy that Carson instilled in this book \u2013 I thought it made for an interesting and humorous dynamic. One thing to note about this book is that it was only 162 pages long on my Kindle so I would classify it as a pretty quick and easy read. If you are looking for a more drawn out romance story, you won\u2019t find that here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Overall, I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a quick and easy romantic comedy full of humorous banter, enemies-to-lovers, and secret billionaires who find that they enjoy handyman work.
