The perfect life, the perfect job, the perfect man, the perfect wedding... this is what so many women dream about. Kate Lawrence was no different and she thought she had achieved it. "I'll always care about you." Not the words a prospective bride wants to hear from her groom-to-be, less than five hours before the ceremony. With these words, Kate realizes her perfect world is falling apart. "'Kate, tell me what I can do...I want to help fix things.' She wanted to tell him there was no fixing this. There was no fixing her heart or the impending collision of her life and her career." Kate is no typical bride, Kate is an up-and-coming marriage counselor whose wedding is the publicity launch for her new book. However, Kate doesn't count on her own personal Mr. Fix-It, Lucas Wright.
Upon hearing Kate's dilemma Lucas offers to to stand-in as a new Mr. Wright (eh, Right). Lucas has been fascinated with Kate from the moment she walked into his workshop, seeking to rent the upstairs office space. The rest of the book explores Lucas's attempts to save Kate from pain and embarrassment while showing her the extent of his love, and Kate's attempts to reconcile these new feelings with her preconceived definitions of a perfect life mate. In the end, they both have to look closely at what it truly means to love someone.
Not the best book I've ever read, but many redeeming qualities. A good read for those times when you just need something to distract the mind.
