Flynn and Sabrina have a crazy rendezvous at a masquerade ball, without knowing the other’s identity. Both still moving on from their pasts, they feel a connection.
Turns out, Sabrina is writing an expose on Flynn and a relationship would diminish any objectivity in such a story.
However, through the interviews for the story, they begin to form a real connection. They learn each other’s favorite spots in the city, about their families, talk about their past struggles with relationships.
Crazy first meeting aside, this couple gets true relationship-building and we get to see their story unfold so naturally.
The story did not feel rushed, even though it takes place over a couple of weeks. I always enjoy Lauren Blakely’s writing, so I’m looking forward to more.
