Blue Daniels hates love and doesn't believe that it exists after catching her now ex-fiance cheating on her. She is a business analyst for a medical technology firm and is best friends with Hannah who is trying to convince her that she just hasn't met the right guy yet.
Harris Avery is a really good looking guy that works with Blue but she also sees all the women fawning all over him and knows his reputation of getting around the office.
One night Harris and Blue end up making a bet and it's Blue's heart on the line. How far is Blue willing to go to protect her heart even when she realizes she could be wrong?
I liked this book but I must admit that at times I really wanted to strangle Blue.
I understood why Blue didn't believe in love anymore but at the same time she had only been in two "real" relationships and she was basing everything off that and even though her parents had a great marriage. She was so cynical and after a while it drove me crazy.
Harris was such a playboy at the beginning of the book yet once he "pledged" himself to Blue he was so dedicated to her and I loved all of the little things he did for her. I loved the flowers and even the smallest detail like writing on the cards and making poems. I thought the ball game was an incredible touch and how Harris really went all out for her. At the same time Harris's past caught up to him a few times in the book and I felt bad for Blue but she was always quick to assume the worst.
Harris to me showed right from the beginning that he wasn't playing a game with Blue and he was constantly checking up on her to make sure that she was ok and that he would be there for her. When she was away he was checking up on her and she really appreciated that but at the same time she would tell herself that it wasn't true and that's what was killing me about the whole thing. Blue would feel appreciated and loved and then she would tell herself that it wasn't real and that she couldn't feel that way so she wouldn't.
I understood why Blue was so upset after the hospital and the dilemna she was faced with but again she blocked out Harris even though he said he would be there for her regardless of any outcome. Yet once again she pushed him away and by then I was honestly getting tired of it and I thought Harris should save himself the heartache and just run in the other direction.
When Blue finally realizes how she feels she shows up at Harris's to only jump to the wrong conclusion again but lucky for her, he was crazy about her and did what he could to make everything better.
The end was great and I was happy that Blue finally realized love could happen!
