The second book in the New York series by Ruthie Knox. Allie Fredericks is in New York to spy on her mother. While spying on her in a local bar, Allie meets Winston Chamberlain. Allie uses Winston to prevent her mother from discovering her. They develop a little friendship that includes benefits.

I really hesitate to call this a romance. Yes, it does have the requirements of a romance but it was more of a journey of discovery for both Allie and Winston. Winston was introduced in About Last Night, a book unrelated to this series. And one I have surprisingly already read. But you don't have to have read it to enjoy this book. Anyway, Allie is from Wisconsin and has reasons to believe her mother is cheating on her father. She has a few misguided beliefs that she can "fix" the situation and all will be fine. Winston came to New York to be with his daughter while she attends college.

The story runs at a good pace. The characters were likable and real. I did feel the ending left you with wanting more but overall I really enjoyed this book.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
