Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
This cute contemporary from Hrib (Flirting with Disaster) finds architect Lydia McKenzie hoping to impress her workplace crush Jack by agreeing to join the team he's put together to run the New York City Marathon for charity. What Lydia doesn't expect is to fall in love with her trainer, Luke Townsend. Despite first impressions, Luke's much more than a pretty boy gym rat. Growing up underprivileged has led him to volunteer for the Manhattan Youth Center, which helped him in his childhood. Lydia's firm is now angling for the contract to renovate the center--and Luke's determined to make her see how important the crumbling facility is to the local kids. His passion and kindness awaken strong feelings in Lydia even as she tries to keep things strictly professional between them and refocus on Jack. When Jack attempts to take credit for her designs, however, she might finally realize what's been right in front of her all along. Luke's heart of gold makes him an endearing hero, and readers will have no trouble rooting for Lydia to move on from Jack. Hrib successfully tugs at the heartstrings. (Sept.)
