Nate Pearson is ridiculously handsome and wears the hell out of a suit and tie, but I’ve seen the parade of beautiful women leaving his apartment across the hall—a different one every time—and I want no part of it. When it comes to romance, I’m looking for something real, something that will last: the happily ever after.
As a divorce attorney, he loves to tell me there’s no such thing.
As a wedding planner, I choose to disagree.
We disagree on almost everything, in fact. Everything except James Bond. The only time we really get along is when we’re watching 007 flicks together, and I’ll admit—he has rescued me from a disaster or five. So when one of the baton twirlers from his parade leaves a baby girl at his door with a note that says “I’ll come back for her” and he begs me for help, I can’t turn him down.
But it’s a mistake.
Because watching him with his daughter, I start to see another side of Nate, a side that has my breath coming faster, my body craving his, my heart longing for him to change his mind about love and tell me there’s a chance for us.
I don’t want to be just another girl leaving his apartment in the morning.
I want to be the one he asks to stay.

My Review:
My Rating: 4 stars
Nate and Emme have lived across the hall from each other for years, but have only been friends. Nate is always there to save Emme, whether it be from locking herself out of her apartment to other stuff. Nate is not into relationships, especially being a divorce lawyer, whereas Emme wants the happily ever after. Both are fine with their friendship until a baby turns up on Nate's door. Nate has no clue what to do with a baby, but lucky for him his neighbor across the hall used to babysit. Learning how to be a dad is a lot of work, but it also brings up thoughts about why he's never really let anyone in. Watching Emme with his daughter and spending time with her Nate has to figure out what he wants in his life. Does he want Emme as more than just a friend? Now seeing Nate with a baby, Emme sees a softer side of Nate and with the underlying attraction that has always been there can she stay away?
This was a great book written in dual point of view that shows how they both are handling the news of Nate's daughter and the attraction between the two. Nate's fears aren't going to go away instantaneously and Emme needs to work on some things too. I enjoyed this book better than the third one in the series because it wasn't as insta-love and had to laugh at Stella because I knew what was going to happen when she got her story. Overall, this was a great book and I will have to read the second one in the series soon.
