That Day

A Curvy Romance

De: Deana Farrady

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

She's a bookworm obsessed with Agatha Christie, living with her sisters. He's a hotshot in business, yet that rare breed, an ethical CEO. They almost became friends that day. And then it all went south.

A low-angst, feel-good romance about healing old scars, career choices, screwing up, accountability, communication, and being decent to each other.

Harriet

It was the story of my life, getting disappointed by shallow men-children who judge only by appearances.

And then I met him: a dreamy guy who turned out to be so much more than I'd thought. We had one perfect day together...until he turned around and insulted me cruelly, dashing all my fragile, budding hopes that I'd finally met a man who really saw me. Being me, I naturally stood up for myself and unleashed my righteous fury upon him.

Months later, I learned I may have made a big mistake...may have thrown away what was actually a rare and beautiful thing. And now I ache to find out the truth.

Only I'm too late. It turns out he hasn't forgotten the words I hurled at him in that one reckless burst of temper. And as a result he flat-out hates me, can't stand me.

How do you apologize to an out-of-reach man - your sister's boss, in fact - when he won't speak a civil word to you?

Lee

I made a major error of judgment. I lowered my guard with a hard woman I mistook for an offbeat, bookish sweetheart. She seemed to have an utter lack of pretension and be so sincere and trustworthy. Luckily she showed me her true colors before I gambled everything and revealed all my secrets.

I'm done with trying to have a serious relationship. It's time to double down on my stressful role as CEO...and go back to shallow dating.

Problem is, as much as I despise Harriet, I can't forget our rare connection or stop wondering what was real and what was fake.

But I have way more serious things to worry about than that day with Harriet and her luscious, tempting body. I will not, definitely not, respond to her texts.
