Publisher's summary

Kindra Henderson is a successful artist who has everything she's ever dreamed of: A beautiful loft apartment in NY and an upcoming one-woman art show at the posh Wilshire Gallery in Manhattan. But her obnoxious neighbor in 3B holds wild parties almost every night, keeping her from finishing her important artwork. Although she's never met him, Kindra vows to get him thrown out of the building if it's the last thing she does.

Meet Brent Van Luesen, Kindra's obnoxious neighbor in 3B. Sure, he's a successful musician with a taste for wine, women, and song, lives in a gorgeous apartment, and has complete freedom every bachelor dreams about. But he has one problem: Kindra. Although he's never met her, he despises her for always complaining to the landlord about his parties.

At an art show, Brent sees Kindra for the first time and falls hard for her. He switches gears and decides to introduce himself. But when he overhears her describing him as the "rude neighbor in 3B," he decides to avoid a scene and presents himself as Lance Forrester, sweeping Kindra off her feet.

As the two fall in love, Brent realizes he's a better man as Lance than he is as himself, and Kindra realizes she's a more soulful artist with Lance than she is without. Can Brent keep up the ruse? Or will he finally tell Kindra the truth and risk losing the love of his life? Will Kindra accept the truth or will she return to living a life alone with her art?

Follow Kindra and Brent as they learn to master the fine art of love in this modern retelling of the classic Doris Day film, "Pillow Talk."

Cautionary tale

I really did like the story. The characters were well rounded and the plot was nicely fleshed out.

However, I'm not a fan of the AI voice at all. The loss of tone inflection was a big no for me.
