Two strangers accidentally switch cell phones in a busy airport in this edgier You’ve Got Mail, sexy romance for the smart-phone era …Emmy What a disaster! I only just made my flight to New York to help my uncle, and the phone I’m holding is not mine! It seems to belong to some commitment-phobic serial dater who’s never made it past four dates (according to the constant notifications he’s … notifications he’s getting from his fake dating profile…) And worse? I have a sinking feeling it’s that hot suit-monkey with the arctic grey eyes I just had a run-in with at the airport. Somehow, I have to persuade him not to get a new phone until I get back. My whole life is on that phone. I knew I should have backed it up. It’s only a few days. Surely, we can handle it.
Trystan
This is a joke, right? My life could not get more f*cked up. I’m in the middle of selling my company and on my way to a funeral and that hot mess hippie-chick stole my freaking phone. I’m not sure how she convinced me not to immediately walk into a smart phone store and get a new one, but now she’s going to have to play stand in and distract me while I deal with my long-avoided and estranged family. I don’t have my dating apps after all, and frankly she’s pretty funny. And sexy. And why can’t I stop texting her? And now we’re talking. And … look, I’ll admit that I usually run for the hills the morning after, but the morning after phone sex? That’s not really real, right?

Emmy and Trystan get their phones switched at an airport and begin to talk to each other in order to take care of each others’ businesses. Emmy is going to New York where Trystan lives and Trystan is going to Charleston where Emmy lives, yet his estranged family also lives there. Emmy’s only family is in an old folks home in New York. With all the talking and joking they start to fall for each other. This is an unusual story and I enjoyed it.
Did not finish…not interesting
I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! If I could give it TEN STARS, I would! This is exactly the kind of book that I’ve been actively searching for, for the longest time, but this story went beyond that. This is a book I know I’ll read, again and again. The fact that the main characters never properly meet until almost the end of the book and were able to built the beginning of a friendship first… THAT’S what I’ve been looking for. Storyline: They accidently took each other’s cell phones (loaded with vital personal and business connections) when they sat next to each other at an airport’s charging station, as each is rushing off to, as it turns out, the other’s city of origin, hers is in Charleston, North Carolina…his is in New York, New York. The fact that the writer didn’t have them be automatically, wildly, uncontrollably sexually attracted to each other (insta-lust…ugh!) when they sat side by side was a breath of fresh air. On first impressions, he thinks she’s kinda cute, with big blue eyes and gorgeous red hair, which is one of his weaknesses, but he dismisses her as a little Hippie-Dippie, and she thinks that he’s a good looking, Wall Street douche-wagon with piercing gray eyes, labeling him a Suit Monkey. After the cell phone mix-up, through a couple of initial calls they decide they really didn’t like each other, but out of nessessity, they agree to keep each other’s phones for the weekend and transfer vital incoming infomation as it arrived…. unrealistic, sure, but go with it. Of coarse, each of them, for various reason ended up having to spend more time in the other’s city than they’d originally anticipated. (She with complications with a family member’s Dementia, he with a funeral and an unexpectantly detailed will). She’d rented an Airbnb that turned out to be in a not so desireable neighborhood, he’d landed in Charleston during a huge national reunion of sorts, and can’t find a hotel room beyond the week end (and no, for reasons that are understandable, he doesn’t want to stay with family members)… so they decide to trade each other’s normal place of residence to crash for the week… hers, a cozy cottage house apartment, and his a luxurious, modern hotel suite with room service. They end up talking on the phone, texting with suggestions of decent places to eat close by (where they meet each other’s friends). They let their curiosity get the better of them when they check out each other’s closets, choices in CD’s / DVD’s and books, medicine cabinets, cell phone pictures, dating apps, even old texts, and current e-mails, etc, etc… and THAT’S how they get to ‘know’ each other, and start to build a friendship and possible long term romance. Deep Sigh.
This was a very entertaining book. It was original and I loved the storyline and the characters.
Loved this book. Original situation and could totally relate to the problem of switched phones. Great story.
Loved it!
A unique story making for a refreshing read. A nice change from your typical ‘same old story, just different characters/author’ books.
Loved it. Going to buy the next one….
It was light reading, which I like. I enjoyed the characters, no one was obnoxious, and while it was unlikely to happen, I’m into pleasant stories – the world has enough grief in it!
I don’t write many reviews, even though I read every day! This book was very entertaining, had some lol witty lines and comebacks. I liked the characters, even though they weren’t perfect. HEA, but more realistic than most.
Great book and very funny! Laughed so hard at times could hardly breathe!
Fast paced read , original plot, characters believable, and witty
I really like this book. It was a little like fifty shades but no beating. More a mind game. Funny characters.
Enjoyable read!
Awesome book!
I really liked this book. Loved the characters
A great read!!
Loved reading the witty back and forth banter from both characters and how they helped each other overcome life’s obstacles. Can’t wait to read another book from this is author! 🙂
Most enjoyable
This was a DNF for me. It starts out with a “Meet Stupid” when ditsy Emmy and douchy “Suit Monkey” which is what Emmy calls him, BOTH are stupid enough to leave their phones unattended in the airport— WHO EVEN DOES THAT??? Then they both fail to notice they picked up the wrong phones when they got back – yeah sure….Of course she’s too dumb/scatty to use security code on her phone. He natch has masculine innate knowledge to have awesome phone security BUT she just happens to be sitting next to a hacker on the flight so he unlocks Tristan’s phone for Emmy. Family drama on both sides is happening and at that point I was just done with stupid premise and characters. I can’t suspend disbelief or like either H or h.
