Ginger knows that practical choices guarantee a stable life, which is why she chose a career as an office manager. Her job provides a steady paycheck, but it also has her snoozing at her desk. She wishes she’d pursued her passion for interior decorating rather than business. She’s also trying to forget Greg Shaffer—the gorgeous emergency room doctor she met at a dance club last month. Her dad was … Her dad was an emergency room doctor and the stress of the job turned him into a raging alcoholic, which didn’t exactly create happy childhood memories.
Ginger believes donating her decorating services to her friend’s charity auction is the perfect fix for both her problems. She’ll get a break from the daily grind, get her creative juices flowing, and stay so busy she’ll finally forget about Greg.
But then Greg ends up buying the condo right above her. Even worse, he deliberately wins the bid on her auction item. Greg seems determined to prove to Ginger that practicality has nothing on passion. And as Ginger brings beauty into Greg’s world, how can she possibly resist the beauty he brings to hers?

Do you remember Gilligan’s Island? Some of the characters are named for that show. Fun storyline and good characters to prove that some lifelong ideas aren’t always right.

Ginger is kind of like a people pleaser, however, cannot please herself. She works a mundane job because her mom doesn’t believe she would be anything as an artist. She holds back from feelings of romance, or any sort, because of what would be childhood trauma from her father. Ginger didn’t want someone to be in her life just for them to not have …
Ginger lets everyone walk all over her and doesn’t know how to stand up for herself which leads to a fairly miserable life to be fair but thanks to a friend she has a chance at doing what she loves but Ginger has to really want it. Greg is a very patient guy and to be honest I don’t know if I would be but hats off to him and it does lead to some …

Loved this heartwarming, fun, sexy and action packed journey filled with interesting and engaging charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and unforgettable passion that will leave you breathless. Was a highly entertaining adventure from beginning to end.
Ginger finds herself having to redo Greg’s condo because he bought her entry at the auction. She had swore to stay away from the sexy doctor but fate kept bringing them together. Ginger realized in this fun and exciting romance that love can’t be denied no matter how hard you fight against it and Greg wins the girl in the end. Good read.

Loved the Gilligan’s Island references. Ginger is in a career she hates and is bored but she went into it because her parents told her she would have steady income. But then she’s laid off and she can concentrate on what she really loves. Art and decorating. When she donates her time to redo a house for a charity auction, the person who bought …
Loved it. Quirky an easy read
Easy to read. Fun. Good characters.
