Before I even met Donovan Decker, I knew his shoe size.
You see, I’d gone away for a few days, and in my haste to get out of the airport, I’d grabbed the wrong suitcase.
After checking out the expensive footwear and tailored clothes, I dialed the number on the luggage tag hoping maybe Mister Big Spender might have my bag.
A deep, velvety voice answered, and as luck would have it, he had my suitcase, too.
Donovan and I met at a coffee shop to do the exchange.
Turned out, it wasn’t just his voice that was sexy. The man holding my luggage was absolutely gorgeous, and we had an immediate spark.
He got me to admit that I’d snooped in his bag and then convinced me to make it up to him by letting him buy me coffee.
Coffee led to dinner, dinner led to dessert, and dessert led to spending an entire weekend together. Donovan wasn’t just handsome with a panty-dropping voice. He was also funny, smart, and surprisingly down to earth for a man who wore seven-hundred-dollar shoes.
Did I mention he also did my laundry while I slept?
Definitely too good to be true.
So what did I do to repay him for his kindness?
I waited until he was in the shower, then ghosted him.
My life was too complicated for such a great guy.
In the months that passed, I thought about Donovan often. But New York City had eight-million people, so what were the chances I’d run into him?
Then again, what were the chances I’d run into him a year later…when I’d just started dating his boss?
4 Stars
Fated into each others paths not once but twice. How does that happen? How do you not hold on to that and do everything you can to make sure it happens the second time? That is exactly what Donovan tries to do, but it is not easy by any stretch.
Donovan is a good lawyer and working hard to be one of the youngest to achieve partner. With that comes many long hours and lots of time doing whatever is asked of you by the other partners. So when he is called upon late at night to do a pro-bono case, he heads to the station. Never in his dreams did he expect this case to bring him in the face of his past and the one he can't stop thinking about.
Autumn grew up with everything she wanted being the daughter of a high powered lawyer, living in the high class part of town. But what did all that get her? Nothing but a past that has pushed her to wanting to help those less advantaged than her. Understanding that the system often is led in it's beliefs. Determined to make a difference while keeping herself at arms length to keep herself safe.
The more we get to know these characters the more we understand some of their actions. Donovan is able to use his past to help get his client to see you have to work hard but you can make a difference and break the spell. That there are people out there that truly want to help you be a better you and find a better life.
Overall a good story that kept me engaged until this end.
