About this audiobook
Can an always-tardy garlic mogul and a punctual Silicon Valley librarian fall in love?
The world needs garlic and somebody’s got to sell that garlic. Cedric Johnson is that man. But even though he’s got just about everything he can wish for, Cedric is still missing one thing in his life: someone special. Fate may be on his side, but he encounters a few distractions along the way—like almost being killed by a UPS truck. Oh, and a little case of blackmail.
Ellie Fontaine is a walking Wikipedia with clear professional goals, but when it comes to landing Mr. Right, she doesn’t know jack squat. She gives online dating a shot, but ends up with an unappetizing buffet of unibrows and losers. What’s a girl to do?
After Ellie saves Cedric’s life, serendipity takes over as they continue to run into each other. Their connection grows stronger with each meeting, even though he embodies her number one pet peeve: he’s always late. But even if they can get past their issues and misunderstandings, Ellie’s ex-boyfriend, an unscrupulous cop, will do anything to keep them apart.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5DANG IT RICH. I have a soft spot for Rich Amooi, for some reason. Maybe because he's a guy writing romance?! And almost always has cute pets in his books?! And is genuinely funny sometimes?!
I just keep giving him another chance, even though I ever totally LOVE any of his books. I just keep thinking he has so much potential, and that someday he'll get better cover art/fonts.
Sadly, this one set up so many promising characters and possible plots that it never followed through on, while it twanged endlessly on the same old notes over and over. I had high hopes for things in the beginning, but it all went on about ten chapters longer than it really should have.
A good editing would have done it some favors, but as it was, I ended up DNFing it.
SORRY RICH! But I'm sure I'll be back! For some reason, I just can't quit you.....
