Storyline: Not only is Clark Townsend one of the hottest young men in West Hollywood, but he has successfully managed to turn his best friend and first client Eddy Malone—a talented, eccentric party girl—into one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood. Now, after buying a new condo, Clark throws a dinner party, inviting friends and colleagues, including Eddy’s domineering publicist TJ—a black lesbia...n quickly losing her patience with Eddy’s wild ways. With TJ comes longtime friend Pearce Wright—an awkward, spiritual, down-to-Earth life counselor, who is smitten with Clark at first sight. Clark, however, is far too wrapped up in Eddy to notice, especially when Eddy pulls an offbeat stunt that almost kills her career, and forces TJ to drop her as a client indefinitely. In an effort to win Clark over, Pearce propositions TJ, offering his services to Eddy in return of TJ giving her a second chance. TJ reluctantly agrees, and Clark is thrilled to oblige Eddy’s time in exchange for a second shot with TJ. Without Eddy’s consent, Clark agrees to let Pearce take them all on a weekend wilderness therapy retreat, in hopes of helping Eddy gain a new perspective on her life and career. That weekend, a motley crew of Clark and Eddy's closest friends trek to a cabin in the Angeles National Forest, where Pearce hopes to not only give Eddy a new outlook, but convince Clark of one as well—one that involves a romance between the two of them.

I was a little afraid to read this novel due to the wrong assumption it was sad and full of angst; how could have not been? A brother who is searching for his lost relative among the ruins of the World Trade Center, a lover who is searching for his lost partner in the Afghanistan war zone, we are too used to the tragic news about these two events for me to expect something else. To add weight to my worries, on the first scene Teddy is having a one night stand with Stan, a foreign-service officer just back from Afghanistan where he practically abandoned his lover, Ali, despite the clear love of the boy, and above all, the big danger he is in.

I’m deeply regretting to have not read this book before, this is exactly like one of those historical romances I eagerly read when I was a teenager and so loved. There is the dashing scoundrel, and as often it happens he has a wise old aunt who is holding the purse strings; she deeply love her rake of a nephew but she wants for him to settle down for the good of the title but above all for his own happiness. There is of course a vain lover, more interested to that purse than to the gentleman, and there is of course the innocent soul who happens to step into the mouse’s trap totally unaware. And in this case mouse is the appropriate definition since this is like Stephen, the Earl of St. Joseph, nicknamed Jamie, the shy historian who was supposed to be his nephews’ tutor before the tragedy of losing them and their parents to a shipwreck. Jamie insinuates not only in Stephen’s house and in the life of all the household, but with his good heart and innocent behaviour, also in the heart of the handsome earl, even if the man has a lover, Julian, the Golden One, that is way prettier than the little country mouse Jamie.
