What Were You Expecting?

I bought this book because I've enjoyed Mayberry novels in the past, but I was kind of put off when I realized the hero and heroine are both journalists. As it turned out, there was no reason to worry. The characters were stellar and their careers played a minor role in the overall story. I liked both Jake and Poppy. Our first impression of Jake isn't a favorable one. He resents Poppy being hired with so little journalist experience and sets out to let her know right away. He isn't one of the wounded-heart types who's only an ass to hide his true feelings. He's just isn't afraid to say what's on his mind.Although Poppy is out of her depth and intimidated by Jake, she doesn't let him walk all over her. She stands up for herself and gives as good as she gets. Although writing is a new career for her and doesn't come naturally, she's determined to make it work. Overall this was a very sweet love story with solid characters. I every much enjoyed it.
