LA Publicist Hannah is ready to put her broken heart behind her and start afresh. So when a celebrity client offers to lend her a luxury penthouse apartment in New York City, Hannah jumps at the chance.

But it turns out that balancing a new job and new neighbours is harder than Hannah imagined. With a troublesome – yet undeniably attractive – client making headlines for all the wrong reasons, and the secretive curmudgeon next door seemingly on a mission to get her out, Hannah has her hands full.

It’s going to take all her best PR tricks to win over each of these cynics. But it isn’t only their walls that begin breaking down. And as Hannah starts to open her own heart to all the possibilities the city has to offer, a chance at love might be closer than she thinks.

This is New York, after all.

How lovely it was to be reading a new Melissa Hill book, I haven't spotted a new release of hers in a long while and I've always been a fan. 

This was a highly enjoyable rom-com set in New York.  Hannah has just moved back to New York, after her stint in LA went a bit wrong, and she is now building up a new client list in the big Apple.  And one of the people she now needs to do PR work for is Wildcat Ward. 

Ward is an ice-hockey player who needs a bit of a new image, or he may get dropped from the team, once he is recovered from his recent injury. 

From the first meeting between Hannah and Ward I was intrigued. There was just something about them that was really funny, clumsy and amusing to read about. 

I loved getting to know Ward and all the characters in this book.

I really enjoyed reading this story. 

Thank you to HQ and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
