Mr. Essen continue this series with a bang. I love how unfiltered Rachel is and from the first moment she meets Zander she is that way. And Zander thinks it’s refreshing that he doesn’t have to wonder where Rachel stands.
Rachel the typical California socialite her days are filled with shopping, working out and visiting with her friends. She doesn’t have a job and no concept of what it means to work and have to support yourself. She is involved in an auto accident ruining her trip through Europe before she even leaves. That’s where Zander makes his appearance.
Zander is a police officer with aspirations of making detective one day. He knows what it means to have to work for a living to support yourself and he knows what loss is like. Finding his heart broken Zander moves to California. That’s when he first meets Rachel after her auto accident, he is the police officer that is assigned to her to get her statement.
After Zander has been cheated on he closes his heart to ever finding love. He is a serial dater only keeping women around for two or three weeks. But when he hooks up with Rachel sparks fly.
