Perpetually cheerful and eager to please, Gracie Cooper strives to make the best out of every situation. So when her father dies just months after a lung cancer diagnosis, she sets aside her dreams of pursuing her passion for art to take over his Midtown Manhattan champagne shop. She soon finds out that the store’s profit margins are being squeezed perilously tight, and complicating matters further, a giant corporation headed by the impossibly handsome, but irritatingly arrogant Sebastian Andrews is proposing a buyout. But Gracie can’t bear the thought of throwing away her father’s dream like she did her own.
Overwhelmed and not wanting to admit to her friends or family that she’s having second thoughts about the shop, Gracie seeks advice and solace from someone she’s never met—the faceless “Sir”, with whom she connected on a blind dating app where matches get to know each other through messages and common interests before exchanging real names or photos.
But although Gracie finds herself slowly falling for Sir online, she has no idea she’s already met him in real life…and they can’t stand each other.

My Review: Omg, this is such a cute story. It's a fun romantic comedy with You've Got Mail vibes. From the moment I started this one I was hooked. The characters are so easy to fall in love with. Gracie is a fairytale obsessed artist who runs her family's wine boutique and tries her hardest to keep the business alive while looking for her Mr. Right. She has the idea of the perfect man set in her mind, yet finds herself falling for a mystery man she started talking to on a dating app. Sebastian is a business man who is trying to buy out the lease on Grace's family business so Gracie instantly despises him. Rachel and Keva are awesome best friend characters, and Gracie's siblings Lily and Caleb are funny and supportive. Finding out the identity of the mystery man was a little predictable, I had a strong suspicion about halfway through. Overall I absolutely loved this book amd can't wait to read more of Layne's work.
