**Bait & Switch** by Darlene Gardner is the kind of contemporary romance that'll have you grinning like an idiot on public transport. When a case of mistaken identity throws two polar opposites together, expect sparks, laughs, and enough chemistry to power a small town. Gardner serves up all the delicious tension of enemies-to-lovers with characters who feel refreshingly real – no billionaire cowboys or secret princesses here, just genuine people figuring out love while life throws curveballs. Perfect for romance readers who appreciate witty banter, realistic relationships, and stories that don't take themselves too seriously. Gardner's knack for blending humor with heart makes this contemporary romance a standout in the genre. Whether you're a seasoned romance veteran or dipping your toes into love stories, this one delivers without the cringe. This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next adventure. *"Couldn't put it down! Gardner writes characters you actually want to hang out with."* *"Finally, a romance that made me laugh out loud instead of rolling my eyes."*
