Before he gives a speech about their company at a holiday gala at
the South Bank Hotel in London, client Jake sends his events planner Abby to
the penthouse searching for his missing in action brother Leo. She finds him sprawled out sleeping on the
floor of the bathroom. Abby awakens the
exhausted and somewhat intoxicated hunk; who due to her drill sergeant efforts
manages to attend the party.
Abby and Leo are attracted to each other, so as she cleans up
after the celebration ends he persuades her to share what’s left of an
all-niter with him. That tryst leads to
an email relationship. As both of them
fall in love, she dreams of marriage while he suffers from commitment phobia
having been hurt before.
This is a refreshing long distance information age romance between
two pleasant independent protagonists.
The email courtship engages the audience; as the heroine knows he’s the
one, while her champion wants to delete it but cannot do so.
