  <description><![CDATA[No one is better than Kate Bennett at playing by the rules–because no one has quite her knack for running into bad luck. Orphaned while in college, Kate handled her loss by graduating with honors and acquiring a secure job and a dependable boyfriend. But now, with her thirtieth birthday around the corner, Kate decides it’s time to shake things up.  She quits her job, breaks up with her long-term boyfriend, and U-Hauls it across the country for her first year at Tulane Law School. Too bad nothing in the Big Easy is quite so easy….<br/><br/>Before she knows it, Kate finds her life turned upside down by a notoriously sadistic professor, a larger-than-life new boss–and two interested men who are sure that she’s The One…. But can either of the men in her life really know Kate, when she’s just getting to know herself? In a year of self-discovery, the most important lesson Kate may learn is that to change your luck, sometimes you have to change your mind–including what you thought was your dream.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[No one is better than Kate Bennett at playing by the rules–because no one has quite her knack for running into bad luck. Orphaned while in college, Kate handled her loss by graduating with honors and acquiring a secure job and a dependable boyfriend. But now, with her thirtieth birthday around the corner, Kate decides it’s time to shake things up.  She quits her job, breaks up with her long-term boyfriend, and U-Hauls it across the country for her first year at Tulane Law School. Too bad nothing in the Big Easy is quite so easy….<br/><br/>Before she knows it, Kate finds her life turned upside down by a notoriously sadistic professor, a larger-than-life new boss–and two interested men who are sure that she’s The One…. But can either of the men in her life really know Kate, when she’s just getting to know herself? In a year of self-discovery, the most important lesson Kate may learn is that to change your luck, sometimes you have to change your mind–including what you thought was your dream.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I didnt enjoy this one as much as Whitney Gaskell's other books. It's about law students, &amp; they mostly act like high school students, &amp; it seems like they'd rather go out drinking than study &amp; get good grades. I didnt like the alcoholic, gay boss, he was weird &amp; didnt really need to be in the story...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20016722">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[No one is better than Kate Bennett at playing by the rules&#8211;because no one has quite her knack for running into bad luck. Orphaned while in college, Kate handled her loss by graduating with honors and acquiring a secure job and a dependable boyfriend. But now, with her thirtieth birthday around the corner, Kate decides it&#8217;s time to shake things up.  She quits her job, breaks up with her long-term boyfriend, and U-Hauls it across the country for her first year at Tulane Law School. Too bad nothing in the Big Easy is quite so easy&#8230;.<br/><br/>Before she knows it, Kate finds her life turned upside down by a notoriously sadistic professor, a larger-than-life new boss&#8211;and two interested men who are sure that she&#8217;s The One&#8230;. But can either of the men in her life really know Kate, when she&#8217;s just getting to know herself? In a year of self-discovery, the most important lesson Kate may learn is that to change your luck, sometimes you have to change your mind&#8211;including what you thought was your dream.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Needed some fluff and this one had been sitting on my shelf for far too long. Great story set at Tulane Law School where friends are hooking up and breaking up in between studying. It was everything I needed and more...perfect brain candy! I definitely think I'll be reading many more by Ms. Gaskell....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11031082">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This story was engaging and entertaining. It is definitely worth it. I've read all of Gaskell's books and I really felt she went in depth with the main character; my only annoyance is that she didn't really develop Nick's character or the way Kate felt in regards to him. I still recommend. ]]></body>
