Becca Davis has always played it safe -- denying her passion for fashion design in a dead-end job and letting her pragmatic boyfriend (mastermind of the "Kevin Bradley Ten-Year Plan") make the tough decisions in life. Stunned into saying yes when Mr. Predictable springs a surprise proposal on her, Becca realizes that she's running out of time to turn her life around. She's only got one more chance to chase her dreams and no one -- not her control freak fiancé, not her dramaholic sisters, not her overprotective parents -- will talk her out of it. Terrified but determined, Becca breaks off her engagement, moves in with her sister in Los Angeles, and prepares to take the fashion world by storm. The reality of the Hollywood scene is much harsher than she anticipated -- lots of slamming doors, snooty clients, and double-crossing celebrity stylists -- but she won't give up. And while she's waiting for her big break, she meets Connor, a sexy risk-taker who's the polar opposite of her ex-fiancé. Is Becca ready for his all-or-nothing approach to love? With her design business taking off and her family starting to fall apart, she's about to learn the timeliest lesson of all: Love and fashion wait for no woman. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Could YOU Just Walk Away From a Diamond Ring?3 1/2 Stars Rebecca Davis is a college grad that has dreams of becoming a fashion designer, but works in a boutique - she has a boyfriend of 5 years and the story opens when Kevin decides to propose. Most girls would be thrilled, but Becca can hardly breathe! She loves Kevin (at least she thinks she does) but she's not sure that he's "the one", but after dating for 5 years, she doesn't know if she can just walk away. She meets Connor - a successful businessman and thrill ... Read More Rating:  - Please save your time and moneyDo not waste your time on this book. It is poorly written, the 'plot' makes no sense, the characters are so unlikely and unlikable. It's hard to believe that this author has had 3 books published! Who is her following? I can read anything and do love a good, or even a really bad, novel as much as the next girl but this book is boring and unengaging. The only reason that I finished it was because I was stuck in a hospital waiting room with nothing else to do. There are sooo many other chick-lit writers ... Read More Rating:  - 5 Stars!I thought this was a pretty funny book and I enjoyed the story. I thought it was well written and it kept me interested until the end, plus it gave me an insight into the fashion industry. I would definitely recommend it. Rating: - good, not greatI read the reviews on this before heading out to the store and was disappointed after finishing the book. The first few chapters took about 5 minutes to read, not much in them. The middle of the book was entertaining but nothing exciting happened. The last few chapters had all the activity but for having read 200 pages of blah storyline the last 100 pages really needed to be more than they were. I do not regret reading it and I may pick up another by the author, but I was disappointed in this book, I expected ...
