Blurb: Every dreary day, Zach Driscoll takes the elevator from the penthouse apartment of his father’s building to his coldly charmed life where being a union lawyer instead of a corporate lawyer is an act of rebellion. Every day, that is, until the day, the elevator breaks, and Sean Mallory practically runs into his arms.
Substitute teacher Sean Mallory is everything Zach is not—poor, happy, and goofily charming. With a disarming smile and a penchant for drama, Sean laughs his way into Zach’s heart one elevator ride at a time. Zach would love to get to know Sean better, but first he needs the courage to leave his ivory tower and face a relationship that doesn’t end at the “Ding!”

Review: Fair warning for anyone who likes Amy Lane’s writing for her angst, this is a very low angst book! But it is lovely, sweet, and even funny, definitely a wonderful short novella worth reading. It’s a feel good story about stumbling into love, and taking a chance.
I have to chuckle because we all know those moments, like the ones Zach has when he purposely changes his schedule to keep meeting up with Sean in the elevator. I did the same thing, changing my running schedule in the morning so I would keep meeting up with my cute neighbor, and 12 years later, we’re still married! So yes, this is a cute and believable tale! More about leaving the security and comfort of one life, to take a gamble on something new, exciting, independent, and hopefully finding love at the same time. Leaving comfort and security to be true to one’s self.
A feel good, warm, and fuzzy tale of love in the elevator, and the sweet schoolteacher rescuing the prince in the tower!
