Sad but Cute

This book if funny, sad and heart-warming. Mathias Blackstone has lost all color in his life. His son Christopher died of Leukemia, he wanted to meet Jack Rabbitt but Mathias was unable to get that wish granted. So after his son's death, Mathias starts granting wishes and procuring things for people for money. He finds he is good at it, until he gets another wish from a ill child to meet Jack Rabbitt. Mathias is determined to fulfill this wish. So he gets Jack Rabbitt aka Jacqueline Randell's family PR firm Limelight International to represent one of his clients. A client by the way that nearly broke the firm in the first place. Although Mathias claims over and over he checks out his clients before recommending them, he slips up on this one, only because he is so focused on the person Jacqueline that he forgets check out this client. And gives Jacq's former cheating, stealing boyfriend Elliott Drescoll a way to blackmail her into getting money from her families firm, and lots of other people. When Mathias discovers his mistake he goes after Elliott with a vengeance. But meanwhile Jack Rabbitt draws a baby dragon on his black desk and adds to the picture each time she finds herself alone in his office. Much to Mathias' delight.

Great clean romance
