Would probably make for a pretty decent rom com

3.5 stars

Ali Winters discovers in short order that the lease to the house she was living in with her boyfriend has not been renewed, that her boyfriend has already moved out and doesn’t seem to want her to continue being with him, in fact he has been cheating on her for some time. She’s discovered in a state of partial undress by the actual owner of the house, while she’s leaving a very strongly worded voice mail on her boyfriend’s answerphone. When she’s also accused of stealing a large amount of money from her boyfriend’s office, her life really seems to be unravelling at the seams.

Luke Hanover is a San Francisco police detective and has returned to his hometown of Lucky Harbor for a much needed vacation. After an extremely high profile murder case went horribly wrong, the detectives involved in the case are under a lot of media attention and Luke just needed to get away from it all. He returns to the house he inherited from his grandmother and finds a half-naked woman in it, yelling at someone on the phone. After hearing Ali’s story, he takes pity on her and agrees to let her stay for a day or two, until she can find somewhere new to rent. That she seems very adept at scaring away the reporters who keep calling is a handy bonus. Then Ali is accused of stealing a large amount of money, from an office she had access to and a man she had a very real and understandable grudge against. The evidence against her is not looking good, but Luke is pretty convinced she’s innocent. Of course, he’s on vacation and has no intention of getting involved in any sort of new investigation, even to help someone as cute as his new temporary roommate.
