I found the first 50 pgs of this sort of slow to ramp up, but just when I was about to say "meh" and throw in the towel, the plot got going. I was pretty hooked after that. The romance was good, but the details built around it (Clara's job at the storage unit facility, her job search in New York's publishing industry, her constant worry about money) was what made the goofiness of the blackmail romance plot ring true. This was a fun popcorn read.
