I'm just going to put it out there -- why am I not reading more of this author's work? Gah, I've been missing out on some really fine writing and storytelling. 
 Ginger is a tattoo artist with a business venture about to take off and she's got more work than employees to handle it. Add to that the fact that her best friend has moved away, her family isn't exactly supportive and Ginger's up to her eyeballs in "stuff". 
 Enter Christopher, a local business owner and gorgeous soul. There's no other way to describe him -- he's absolutely wonderful. He's optimistic, sexy and very interested in Ginger. Although, the story is told from Ginger's point of view, there are snippets of Christopher's point of view as he interacts with his brother who is struggling with serious depression, so I felt I got to know him. 
 I really connected with Ginger and her situation. She's a talented, motivated artist trying to prove herself in spite of insecurities deeply rooted in family and past relationships. I just loved her so much and can't even count how many quotes I highlighted that reached right into me. It's wonderful when words can just hit the mark so perfectly. Ginger is good at describing what is holding her back, but not so good at figuring out how to move forward instead of letting her past hold her back. 
 I love it when a romance takes a while to develop between the characters and I thought Ginger and Christopher's relationship progression was perfect. It wasn't all smooth and hearts and flowers -- there were some real bumps as Ginger has to make some real decisions about whether she's going to put herself out there or stay in the safe zone. Christopher's deep feelings for her are palpable -- and yet I did understand Ginger's hesitancy. 
 I read around 3-4 romance titles a week, and it's been a while since I've been "wowed." Small Change wowed me. The hangover from this book is real and big. Needless to say, I will be reading more of this author's work
