Since the car accident that caused traumatic brain injury, Jason has fought to regain his memories and the ability to organize thoughts and control  emotions. His promising future shattered, he works as a night janitor in an office building and clings to routine to make it through his days. New lawyer Anna breaks down one evening after fumbling her first court case. Self-doubt brings her to tears in a deserted stairwell where Jason finds her and offers comforting words. From this unexpected meeting an unlikely romance begins. A casual coffee date soon leads to a deeper connection and eventually a steamy affair. But are Jason and Anna’s growing feelings for each other strong enough to overcome the social chasm that divides them and the very real issues of Jason’s disability?

我的評比:4葉

        男主角的職業是清潔工,會不會有人不喜歡這種設定?反正我是雜食動物,什麽題材都吞咽得下。女主角是律師,第一次上法庭表現不好,下班後在樓梯上坐著哭,男主角做清潔的時候看到了就上前安慰她,由此兩人相識。但是,律師白天上班,清潔工是等白領們下班後才開始上班,二人時間不配合,怎麽約會呢?我不說我不說。
        兩人相識的時候,除了工作差別大,男主角Jason還有別的缺點,他因為車禍導致腦部受傷,所以車禍前的事情有些完全不記得,還有,他不能開車,總之,開始時因為兩人差別這麽大,所以都沒想到感情那方面去。但是機緣巧合或者說作者安排得當,二人一來二去就變成了男女朋友。剛開始的時候,Anna還有所保留,直言她不希望二人關系發展得太快,但是很快就head over heals,中間也經過一些變故和考驗,兩人決定同居,Jason搬去Anna的公寓,省去房租,其中一段獨白很有意思:我承認,我象個被包養的男人,但這個安排我們兩人都滿意。我負責清潔打掃、煮飯、洗衣,她負責買家用雜物(Yeah, I was a kept man, but the living arrangement suited both of us. I cleaned the house, cooked, and did laundry. She brought home the bacon.)
        通常羅曼史的設定,如果女比男地位高,一般會出現一個戲劇性的轉折,男主角繼承遺產,或者與親生父母相逢,或者奮發圖強成為商界巨子,還好,這個故事沒有這種離奇的不合理情節,結尾有點象Julie James的書,是Anna 邀請Jason和她一起去父母家過聖誕節,雖然到此就結束了,可以預料二人會面對父母的非難,還有Jason遇到人多就會精神緊張,等等這些情況都盡在不言中,但我完全可以想象二人共同攜手面對明天、絕不輕言放棄的種種情節。
