I enjoyed the storyline and couldn’t wait to see how love conquered all.     Let’s meet Kendall Brinkley, a twenty-eight- year-old divorcee, jobless, and forced to move back home with her parents and her four younger siblings.   She gets the opportunity to interview for an executive assistant position at a tech company owned by Beckett King in Denver courtesy of his grandmother Emilia Boyd.
