But she has no choice unless she wants to be charged as an accomplice; and she figures the only way to clear her friend’s name is to prove he’s innocent. But things start to heat up as she spends more and more time with her “boyfriend” and she just might be falling for real. I liked this contemporary well enough. Sort of par for the course, but entertaining nonetheless. Sometimes contemporaries can be great reads, if only for the simply fact that they’re possible - they truly do allow you to dream. Besides, even in print Joe was a sizzling hot alpha male! Ilithyia | Jan 16, 2010 | ) blingtastic | Oct 11, 2008 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Despite some dated tropes, i.e,
The characters and plot are a mix of Jayne Ann Krentz and Kristen Ashley although the heroine is not as flighty as JAK's and the hero is not as much of an alpha-hole as KA's.
Joe initially comes across as a neanderthal whose preconceived ideas of the perfect woman - cool, calm, composed and willing to be a doormat - are particularly annoying and almost land him in the anti-hottie harem. Nevertheless, his past and close-knit family reveal his protective streak and tremendous capacity for love.
Gabrielle Breedlove, the owner of a new age shop selling essential oils and other knick-knacks, is the complete antithesis of everything Joe wants in a woman. She is open, honest, honest, fanciful and far too naive for her own good. Joe's domineering and condescending attitude makes her blood boil, but she finds herself attracted to him nonetheless.
Joe and Gabrielle's interactions are sweet and sexy, and Joe's groveling at the end more than makeup for his ass-hat behavior.
The minor suspense plot is intriguing although it is obvious from the start that Gabrielle's business partner is a complete crook using her as a legitimate front for his criminal activity.
Overall, an entertaining read that brings to an end my ongoing read of Gibson's backlist. I am very happy that it ended on a high note.
