Él la quería dentro de su respetable vida... y ella sólo dentro de su cama. Nick Jamieson no era el hombre adecuado para Tess Newhart. Él era caviar y champán, y ella comida china y precocinada. Él llevaba trajes cortados a medida y ella vaqueros desgastados. Él quería progresar en su carrera y ella... lo quería a él. Porque cuando Nick sonreía, Tess veía a otro Nick: un hombre generoso que haría cualquier cosa por un amigo. Un hombre sexy que tenía el mejor cuerpo que ella había visto en toda su vida... Pero unas relaciones sexuales fantásticas no eran suficiente para construir algo serio, ¿o sí?

Wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy this at first. Like Manhunting, it took a few pages to get into the story, but I like the juxtaposition of views and opposing lifestyles in this. It’s somewhat amazing the author makes a romance between such disparate people believable. The plot resolves well, and some disagreements leading up to a wonderful scene at a very public dinner table are a delight. ( )

Tess and Nick broke up a while back. When Nick shows up at Tess’s door, he needs a favour. In order for a big promotion at his work (he’s a lawyer and his work (and money) has always been his priority), he needs someone to pose as his fiancee for a weekend event and he’s hoping Tess will help him out. They never had much in common beyond a wild attraction, and although Tess hesitates, she agrees. Not only that, she convinces her best friend to accompany Nick’s friend/fellow lawyer (Park) to the same weekend gathering, although she really can’t stand Park.

This was ok. Romance is not usually my “thing”, but sometimes the chick lit has enough other in it that it can be fun and light and enjoyable to me. There were attempts at humour that didn’t really make me laugh in this one, and I’m not sure I really liked any of the characters. There was a secondary plotline that was kind of interesting with a bit of a twist in it, which I liked. This was short and will be forgotten fairly soon, I’m sure. ( )

I wasn't sure if I read this book before and I had. It's good as all of Crusie's work is good but this is very dated in a way that others of her old books are not. The book was worth re-reading but not worth keeping. ( )

"3.5 out of 5 stars, Tess and Nick were quite a pair to read about. Especially with..."
