This is the best I've read from Katie MacAlister. Funny to the point of hysterical. I was laughing so hard at times, I think my family thought I was crazed. The heroine is a shift from the stronger ones she uses in her paranormal reads. She is not a strong kick butt, take charge kinda girl. She's more normal and average. I could really relate to that. I really enjoyed reading this light hearted offering. Sometimes you need a book that is just like this to make you feel good.

I'm mixed in my thoughts on this book. I think as a romance it fell way short. The heroine is way too self-centered and selfish and immature for a 29 yr old woman. I don't like how she treated the guy who was very serious about the relationship. However, as far as silly humor and sexy humor go it was way beyond a 5. I laughed out loud a LOT reading this. The heroine is trying to write a romance and lacks self-confidence and talent because we get to read parts of her story as she writes it; many parts based on her relationship with Alex. (Her name is Alix). those scenes and the ones in the book are hilarious but as I said don't read it as a nice romance. I don't really see how the relationship developed with him being so serious and having to coddle her so much but read as just a silly fun read you'll like it.

To be honest, this is not my favorite Katie McAlister - the story doesn't always hang together well, and Alexandra is a bit of a whiner. However, the sex is as steamy as you would expect and there are many moments of humor - especially the fragments of Alexandra's early novel writing efforts, which are screamingly funny-awful. And her neighbors - gee, wish I could find a place like that!

Could not be bothered to finish it!

It's stories like this that let traveling women freely romance when traveling, believing whatever the gigilos tell us. Since I've been to 27 different countries and romanced in quite a few with the locals, this story really appealed to me as IT COULD HAPPEN.

Great read, lighthearted, funny, cinderella story. Bridgety-Jones-ish. I can't stand the author's paranormal series but really like these. If you have a fondness for the Brits, this is great.
