Book Description:
Unleashing your inner tigress isn't easy when you're a doormat by nature! Still, after escaping a wretched marriage to a cheating SOB, Dallas party planner Naomi Delacroix isn't about to let another man sweet-talk her into sheathing her protective claws. Not even hunky millionaire Royce Powell, who's hired her to arrange his mother's surprise party. Even if he does make her purr like a kitten with one heated glance...

Royce claims he's been in love with her ever since she threw a party for one of his friends a year ago. But if that's true, why is this incredibly eligible CEO currently taking applications for a wife? Despite herself, Naomi is tempted to fill one out. But can her inner tigress believe a man might change his stripes?

A great story by Gena Showalter. Naomi is just getting over her divorce. Royce hires her to organize a party, but makes it clear that he wants more than that. Naomi doesn't want to get involved with anybody. Royce won't give up. In the background, you have Naomi's wacky cousins, and her parents. Very sweet, romantic story. Funny, with a satisfying ending. I haven't read a Gena Showalter yet that failed to deliver.

This story was unbelievably loving. Not in the serious-sobering kind of way--although the hero did love her QUITE SERIOUSLY--this story was filled with witty barbs and banter. I busted out laughing numerous times.

The characters were absolutely great! The heroine, Naomi, was absolutely inspired and so were her cousins! Royce was simply to die for. Imagine being in-love like that--that everything he did was because of her.

It was hilarious how the roles between men and women were switched between the two! This simply is a MUST READ!

Another outstanding, and often hilarious, read by Ms. Showalter. Royce and Naomi are so endearing.

I normaly don't like "romance" novels, but I really enjoyed this one. Sure some parts were hot and steamy, but the storyline was also really good. If you are hesitant about romance novels, but enjoy a good "Chic Lit" storyline, pick up this book.

Gena Showalter's non-paranormal contemporaries are very touch and go for me, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I loved the way each chapter was tied together by a brief blurb about the heroine's "inner tigress", and the supporting cast of characters (the psychiatrist stepfather, the crazy cousins, and especially Royce's secretary!) brought me a lot of laughs. This was a fun one-time read full of Gena's quick-witted humor.
