Book Description:
Jane thinks nothing can make her lose her cool
But the princess of propriety blows a gasket the night she meets the contractor restoring the Wolcott mansion. Devlin Kavanagh's rugged sex appeal may buckle her knees, but the man is out of control! Jane had to deal with theatrics growing up—she won't tolerate them in someone hired to work on the house she and her two best friends have just inherited.
Dev could renovate the mansion in his sleep. But ever since the prissy owner spotted him jet-lagged, exhausted and hit hard by a couple of welcome-home drinks, she's been on his case. Yet there's something about her. Jane hides behind conservative clothes and a frosty manner, but her seductive blue eyes and leopard-print heels hint at a woman just dying to cut loose!

I thought this book had better potential than it actually was. For the length of the book I expected more information on the characters. This is also a start of a series of books concerning 3 friends.
All in all this book reminds me of one of those days where you were moving non stop but when someone asks you what you did - you can't really say what you did or show that anything was accomplished. A lot of reading with not a lot to show for it..

This book had so much potential, but I found myself very disappointed. The idea behind the story is a good one, but the heroine was not developed well and I saw no growth or backbone to her at all. There was a lot of fluff in the first half of the book and I too many "Oh My Gawd's".
The only time I found myself enjoying the book was when the hero's family was involved. The mystery in the story was clear to see from the beginning and was resolution was pretty weak.
I may read the other two when they come out just for the fact they were stronger characters in this story than Jane was!

What appears to be the first in a trilogy about three best friends who inherit a mansion, this is a return to Andersen's Exposure or Obsession era.
Strong story line, good characters and lots of sizzle!
Yay, Andersen, for returning to your roots!!

Cara C. (I found this book delightfully amusing and entertaining, forever a women in power supporter I found the bickering and cutting remarks and behavior amusing and so like what I watch at work and amongst friends of true passion. I great read that I was torn between keeping and posting for others to enjoy! I hope to find more on the other characters of this book!
