Book Description:
What's new? Me, for starters...
It all began when my job offered me a buy-out package. That's when the realization hit: I'm young, I'm rich (thanks to a hefty inheritance), and I'm boring. Not "needs a little zip" boring, either. More like "mustard stain on a Sears tweed couch" drab. French's in a sqeeze bottle, that's me. But suddenly I have Grey Poupon aspirations! Things are gonna change - starting now...
Building a better mantrap...
First things first: Exercise. Carrot juice. Straight hair. Whiter teeth. Clothes that fit (I have breasts? Who knew?) But wait - there's more. Life's kicked me around a bit, and I've been nursing my wounds for too long. I'm finally ready to take a chance on love with the perfect guy. He's handsome. He's smart. He's reliable. He's my CPA. Problem is, I'm clueless about winning him over. It's time to call in an expert. It's time to call in The Dog.
Down, boy...
Mike "The Dog" Dougherty is a man's man. A guy's guy. Okay, he's a chauvinist pig, and his sty is "The Dog House," a testosterone-charged column in Maximum for Him magazine. On one hand, I abhor all he stands for. On the other hand, who better to coach me? So here I am. Learning the complex unspoken language of the American male (Talk, bad. Sex, good.); trying exciting new things (Stripping lessons are empowering. Really.); falling for Mike. Uh oh. But the Mike I'm getting to know is different from The Dog. And the Mona I'm becoming isn't quite who I expected, either. This whole makeover scheme is getting crazier by the minute. But "crazy" beats "boring"...right?

Mona Warren leaves her job as an engineer at age 31, determined to change her life. She is tired of fading into the background, and she wants to win the heart of her dream guy, accountant Adam Ziegler. Her best friend, Greta, thinks Mona should take the time to find herself, but Mona is determined to make herself into the kind of woman Adam would fall for. To that end, she convinces magazine columnist Mike "the Dog" Dougherty--the ultimate male chauvinist--to help her. She dutifully signs up when Mike suggests that she take a class in exotic dancing, and when she finally does score a date with Adam, she even takes Mike's suggestion to have an actor impersonate a rock star and pretend to be her ex-boyfriend. Adam finally starts to fall for Mona, but Mona is caught off guard when she finds that she has feelings for Mike. Completely captivating, Coburn's latest will undoubtedly net the hearts of romantic comedy fans.

Fun read with Mona taking "retirement" in her 30's! I love the charactor "Dog". Love the makeover of her and her house.
