Wonderful! Wonderful!October 24, 2008 This book was WONDERFUL. It was very witty and smartly written. The hero and the heroine where perfect together, with their cute bantering and sexy feelings for each other. Naomi was afraid to get hurt again, and I could relate with everything she was going through. It's hard to trust again once you've been hurt. Gena Showalter, has inspired me to find my inner tigress!
Very FunnyJuly 29, 2008 This is one of the first books I read by this author, and there were times I was crying I laughed so hard. It was very light and read fast. I would definitely recommend to others.
Don't Bother.....July 24, 2008 This one had some promising aspects. I was laughing out loud during this first part of this book, but then all of a sudden it just became to "over the top" and unrealistic for me to even be able to suspend belief for a moment...which is funny because this a romance novel!
Here's what I disliked: 1. I don't prefer to read books written in the first person. These kind of books usually leave out to much of what others are thinking. This book is a perfect example of just that. 2. I don't like books where there is no good reason for the couple to be together. This book hopes to get the reader to buy into the idea that is was love (or lust) at first sight for him. I never believed that a rich and classy guy would act and behave like he does. 3. She bugged me.....all the tigress stuff irritated me and I couldn't figure out for the life of me what in the world was wrong with these people.
Stick with her paranormal stuff.....The Darkest series is very good.
great readFebruary 23, 2008 I always enjoy Gena Showalter's books and this was no exception. This book kept me hooked from cover to cover.
Absolutely hystericalSeptember 25, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
After barely surviving her painful divorce to philandering Richard the Bastard with her sanity intact, Naomi Delacroix vows never to fall in love or get married again. On her way to an interview for a lucrative catering assignment, she is mugged and barely makes it to her meeting on time with wealthy entrepreneur Royce Powell due to a hold up in the lobby filled with green-clad women. Royce makes it clear that she's hired and wants her to work exclusively for his mother's surprise party (which is no surprise to mom). Naomi finds the bachelor sexy as hell, despite his on-going quest (and application process) for a wife. What she doesn't know right off is that Royce fell for her months ago when he saw her across a crowded room at a wedding reception she catered and has been trying to ask her out since. Adding fuel to her contempt for men, she suspects that her stepfather is stepping out on her mother. As Royce makes her face her fears and take a walk on the wild side, Naomi finds that her inner Tigress is liking the attention he gives her (especially the smoldering sex). But can she forgive the sins of the past and make a go at a future with a man who seems too good to be true?
Showalter has a gift for dialogue. The bantering between the two is absolutely hysterical, as were Naomi's constant inner dialogues as she tried unsuccessfully to talk herself out of a relationship with Royce. The chemistry between the two blazes off the pages, making them a believable duo. Though I found Royce just a little too patient, Showalter has created an endearing and sensual story that will resonate with the reader.
