( )This book actually had me laughing out loud. The characters were witty and likable. More fluff than substance, but a good read! Entertaining but fluffy and fairly two-dimensional. All a good vehicle for some steamy sex scenes but sort of like candy - wonderful while eating, quickly gone. I've read better Cabot books. Meg Cabot cracks me up. This book was no exception, and I giggled through the whole thing. The entire "plot" if you can call it that, is ridiculous. It's a cross between your favoritie action movie: cheesy lines, lots of gunshots and explosions, and your favorite romance novel: plenty of heated gazes and trite introspection. All wrapped up in the shiny packaging of gently sarcastic presentation. A highly entertaining mockery and ideal escapist reading, but if you insist on depth or character development, you might want to give this one a miss. I've put off reading this novel for awhile... because of its cover. I know, I know, never judge a book by its cover. But I just didn't really like it. But, I got over it ever since I got into my Meg Cabot phase. It's just... awesome how her teen and adult fiction appeals to readers (and myself). This book seems so.. typical at first. Boy and girl despise one another. Boy and girl go through these hard struggles to learn that they actually have a sexual tension. Boy and girl are going to live happily ever after. But I don't exactly know what Cabot does to make it anything but typical. There are plot twists. There are hilarious, brave, confusing, emotional, courageous, starstruck side characters that add to the plot. It's just not your usual chick lit, I guess. Still I would only recommend it to only to chick lit readers. And even then, I liked her other ones better: Boy Meets Girl, The Boy Next Door and Every Boy's Got One. no reviews | add a review

|
Success hasn't spoiled screenwriter Lou Calabrese -- it's just given her a taste for luxury. And it's put her in some bizarre situations -- like in a helicopter en route to the wilds of Alaska, sharing too-close quarters with the last man she wants to be with: Jack Townsend! Once a sexy nobody whom Lou helped make a somebody, Jack's just been dumped by a high-profile Hollywood airhead -- who's eloped with Lou's longtime love! So what else could go wrong?
Well...Their pilot could try to shoot the most adored man in America. They could crash land in the icy, mountainous middle of nowhere. And at the worst possible moment, when survival should be their only consideration, Jack could start wondering if maybe he wasn't a wee bit too hasty for not giving this sexy screenwriter a second look -- while Lou could start noticing how superstar Jack is kind of hot after all ...
