I liked this. Nice agreeable characters who seemed real. I could have used a bit more indepth characterization to bring it up a star. Biggest problem was you knew from the beginning they were going to get found out so I was pre-wincing waiting for the shoe to fall. I prefer not having that "okay let's hurry up and get this over with" feeling for so much of the book. Plus point was that they admitted that they loved each other about 2/3rds of the way through so that was kind of different. ( )

eh. it was okay. characters were fun. some suuuuper steamy sex scenes. seen the plot several times before. ( )

This was just a lighthearted romance about a womanising politician whom the public disapprove of,who pays a hairstylist desperately struggling alone to support her three children,to pretend to be his fiancee.A bit sexually frank for me ,but not nasty,and well leavened with humour, and charming characters.Not a genre I read usually,but it was a relief after yet another conspiracy/terrorism/ novel with crazed arabs wanting to blow up the world - we get enough of that in the real world!.Just pleasant and relaxing fluff between the serial killers.alien invasions and worthy classics ( )

I usually love Donovan but this was not her best. In fact, I really dislike the 'let's pretend we're married so I can get elected' storylines. Blah! The hero and the book don't get my vote! (Grade: C) ( )
